Soon after John Podesta dropped by the Javits Center to send the remaining Hillary Clinton supporters home to bed with the hopes of better news in the morning, Donald Trump took the stage at his headquarters and confirmed that he had received a concession call from the former secretary of state.
So … does that mean Clinton’s supporters who waited until 2:30 a.m. to hear from her won’t be getting a concession speech? There was that weird “whatever happens” tweet that went out just before 9 p.m., but that’s not much of a consolation.
Since I was asleep… are the rumblings true? Did Hillary not give a concession speech?

Hillary didn't show her face. She didn't come out on stage to talk to her supporters. Instead Podesta walked on stage w a lame brief speech

So where the hell is Hillary with the concession speech?

They just sent everyone at the Clinton rally home in tears. No speech by Hillary. Sad!

Also, where tf is Hillary? She lost with no grace. I am very disappointed in that. No speech, no nothing. Typical political move ugh

That was Trumps best speech of the campaign meanwhile Hillary stiffed those who had been waiting all day to hear from her. Says a lot.

Ouch.
This really is sad and, as I said before, classless. https://t.co/B7xiwrPt7C

Hillary Clinton refusing to give a concession speech tonight is the most hypocritical thing I've ever heard

My strong guess is that Hillary Clinton wants to choose her own time and place for a speech, as she did in 2008 https://t.co/OaaShg6aIE
