Remember when Hillary Clinton said this just days before the 2016 election:
Donald Trump refused to say that he’d respect the results of this election.
That’s a direct threat to our democracy.
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) October 24, 2016
Ever since November of 2016, Democrats have added “unless it’s the Democrat who loses” to Hillary’s tweet. Kamala Harris had a two-fer over the weekend with this pander-palooza of a statement designed to rile up the Dem base:
Sen. @KamalaHarris speaks to Detroit @NAACP: "Let's say this loud and clear — without voter suppression, @StaceyAbrams would be the governor of Georgia, @AndrewGillum is the governor of Florida. So the truth is we need a new Voting Rights Act." pic.twitter.com/j37Rjkhcmb

That’s nothing short of shameless:
When Dems say Trump is a “threat to our Democracy” and “undermining Democratic norms” show them this.
What a dangerously deranged party. https://t.co/4WSGsc16yh

More dangerous talk from people obsessed with power and unable to handle defeat. https://t.co/h0HfVePzVe

And it’s quite possible we haven’t seen anything yet.
Yelling something doesn't make it true

Lying, pandering and sore loserdom are prerequisites in the Dem field https://t.co/BB1Wh3QTWc

Abrams herself has talked about the high turnout in Georgia for the gubernatorial election, but “voter suppression,” or something.

Can Dems start speaking up about this stuff being dangerous? Please? https://t.co/SHUJDMUfv6

Not being challenged on this statement by anyone in media ( I don't say journalism anymore ) continually reinforces how much they suck. https://t.co/0g1CTW9079

Harris won’t be challenged on it, but if Trump takes issue with what she said, at least the media will be able to take another “Republicans pounce” approach.
