Wait, what? Is Hillary avoiding her supporters — and a concession speech?

Hearing that @HillaryClinton will not speak at Javits tonight

Bad optics, much?

Wow. Pooler @danmericaCNN reports that Clinton campaign chair John Podesta just left HRC hotel to come to Javits solo. She is not coming.

Per pooler @danmericaCNN, @johnpodesta just left Peninsula hotel & said he's on his way to Javits now. HRC is not.

It's almost 2:00 am, about the time when the Javitz center is supposed to close. John Podesta heading here. Clinton will remain in her hotel

Yikes. Bit of a slap in the face to Hillary’s dedicated supporters, no?

If Clinton doesn't speak to her crowd tonight, that is just another example of her elitism. Not cool. https://t.co/H4TbPjpPCY

Doesn’t exactly scream “taking the high road,” either.

I don't care about Podesta. She's not showing up, she lost.

She's not going to concede? What?

— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) November 9, 2016

Hillary won't concede… or is too ill to make it.

— Bob Owens (@bob_owens) November 9, 2016

HIllary too drunk for a concession speech?

— Phil Kerpen (@kerpen) November 9, 2016

Hillary is not going to concede. Way to Al Gore things.

On the other hand, maybe she’s got a good reason for ditching her fans:

Maybe Hillary is skipping her own party because she and Bill are already on a plane to a nice country without extradition. #2016Election

We wouldn’t put it past her.

Update:

Here we go: John Podesta delivers ‘too close to call’ message, will have ‘more to say’ in the morning
