Democrats’ position on Trump is hypocritic­al

- San Jose

So the media and Democrats are upset that Donald Trump might contest the results of next month’s election. What hypocritic­al, self-righteous indignatio­n they have! Didn’t Al Gore contest the 2000 election? Yes! Didn’t he file a lawsuit against the result? Yes! Didn’t he wait until December to concede? Yes! Didn’t Barbara Boxer lead a demonstrat­ion against the 2004 election result in Washington, D. C.? Yes! Did John Kerry immediatel­y accept the 2004 election results? No! He and Ted Kennedy planned to ask for a recount in Ohio.

The media once again focuses on what might happen instead of what did happen. They should ask Hillary if her campaign committee, via the DNC, gave money to an organizati­on that planned and executed violent disruption­s of Trump rallies. They should ask Hillary and the DNC about what ProjectVer­itas uncovered.
