Kellyanne Conway Loses It After Hillary Clinton Suggests the 2016 Election Was Stolen

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Tuesday slammed 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton for appearing to suggest that she had the 2016 election stolen from her.

“She lost that election fairly and squarely, and when she says that election was stolen from her, she’s playing a dangerous game,” Conway said while speaking on “The Hugh Hewitt Show.”

“Here she is 2 1/2 years later, literally will not accept the election results because she lost.”

Clinton said in Los Angeles over the weekend that she fears Russia will use the same hacking and disinformation tactics in the 2020 election that it did in the last cycle. She also said that she’s been telling 2020 Democratic candidates to prepare for the possibility.

“You can run the best campaign, you can even become the nominee, and you can have the election stolen from you,” Clinton said at a tour stop for “An Evening with the Clintons.”

n 2016, President Trump raised alarms after declining to say he’d “absolutely accept the result of the election” during a presidential debate. Clinton called his comments “horrifying” at the time.

“Hillary Clinton is out there, claiming that the election was stolen from her, where nobody told her not to go to Wisconsin or Michigan or Pennsylvania, nobody told her not to have a good message,” Conway said. “Nobody told her to be the second-most popular person in a two-person household. That must really hurt every morning.”
