Seth Abramson...Scary times

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1229138445240590336.html


What I've learned in the last 24 hours: the far right has been pushing the fake news—while we were all asleep—that Clinton never conceded the 2016 election to Trump. It's clear they're doing this to pre-justify Trump not conceding in November. Scary stuff.

WATCH: Hillary Clinton Concedes Presidential Race To Donald Trump
"This is not the outcome we wanted or worked so hard for. I'm sorry we didn't win this election for the values we share and the vision we hold for our country," the Democratic nominee told supporters…

FAKE NEWS EXAMPLE/ Please DO NOT RETWEET the link below, as it's fake news coordinated by @michellemalkin (who created @TwitchyTeam, a fake news website @jack and @Twitter chose to verify). I put it here so you understand the game the far right is playing.
'You misspelled Hillary and 2016': Seth Abramson and Katie Hill really STEP in it teaming up to push Trump election conspiracy

Sounds like they're talking about Hillary ...

NOTE/ Clinton of course conceded *quite publicly* within a matter of hours of the final results of the 2016 election coming in. So you *wouldn't believe* how many far-right, misinformed nutjobs have tweeted at me over the last 24 hours that the 2016 election *remains unconceded*.
NOTE2/ Needless to say, a Google search *immediately* confirms that Clinton conceded to Trump in 2016. The people—including high-traffic Twitter accounts like @CarpeDonktum—spreading the fake news that it didn't happen have a very specific endgame in mind.

Question for the Bloomberg crowd...?

What is his position on trump’s accountability?

I am not voting for another politician that forgives and forgets.
