The Democrats (and some Liberal Republicans) are now trying to claim the Russians stole the election and gave it to Donald Trump.

Julian Assange, the head of WikiLeaks, states it was the work of insiders — a National Security Agency individual and another who was a member of the Democratic National Committee — and that they leaked information, not hacked it. He should know, as he was the one who released all those emails that were written by Hillary Clinton and her cronies. And who can forget the thousands of emails Clinton deleted that the FBI found.

Vladimir Putin must be laughing at the stupidity of the American people who are believing the latest rant by the losing side.

Trump won the election. He was voted for by Americans, who turned out to vote in record numbers. Clinton won California and New York — the two most populous states.

The recount fizzled. Trump gained five votes. Give those idiots a coloring book and some Play Doh and send them to a safe place.

Hacking has been going on since the Internet was invented. America does it, too. Didn’t President Obama apologize to Germany’s Angela Merkel when the U.S. hacked into her cell phone?

Leftists are not doing this country any favors. They are creating dissent and turmoil — the mantra of the Democratic Party.
