The MSM has been going nuts this morning with outrage on top of outrage regarding Trump’s refusal to say he would accept the results of the election last night.
As I told you earlier, I don’t think Trump meant anything like what the MSM is suggesting he meant, especially when they use their guests to call him a fascist or a third world dictator. He just meant that he may contest the election in the event that there’s voter fraud or recounts are needed.
And he pretty much explained that to a crowd today in Ohio.

Comments like that don’t really help him quell the outrage, but it’s pretty clear he was really saying it to rile the crowd up about a Trump victory.
Here’s a clip from a few minutes later where he expounds on this issue:

Yeah I really think there’s nothing to see here. As I said before, he probably should have just said ‘yes’ last night but I don’t think his answer was outrageous like pundits are making it out to be.
