No, Sean Spicer, no one claims that the elections were "rigged" [View all]

though, of course, your side would have had you lost.

But appearing on Smerconish CNN show you kept yelling that you won fair and square, that you got all these electoral votes and Russia had nothing to do with this.

Not with the actual voting. But spreading fake news about Hillary: that pizzeria with child pornography, that she suffered from Parkinson's, all the hacked email - all these convinced many voters not to vote for her. Some, I think, just stayed home.

You claimed that the RNC was not hacked. Perhaps you are right. But let's be honest: had it been, would you stand by each and every email? No doubt Trump was trashed in your emails until Nov. 8. Not to mention the rest of the dwarfs who wanted to get their names in the news.

And as Smerconish and other guests kept saying: how can Trump be a commander in chief if he does not trust his own CIA? And to bring the Iraq WMD to the game - these people are long gone from government.
