Last week, MSNBC’s Chris Hayes blamed Hillary’s defeat on Twitter. It seems a study revealed that the top three election controversies on Twitter all involved Clinton. The graph is hard to read, but from what I can make out, a bunch of the lower ones also involved Clinton. E.g., Abedin/Weiner, Clinton’s Health, Loretta Lynch.
WikiLeaks = 33,083,038 tweets
Hayes claimed that the WikiLeaks e-mail dumps “produced no legitimate scandal” which is a flat out lie. The revelations from the leaked e-mails was so damaging that Debbie Wasserman Schultz had to resign as DNC Chair and CNN fired Donna Brazile. And do let’s recall that Twitter is user driven. It was VOTERS who were tweeting all this stuff, not the media or the campaign machines.
E-mail scandal = 21,123,778
Hayes claimed the FBI found “no wrongdoing” in Clinton’s sending classified e-mails via an unsecured, private server while she was Secretary of State. That’s also a flat out lie. The FBI did not find grounds to prosecute Clinton, but Director James Comey made it perfectly clear that her handling of classified material had been extremely reckless, which was obviously a concern for those deciding if she could be trusted with the more important and more sensitive post of POTUS.
Her “basket of deplorables” smear of Trump’s supporters = 5,989,433
Interestingly, Hayes had nothing to say about this one, maybe because he was another of those Leftist “journos” who didn’t have a problem with Hillary’s Sept. 9, 2016 statement, because he agreed with it.
Hayes said he also agreed with the conclusion reached by the organization that did the study, that Twitter helped Hillary lose, because “the medium moved on too quickly for anything to really stick to Trump.”
NEVER MIND that it moved just as fast for Clinton as it did for Trump.
