‘Some people are sore losers,' Clinton mocks Trump for 'rigged' election claims and says his comments are more consistent with what dictators might say about their opponent.



Hillary Clinton ridiculed Donald Trump once again tonight for claiming the election is being ‘rigged’ to give her the win.

‘Some people are sore losers, and you know, we’ve just gotta keep going,’ she said, her Charlotte, North Carolina, crowd erupting into a ‘Hillary’ chant.

Since Trump said last Wednesday at the final presidential debate that he may not accept the results of the election if she wins, Clinton has hammered him for it, asserting at each stop that her opponent is a ‘direct threat to democracy.’


She said Trump's comments were more consistent with what dictators in non-democratic countries might say about their opponents.

‘I have to admit, you know, when we were both asked the question,’ about abiding by the outcome of the election, ‘I assumed he would say what everybody has always said, which is, “hey, of course,” ‘Clinton said tonight.

His refusal to do so is an affront to American values, she argued.

She reminded her audience that she visited 112 countries as secretary of state. ‘And a lot of those countries are places that don’t even pretend to be democracies.


‘And then there are ones that pretend to be democracies, but if you’re the political opponent to a powerful, strong dictator, you end up in exile or you end up in jail or you end up dead.'


She added: ‘It is not a joke.’
Clinton also conjured up images of counties whose leaders jail, exile and even execute the losing political party's presidential candidates in a Friday night warning to voters.
'That can never be allowed to happen here,' Clinton said as she took on Trump.
Clinton said at the Cleveland, Ohio, event that the 'difference between leadership and dictatorship' is the peaceful transition of power.
At a Saturday rally, in Pittsburgh, Clinton took her warning a step further and brought up Trump’s threat from another debate to ‘jail’ her if he take the Oval.


In Charlotte, a man wearing a pro-Trump t-shirt was arrested after allegedly punching a person attending Clinton's event.

The man was arrested for civil assault and charged with a misdemeanor, CNN reported, and the victim did not need treatment.
