Clinton & Trump Aides Forum Devolves Into Screaming Match – “I Would Rather Lose Than Win The Way You Did”

How was this ever going to end well? An election post-mortem forum erupted into a shouting match as top strategists of Hillary Clinton’s campaign accused their Republican counterparts of fueling and legitimizing racism to elect Donald Trump. Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri exclaimed “I would rather lose than win the way you guys did,”to which Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s campaign manager, fumed “I can tell you are angry, but wow… Will you ever accept the election results?” And it went down-hill from there…
As NBC News reports, a Harvard panel that traditionally writes the first draft of presidential campaign history devolved into a shouting match between Trump and Clinton aides on Thursday in a raw, emotional display echoing the divisive campaign.
Jennifer Palmieri, who was Hillary Clinton’s communications director, zeroed in on Steve Bannon, the incoming chief strategist for President-elect Donald Trump who once ran the web site Breitbart.
“If providing a platform for white supremacists makes me a brilliant tactician, I am proud to have lost,” said Palmieri, one of six Clinton aides who sat across tables from top Trump campaign staff at a forum moderated by three journalists, NBC News’ Andrea Mitchell among them. “I would rather lose than win the way you guys did.”
