With No Evidence, Trump Claims ‘Millions’ Voted Illegally

President-elect Donald Trump took to his favorite social media platform Sunday to issue thus-far baseless claims of voter fraud and to send a stream of tweets indicating that the Hillary Clinton campaign’s involvement in an election recount was hypocritical.

Trump, who himself suggested that he would not concede the election during the campaign if he had lost, used his Twitter account to declare that “nothing will change.” He also reiterated that Clinton had already conceded the election.

Trump, however, also effectively offered his own support for the recount, providing a seemingly baseless allegation that he would have won the popular vote “if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.”

The white nationalist who was caught on camera saying “hail Trump” during an event last Saturday to a crowd of cheering spectators, some of whom responded with Nazi-like salutes, is being assailed by the elite Dallas prep school he attended in the 1990s.

And former classmates of Richard Spencer, who heads an organization that has been described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a leader in “academic racism,” have raised more than $40,000 in his name for an aid group that resettles refugees.

The fundraiser was launched last week with a goal of $20,000, the Dallas Morning News reported.

In a statement published Friday, the headmaster of St. Mark’s School of Texas, David W. Dini, did not name 38-year-old Spencer, who also is a seminal figure in the so-called “alt-right” movement, but referred to the video footage that featured him and said that the “alumnus” leading the event was “bringing even greater attention to these hateful, divisive, racist, and anti-Semitic views. This has been deeply troubling and terribly upsetting to our whole school community.”
