This is what I'm talking about.

Hilary said, without any proof, "I believe he understands that the many varying tactics they used, from voter suppression and voter purging to hacking to the false stories — he knows that — there were just a bunch of different reasons why the election turned out like it did."

But you make excuses about "sour grapes". It's not, she making claims of "voter suppression", "hacking" that resulted in a unfair election. That's a very serious accusation and undermines the election process. Just as serious as Republicans claiming election fraud.

Either making claims about illegitimate elections is wrong or not.

The difference is she's not wrong about those things (3/4 of them):

there was interference in the election (hacking) Republicans have pushed for voter suppression "fake" stories did plague her election (emails, benghazi) voter purge I'm not sure what that is suppose to be about in this context.

And this is coming from a person that "hates" Hillary.

I don't make any excuse for her statements, I'm saying she not Donald trump who controls and influences their party.

How is her conduct during the Benghazi crisis and her leaked emails “interference”? Those seem like legitimate things for voters to take into consideration?

Again, Republicans say there were issues with the election and it’s “threatening democracy”, Hilary does it and everyone thinks it fine.

It’s hypocritical.
