‘He tweeted his way to treason’: Internet mocks Trump for ‘confessing’ to Russian election hacking

Noor Al-Sibai

In a rare Friday evening tweet, President Donald Trump appeared to finally admit that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election — and in characteristic fashion, somehow managed to twist that on former President Barack Obama. In response, Twitter users did what they do best — gave him hell for it.

“The Obama Administration knew far in advance of November 8th about election meddling by Russia. Did nothing about it. WHY?” the president tweeted.

“Why does Trump suddenly have interest in Russia’s election meddling?” Twitter user Adam Best asked. “He’s denied it from the start. Blamed some imaginary 400-pound hacker?”

“I’ll say it: Obama had already confronted Putin, so Putin told Trump to yell that the election was rigged so Obama would keep quiet,” user Marie Nina said.

Tell Nancy Pelosi Enough is Enough!

Donald Trump has obstructed justice, lied repeatedly to the American people and has been forced to shut down his charity after engaging in illegal activity. Democrats are debating impeachment. If Democrats fault Republicans for standing by as Trump disgraces the office, Democrats must stand up. Sign your name to tell Nancy Pelosi enough is enough.
