US Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton described her rival Donald Trump as a “threat to American democracy” for refusing to honour results of the general elections.
“On Wednesday night, Donald Trump did something no other presidential nominee has ever done. He refused to say that he would respect the results of this election. By doing that, he is threatening our democracy,” Clinton said at an election rally in Ohio.
Clinton’s remarks were followed by two round of booing by the audience against Trump, who during the third and final presidential debate in las Vegas on Wednesday said that he can’t commit at this point if he will accept the results of the presidential elections.
“He (Trump) is basically saying hey, we have been around 240 years and we have always had peaceful transitions no matter who won or who lost. look, if you lose an election — I have lost elections, you don’t feel very good the next day, do youIJ But we know in our country the difference between leadership and dictatorship, rightIJ” Clinton said.
