The Democratic National Committee is desperately trying to keep the failing Russia “collusion” narrative going, and so now the party is disputing the 2016 election results.

Not accepting the results of the election is an act Hillary Clinton characterized in 2016 as “threatening our democracy.”

Addressing a Cleveland rally shortly before the election, Clinton feigned outrage that Trump wouldn’t commit to accepting the results.

On October 21, 2016, Hillary denounced Trump for refusing to say he would “respect the results of this election,” drawing boos and jeers from the crowd.

“Make no mistake: By doing that, he is threatening our democracy,” she continued, prompting head nods of agreement from her followers.

“He is basically saying, ‘Hey, we’ve been around for 240 years, and we’ve always had peaceful transitions no matter who won, who lost…’

“If you lose an election, I’ve lost elections, you don’t feel very good the next day, do you?” she said.

“But we know in our country the difference between leadership and dictatorship,” Hillary lectured.

But now, undoubtedly with Clinton’s blessing, the DNC is suing the Trump campaign, the Russian government and Wikileaks, accusing them of “conspiring to disrupt the 2016 presidential election,” CNBC reports.

The multimillion-dollar lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court says that “In the Trump campaign, Russia found a willing and active partner in this effort” to mount “a brazen attack on American Democracy,” which included Russian infiltration of the Democratic Party computer network.

The Trump campaign, according to the lawsuit, “gleefully welcomed Russia’s help.”

The suit says that “preexisting relationships with Russia and Russian oligarchs” with Trump and Trump associates “provided fertile ground for [the] Russia-Trump conspiracy.”

The common purpose of the scheme, according to the Democratic National Committee, was to “bolster Trump and denigrate the Democratic Party nominee,” Hillary Clinton, while boosting the candidacy of Trump, “whose policies would benefit the Kremlin.”

DNC Chairman Tom Perez said the suit is “not partisan, it’s patriotic.”

“If the occupant of the Oval Office won’t protect our democracy, Democrats will. It is our obligation to the American people,” Perez said.

So who’s “threatening our democracy” now?
