President Donald Trump channeled emotions from the bitter 2016 US presidential election by taking a shot at his former rival on Twitter."Crooked Hillary Clinton now blames everybody but herself, refuses to say she was a terrible candidate. Hits Facebook & even Dems & DNC," Trump tweeted on Wednesday evening.
The tweet follows the comments Clinton made at Recode's Code Conference in Los Angeles earlier in the day. At the conference, Clinton ripped the Democratic Party's "bankrupt" operation that she acquired after winning the party's nomination.
"I get the nomination," said Clinton. "So I'm now the nominee of the Democratic Party. I inherit nothing from the Democratic Party. I mean it was bankrupt. It was on the verge of insolvency. Its data was mediocre to poor, nonexistent, wrong. I had to inject money into it."
Clinton also alleged that Trump was given a "tried and true effective" data operation from the GOP, which took advantage of Facebook users, once he won his party's nomination.
Nearly an hour after Trump sent out his initial tweet criticizing Clinton's remarks, Clinton responded with a reference to a misspelled word Trump tweeted the night before - one that has since taken social-media by storm: "People in covfefe houses shouldn't throw covfefe."
