Many in the media were aghast at Donald Trump’s insistence on a “wait and see” approach to accepting the election results after all the ballots have been cast, or mysteriously discovered in someone’s trunk, or whatever the case may be on November 8th.
However, Fox News Senior Political Analyst Brit Hume was just cheeky enough to point out their rank hypocrisy on this particular issue:
You don't have to agree (I don't) w/Trump's refusal to commit to accepting '16 result to reject Al Gore precedent. What Gore did was worse.

Just seven years ago, Hillary Clinton herself said Bush was “selected not elected,” and now she wants to deny Trump the right to challenge the results should they be, er, suspect? Meanwhile, what WAS suspect was the way Al Gore tried to manipulate the results in 2000.
Actually, he lost the popular vote and all the recounts, which he tried to rig by seeking recount(s) in areas favorable to him. https://t.co/8zZ1t5VISd

For his part, Trump has clarified his position on the issue:
Trump: "Always, I will follow and abide by all of the rules and traditions of all of the many candidates who have come before me." pic.twitter.com/Enecr8xR0i

DJT now says he'll l accept a "clear result" if HRC wins, reserves right to challenge if questionable. Should have said that last night. https://t.co/WlF9WmjwXY

Seems fair enough, right? If you’re not in the business of rigging elections, you’ve got nothing to worry about!
