‘Never Stop Believing That Fighting for What’s Right is Worth It’
Hillary Clinton just addressed the nation, conceding the election to Donald Trump.
She eloquently said that America must respect the rule of law, and it must be applied equally to all, suggesting a warning to Donald Trump:
“Our constitution enshrines the rule of law, the principle that we are all equal in rights and dignity, freedom of worship and expression. We respect and cherish these values too.”
“I am sorry we did not win this election for the values we share and the vision we hold for this country.”
