Fox News Host Howard Kurtz Fact-Checks Corey Lewandowski’s Claim Hillary Clinton Never Conceded 2016 Election

Fox News host Howard Kurtz fact-checked former President Donald Trump’s senior adviser, Corey Lewandowski, after he falsely claimed that Democrat Hillary Clinton never conceded the 2016 presidential election.

During a Sunday interview on MediaBuzz, Kurtz highlighted concerns about potential post-election unrest if Trump loses the upcoming November vote. Lewandowski dismissed these fears.

Lewandowski then shifted focus to the aftermath of the 2016 election, implying that Democrats had not accepted Trump’s victory: “Look, the bottom line is when Donald Trump won the election in 2016, a number of Democrats refused to even acknowledge his success.”

He continued: “Hillary Clinton called him an illegitimate president dozens of times; we know that. Members of congress refused to show up at his inauguration because they said he wasn’t properly elected, it was Russian interference. The bottom line is when Donald Trump wins this election, there’ll be a peaceful transition of power, and he’ll be the 47th President of the United States.”

Kurtz was quick to counter Lewandowski’s narrative, delivering a pointed fact-check: “I do have to point out that while Hillary Clinton certainly said those things, she did concede the election the next day.”
