Tom Friedman on Russian Hacks Helping Trump: ‘I Believe It Was an Act of War’
RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BLITZER: "Was the election of Donald Trump on that date in November really comparable to an act of war?"
FRIEDMAN: "I believe it was, wolf. I think that it's one of the most dangerous and profound things that's happened to our country certainly in my lifetime. Because what is it that actually drishs -- distinguishes? What are the crown jewels, it's the way we rotate power, our institution, constitution, how we conduct elections. An outside power, according to our top intelligence agencies and the FBI intervened in this election. I believe Donald Trump is a legitimate president because I believe there is a lot of things that went into his victory and I don't think you can isolate the cyberattack and the democratic Party and Hillary Clinton and say that's the only reason he got elected."
