To belabor the obvious: Gore didn’t concede when the election was too close to call. He did concede, though, when SCOTUS stopped the recount

Jeffrey Lord is justifying Trump's answer by citing Al Gore. It's apples and cantaloupes.

KellyAnne Conway just cited Gore’s retracted concession in 2000 as precedent for rejecting outcome
Terrible examplehttps://t.co/bht0iPy6oO

Al Gore not only accepted the result in the end, even after winning popular vote, he urged others to do the same https://t.co/bht0iPy6oO

God Jeffrey Lord is full of shit. There was an official recount in 2000. Gore let that process go forward. When it ended, he conceded.

Florida had to do a recount. Gore let it go forward. SCOTUS stopped it. When they did Gore conceded like a gentleman and a patriot.

I’m seeing a number of people saying Al Gore didn’t accept election results. That isn’t what happened. He conceded. https://t.co/5s8m9qD2QN

Trump surrogates comparing this to Gore in Florida ... where there was a recount because the vote was so close. AND, Gore conceded. #debate

CNN somehow is comparing Gore, who conceded a legitimately contested election, to Trump, who is contesting a legitimate election. Insane

1. Gore lost in the courts & conceded
2. Would Trump accept losing in court?
3. Does anyone really, truly know what Trump means anyway? https://t.co/XgRCyrFMPu

@j_guy13 No, that is *not* what he was saying. He's been claiming for weeks that the election is “rigged.” Not what Bush v Gore was about

Legally illiterate, too; 2000 was automatically caused by Florida state laws--not by Gore's refusal to accept that he was bound by them... https://t.co/fKEaDRyxKm

This is especially, profoundly wrong given Gore's grace in accepting the outcome. https://t.co/wVlWrW0T4h

To the trolls saying “Gore.” Asking for a recount in a close race is not the same as refusing to accept a result.
