Following demonstrations, Trump took to Twitter on Thursday, lashing out at “professional” protesters, who have been rallying against his election since Wednesday.
“Just had a very open and successful presidential election. Now professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting. Very unfair!” Trump wrote in a tweet.
Following her defeat Clinton conceded to Trump, saying that “we owe him an open mind and the chance to lead.”
“This loss hurts,” she added. “But please never stop believing that the fight for what’s right is worth it.”
