If Hillary Clinton has conceded, that is dramatic,that is a dramatic development, Dana, and to hear the words president elect, we haven’t yet projected that — but you’re saying Clinton made a formal call to Donald Trump to concede?

Blitzer was heavily mocked for his actions on social media by viewers and canceled for his unprofessional bias towards Hilary Clinton.
