Conway first noted that the “incendiary rhetoric” propagated by the staunchest Clinton holdouts — a la former campaign spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri — are leading to death threats.

“Anytime I defend myself against these specious allegations that are now leading to death threats — so I really resent it,” she told Matthews. “Anytime I try to respond, I’m seen as ungracious.”
“‘Why are we sore winners?'” she continued. “I’m not a sore winner, I’m a winner. My guy’s a winner. He’s the next president of the United States.”

Conway added, that “this has to stop, this incendiary rhetoric of people who just can’t admit that they lost.”
“They have to stop, because it’s causing a lot of angst.”
