Ex-DNC official calls 'f***ing bulls**t' on Hillary Clinton's latest election defeat excuse

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton added one more excuse Wednesday as to why she lost the November election to Donald Trump, but one former DNC staffer took to Twitter after Clinton made the claim to set the record straight.

Former Democratic National Committee data director Andrew Therriault fired off the expletive-laden tweet in response to Clinton blaming the DNC's data for her surprise election loss. Clinton also blamed a variety of other factors that she claimed she had "no control over," including FBI Director James Comey, Russia, and WikiLeaks.

“I set up my campaign and we have our own data operation. I get the nomination. So I’m now the nominee of the Democratic Party," Clinton recalled at the conference Wednesday, according to the Washington Post.

Clinton then went on to criticize the party that gave her that nomination.

"I inherit nothing from the Democratic Party. I mean, it was bankrupt. It was on the verge of insolvency. Its data was mediocre to poor — nonexistent, wrong. I had to inject money into it — the DNC — to keep it going," Clinton said.

Therriault later rebutted the former nominee's claim in an expletive-laden mini tweet storm. Therriault now works as chief data officer for the city of Boston, according to his Twitter profile.

"DNC data folks: today’s accusations are f***ing bulls**t, and I hope you understand the good you did despite that nonsense," Therriault tweeted, according to the Washington Examiner.

"We will respond in due time, but for now, just realize your work was worth way more than you're being given credit for," Therriault said, according to a screenshot published by the Washington Post.

Therriault continued the mini-storm moments later. In a third tweet, he wrote: "Private mode be damned, this is too important. I'm not willing to let my people be thrown under the bus without a fight."

And in yet another deleted tweet, Therriault said the DNC's data models were not incorrect, as Clinton asserted.

"Our models never had [Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania] even close to being safe. Her [Clinton's] team thought they knew better," Theriault reportedly tweeted, according to a screenshot from Alan Cole, an economist at the conservative Tax Foundation.

All of Therriault's tweets that directly contradicted Clinton claims were later deleted.
