NBC's Brian Williams called out Donald Trump for being an arrogant blowhard during NBC's election coverage, but there's one small problem. NBC gives Trump his biggest platform of all.
"This is, as they say, out there and getting an airing tonight, so you might as well know about it," Williams starts. "Donald Trump, who has driven well past the last exit to relevance and veered into something closer to irresponsible here, is tweeting tonight. Here's a sampling..." (Emphasis ours.)
Williams proceded to read some of these tweets, all courtesy of Mr. Trump:
Lets fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! The world is laughing at us.

This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012
Our country is now in serious and unprecedentedtrouble...like never before.

The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012
We can't let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!

There was also this Trump tweet captured below that he's since (wisely) deleted:
I think I can block you now. RT @realdonaldtrump: More votes equals a loss...revolution!

"So there, you have that. That happened," Williams concluded.
