They’re written in code that is primarily directed to Republican leaders.
Of course, we’re speaking of the flag-burning threat tweet, and of the boast tweet by Trump, in which he claimed that he won the popular vote. I won’t be a spoiler, but I will say that this is simultaneously one of the most intriguing, yet laugh-free segments ever from Conan O’Brien…It’s frankly terrifying.
