"I think it's ridiculous. I think it's just another excuse. I don't believe it."

—Donald Trump's reaction to allegations that Russia interfered with the presidential election in order to help him win the presidency.

Why it Stinks: In the midst of reports that the CIA confirmed Russian hackers interfered with the U.S. presidential election, President-elect Donald Trump called the assertion "ridiculous" despite the fact that a bipartisan coalition of U.S. senators said on Dec. 12 that they will investigate the CIA assessment that shows Russia interfered with the election. Trump's refusal to be concerned about the potential of a foreign power trying to influence U.S. elections is stunning.
