Two months and about a thousand excuses past Donald Trump's election as the next president of the United States, the media continues to search for a reason to delegitimize what happened on Nov. 8, grasping at any possible straw to explain how a billionaire with no political experience could have beaten Hillary Clinton. The latest reason: the Russians did it.

We need to get one thing straight: Russia did not "hack" our election. But thanks to the media's twisted narrative, a recent YouGov poll shows 52 percent of Democrats and 18 percent of Republicans actually believe the Russians hacked into our voting system and changed poll numbers in favor of Donald Trump.

False. Watch.
