HuffPost
The former late night host said he's "not a fan" of Donald Trump but thinks there was "no cheating" involved in the presidential election.
Jay Leno offered up his take on President-elect Donald Trump’s win over Vice President Kamala Harris, calling the Republican’s triumph “a great day for democracy.”
While appearing on Wednesday’s episode of CBS’s “The Talk” following last night’s election, the former late night host, who clarified that he is “not a fan” of Trump, shared he believes the election was “fair” and “honest.”
“The nice thing about this election is, it was fair, it was honest. OK, I was not a fan, but that’s OK, it’s the president of the United States — let’s all get together, thank you very much,” he said.
“You know, my fear is they’re going to be watching this, and there are 1,100 votes out of 300 million between, and it’s going to be name-calling about, ‘OK, here’s the answer, OK? This is the thing,’” he continued. “It was done professionally — there was no cheating. Everybody says it was honest. I mean, it’s a great day for democracy.”
