October 28: Day of Infamy

Last May, Hillary Clinton sat down with Christiane Amanpour at the Women for Women International Luncheon and told her that but for James Comey's letter of October 28, 2016, she probably would have won the election, a theory she fleshes out in her memoir What Happened.



Hillary supporters had a new date to add to the list of days that we will never forget as October 28 joined May 31, 2008 - the day the Democratic Party Rules and Bylaws Committee altered the delegate count in the wake of the primaries that year.

So here we are a year later. CNN chose to commemorate the day with a chronological look at social media one year ago today for the record of how attitudes changed over the course of the day.
