Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has dominated the news cycle over the past four days after igniting a country-wide effort challenging the results of the election. And yet she's making news here again with a bizarre little Twitter rant against Hillary Clinton and celebrity titsDonald Trump that has Twitter users... puzzled.
SEE ALSO: Hillary Clinton's campaign will now help Jill Stein's vote recountFirst, let's recap. Stein announced a crowdfunding effort on Wednesday to raise money for a vote recount in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, after a New York Magazinearticle suggested someone may have hacked voting machines in Wisconsin to tip that state's ballots for Trump.
That suggestion was almost immediately discredited by polling experts, but the campaign took off anyway, generating millions of dollars. It was so successful that even the Hillary Clinton campaign took notice, saying on Saturday that it would help execute the recount. Later on Saturday, Donald Trump called the effort a "scam."
Then, Stein started tweeting.

As some folks on Twitter pointed out, part of this could be Stein cashing in on her headline-making moment to get a few jabs in at the Democratic and Republican party.
I mean, strategically, what Stein is doing makes sense for her: attempting to undermine the legitimacy of both main parties.

But other parts are more odd. The Clinton campaign said Saturday morning that they were not going to pursue a recount effort on their own, and that they'll only assist in the execution of the effort now that Stein's team has begun in Wisconsin. Attacking Clinton for wanting to be a part of the recount effort, then, seems either disingenuous or ill-informed.

.@DrJillStein What are you thinking with this? Do you not understand this sort of rhetoric is one reason Trump won?

@DrJillStein Just when I was almost ready to acknowledge she was doing something good for once, she reverts to her usual assholishness. https://t.co/kN5t8ypsgr

Stein has also continually made it seem as though ballots across the country are in doubt. It is, of course, possible she has information not available to the public. But her recount effort came just after the extremely skeptical hacking allegations in Wisconsin, and there are no tangible signs of the "many questionable results" she tweeted about.
Recounts are useful even if they're not expected to generate a wildly different tally of votes. They can provide insight into minor anomalies and can make states aware of why backing up electronic voting systems is necessary. But Stein's recount campaign has so far been tinged with a sense of alarm that doesn't seem to hold up against evidence.
