per Daily Mail UK:
'Many elites continued to hold former president Bill Clinton in high regard - despite a checkered history with women - while assuming a crude audiotape would be the end of Donald Trump,' Penn writes.
He blames the disconnect between the elite and the working class that 'led to the populist revolution of 2016 and the silent overthrow of the elite guardians', like Hillary Clinton.
Penn writes that Clinton blaming her election loss on Russian meddling led her 'elite voters' into a state of denial.
He writes: ''Today you can sit down with an impressionable elite - a Harvard-educated lawyer, for example - and they know with absolute certainty that somehow Trump was laundering money with the Russians in exchange for help in the election.
'They have no evidence for these claims and yet they 'know' it just as strongly as elites once believed the earth was flat.
'So did the Russians need money? How, when $2.4 billion was spent on the election campaign, would $100,000 worth of Facebook ads make a difference?
'It's illogical, and yet perhaps 40 per cent of those reading this paragraph have come to believe it, based on reports of completely classified un-knowable information. They just know it.'
Penn claims that while two-thirds of the country did not like either presidential candidate, it was the 'elite' liberals who led Trump into office because they thought Clinton's win was inevitable.
He writes: 'And even in the aftermath, impressionable elites remain on the edge of their seats, in a world of Russian conspiracies and James Comey missteps, still waiting for the deus ex machina to bring the tragedy of 2016 to a close.
'But these, as well as other blinders, are just ways of denying the sea change of the rebellion of 2016.'
