Trump Denounces Protesters In Tweet, Praises Them In Another

WASHINGTON (CBS / AP) – President-elect Donald Trump seems to be having a change of heart about those protesting the election results.

Trump had denounced the protesters in a tweet late Thursday. He wrote that "professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting. Very unfair!"

But early Friday, he tweeted: "Love the fact that the small groups of protesters last night have passion for our great country. We will all come together and be proud!"
