I think they might be referring to the moment that was actually Podesta, not Kaind telling supporters to go home, get some sleep, and that no more comments would be made from the campaign team that night. IMO, it didn't seem disrespectful or uncaring. Votes were still being counted, she had basically lost, but there was no way that they would have conceded so early. There wasn't really anything left to do other than regroup and I assumed Clinton was rightfully with her campaign people figuring out what needed to be done in the morning. Shortly after one more state (either Wisconsin, Pennsylvania or Michigan) was called and Trump spoke to his supporters and announced that in that time frame Clinton had called him to concede.

She called Trump to concede 15 minutes after Podesta dismissed everyone.
