You’d assume folks would perceive by now that bringing on Hillary Clinton to warn about alleged makes an attempt to undermine democracy is a quite self-defeating train contemplating her storied four-year historical past of denying the outcomes of the 2016 presidential election. But producers of American and abroad radio and TV speak exhibits proceed to e-book her beneath the guise of being an arbiter of kinds on the problem of election integrity and having the ability to concede gracefully.
It’s a hilarious messaging fail on so many ranges, worthy of calling out each single time, which is why we’re reporting on Clinton’s look on at this time’s “View” program, the place this very concern was mentioned. Throughout this system, the simpering co-hosts purposely goaded Clinton on the subject and nodded their heads obediently as she portrayed herself as a grand steward of what was proper and what was flawed with regards to the best way to react to election outcomes you don’t like.
Right here’s a few of what Clinton stated:
“I believe we’re at a really harmful, persevering with high-level assault on the legitimacy of our authorities and the election of our President. And clearly, our former president isn’t solely behind it, [but] he incited [the so-called “insurrection”], he inspired it and he continues to take action.
And you’ve got leaders of the Republican social gathering who’ve willingly gone alongside as if they’re members of the cult, not a political social gathering however a cult.
And their persevering with assaults on the election, their refusal to say, you understand what, we’ve counted these votes, it’s over, we’re going to maneuver on has sown a lot doubt. And then you definately mix it with the disinformation community often known as Fb and you bought a risky combine. So, sure, we’re nonetheless within the midst of a concerted, well-funded effort to undermine American democracy.”
Watch:

Trump] isn’t solely behind it, he incited it, he inspired it, and he continues to take action.” pic.twitter.com/8pERcKCG7H

To repeat for emphasis, Hillary Clinton is the final one that needs to be conducting such a lecture, and right here’s why.
Main the cost among the many Democrats who asserted the 2016 election was stolen was the failed Democratic presidential nominee herself, who proclaimed as loudly and infrequently as doable in interview after interview and speech after speech that she would have gained in a landslide had it not been for the (non-existent) Trump/Russia collusion. Mrs. Clinton was by no means challenged by the left-wing media on these claims.
In actuality, as we quickly got here to be taught in nice element after Donald Trump was elected, it was the opposite manner round. Trump gained the election regardless of the Clinton presidential marketing campaign’s coordinated makes an attempt with the out-going Obama-Biden administration to undermine not solely his marketing campaign however then his presidency as soon as he was within the Oval Workplace.
After that was 4 years of incessant blatherings from Clinton and others a couple of “stolen” election, with Democrats within the Home and Senate routinely abusing their energy by attempting to “legitimately” overturn the 2016 election by attempting to question and take away President Trump a number of occasions utilizing trumped-up fees to take action. The media lovingly went together with these campaigns by means of amplifying the fees and attempting so as to add to them with one pretend information report after one other.
Additional, Clinton even stated in an interview just a few months earlier than the 2020 election that in no way ought to Joe Biden concede it:

Merely put, the receipts don’t lie. If Hillary Clinton and her fellow Democrats together with “The View” co-hosts and Stacey “I can’t concede the 2018 gubernatorial race” Abrams need to warn concerning the risks of a political chief “undermining democracy” by questioning election outcomes, they may need to preserve some mirrors helpful, as a result of the pot is certainly calling the kettle black right here, and in the event that they didn’t need election outcomes questioned at such a excessive stage then perhaps they shouldn’t have performed every little thing they may to undermine a authentic one themselves for now-five years straight.
