Hillary Clinton’s list of excuses for why she lost the election keeps getting longer.
The former secretary of state has offered up a litany of scapegoats not named Hillary Clinton for her loss. She has already blamed her loss on “misogyny,” former FBI Director James Comey and WikiLeaks. Her aides have blamed “white supremacy” and the media. Now, Clinton is adding to the list.
Clinton blamed alleged voter suppression for her loss during an interview with New York magazine published on Friday. Clinton, citing no evidence to support her claims, said that the alleged voter suppression was especially bad in Wisconsin, where low turnout hurt her campaign.
Left unmentioned, however, is the fact that Clinton virtually ignored Wisconsin during the general election. Clinton didn’t set foot in Wisconsin once during her general election campaign, and ran almost no campaign ads until shortly before the election.
Clinton claimed that “what I was doing was working. I would have won had I not been subjected to the unprecedented attacks by Comey and the Russians, aided and abetted by the suppression of the vote, particularly in Wisconsin.”
While searching for explanations after the election, some progressives seized on “voter suppression” — in the form of voter ID laws — as a reason Trump won. Even liberal news sources are having a tough time buying that line of reasoning, however. Reliably liberal fact-checker Snopes ruled the claim “unproven” because there was no evidence to support it, while liberal website Vox flat out rejected it.
Clinton’s blaming of voter suppression doesn’t appear to be an off-the-cuff remark.
The largest pro-Clinton super PAC during the 2016 election, Priorities USA, produced an “analysis” of voter turnout that claimed voter suppression had a “significant impact” on the electoral outcome.
Cha-ching! He did. They've already found 7 million registrations that appeared simultaneously in two states. Looks like some computer hackery was going on from the DNC. Likely she didn't win anywhere NEAR the votes claimed.
Before the election there were numerous stories about the lack of enthusiasm for Hillary amongst the African-American community. They didn’t come out to vote because she is an unlikable witch, not because their votes were ‘suppressed’.
Even if this worthless bitch had won Wisconsin, she STILL would have lost the election.
In spite of the best efforts of Hitlery and her demented minions to steal the election through fraud, she lost the election anyway because she is an unlikeable, corrupt piece of garbage and millions of voters realized this factoid.
