Hillary Clinton skewered Fox News’ focus on her, almost a year after the presidential election, in a speech to the Human Rights Campaign at its national dinner on Saturday.
The news network has focused on her campaign’s role in financing the opposition research that led to the infamous Russian dossier, as well as a host of other storylines, even as other organizations report on word that Special Counsel Robert Mueller has filed the first charges in his investigation into the 2016 election.
After quipping that she would have preferred to be living closer to this year’s HRC dinner, Clinton said, “It does strike me that in the last few days that at least Fox News seems to think that’s where I live, in the White House, because they spend a disproportionate amount of time talking about impeaching me. So look, if they want to make a trade, I’d be more than willing.
Her comments drew big cheers from the crowd of about 3,600 people. HRC is the largest LGBTQ rights organization in the country.
Clinton also warned of the Trump administration’s agenda, as well as of the Senate candidacy of Roy Moore in Alabama.
“When the Republican Senate candidate in Alabama supports the idea that homosexuality should be criminalized, and refuses to say whether or not he thinks that LGBT people should be executed, Americans of every party, of any decency, Democrats. Republicans and independent should …condemn him and those views,” she said. “And that includes the President, the Senate majority leader, the Speaker of the House and every single elected official who endorses a candidate with those views should be held accountable.”
President Donald Trump endorsed Moore’s rival in the Republican primary, Luther Strange, but since Moore’s victory has praised him at times. More recently, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), the Senate majority whip, endorsed Moore.
Clinton urged those in the crowd to continue to press on even as the administration has taken steps to roll back LGBTQ rights. Trump tweeted earlier this year that transgender members of the military would be banned from service, although it is unclear how the Pentagon will handle those currently serving.
“It is just wrong that in 2017 you can lose your job, lose your home, or if this administration gets its way, be denied a wedding cake simply because of who you are and who you love,” Clinton said.
Also speaking at the event was HRC president Chad Griffin, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and Khizr Khan. Honorees included actress Uzo Aduba and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, while DNCE performed.
I cant wait for the day that karma gets this woman I really do..seeing her in a prison jumpsuit will make me smile
Why is the criminal BEOTCH out giving public speeches.
She BELONGS in jail.
What a laugh....so the dossier was a good thing...cuz it was "Opposition Research".
But Donald Jr. in a meeting at Trump Tower, expecting "Opposition Research" from a Russian lobbyist was "treason" according to the Dems.
Cant spell Hellary without H-E- double heLL.
Sounds a lot like the Trump hates gays myth to me.
Will this country ever rid itself of these grifters?
I’m sick of Bill and Hillary.
Logically, she gets picked up tomorrow per possible indictment?. Maybe that will finally shut her the F up! My Lord she really really needs to quiet down. Most of what she says is irrational delusional or just plain embarrassing
Clinton/Flake in 2020!
Hillary is helping elect Judge Roy Moore and she and Dims are too dumb to know it. Amazing.
It’s going to be a sad day for Republicans when she has to avoid extradition in Qatar
I posted before that I believe all the dirt being released against Hillary is coming from other Dims that want her and bill gone for good. I have no doubt there are factions in the Dim party that hate hillary and bill as many on the right.
That woman thinks she is untouchable .
Boy is she going to be surprised one day .
She has a lot nerve .
She’s out whipping up hate and violence from her followers.
Some criminals are more equal than others.
Karma will get her like the dogs that devoured Queen Jezabel.
I've said this on a number of threads over the years but - we have Trent Lott and the other spineless Pubbies to thank for keeping the Clinton's and Obama's in our lives. If they had done their job and removed Clintigula from office after his impeachment - he and Hillary would have slunk back under the rocks they came out from and probably would have negated Obama's rise as well.
HRC: Human Rights Campaign AND Hillary Rodham Clinton’s initials....one’s a faggie empowerment group and the other’s a fag hag & a faggie.
Our ruling elites.....don’t believe it? Just ask ‘em.
Sure, she’s totally disgusting.
And now she’s HELPING us —she is our ALLY, as is Nancy.
I hope Hillary keeps screaming her head off and Nan keeps freezing and fumbling.
Can’t wait for the midterms.
