Thursday on MSNBC, former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said President Donald Trump must be defeated in November because he was a “clear and present danger” to our freedoms. When asked about former officials no longer supporting Trump, Clinton said, “I think if we can somehow get the message across that these men and they’re predominantly men, not exclusively, have served our country in peace and war. They have been in that situation room. They have been confronted with the kind of really difficult choices that a president or a national security adviser or joint...

Hey kids, it's time for another edition of, "Clintons Say the Darnedest Things". Hillary Clinton warned her audience of the rise of fascism in America during an alumnae event held at Wellesley College. “I think Madeline [Albright]'s book is really well-named: "Fascism: A Warning," Clinton said. “And the idea that 'oh, it can’t happen here' is just old-fashioned, my friends.” “The demagoguery, the appeal to the crowd, the very clever use of symbols, the intimidation, verbal and physical,” she listed, “this is a classic pattern. There is nothing new about it, it's just different means of messages being delivered." Fascism...

It’s been three years now. And Hillary Clinton has shown she still cannot move on from her epic 2016 defeat. She wrote a book about it, “What Happened.” She went on a whine tour for it. She bashed the FBI, the media, the Democratic National Committee, Bernie Sanders, Russia, and James Comey—anyone but herself. And the time she did take responsibility—put that in air quotes—she always had a “but,” which would lead to some tangent where she would lay blame at someone else. Thank God, she’s not president. And she never will be. So, what’s this two-time presidential loser saying...

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said on Saturday that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report clearly showed that her 2016 opponent, President Trump, obstructed justice during the Russia investigation. "If you take the time to read the Mueller report, actually read it ... you come to two inescapable conclusions," she said while speaking at her alma mater Wellesley College. Those conclusions, she said, were that Russia conducted a "sweeping" attempt to interfere in the 2016 election and that "obstruction of justice occurred." "You cannot read the report, chapter and verse, fact after fact, without reaching those conclusions," she said, according...

Without saying his name, Hillary Clinton assailed President Donald Trump during a commencement speech in New York on Wednesday, saying the president should be held accountable for defying Congress and ignoring special counsel Robert Mueller's findings on Russian attempts to interfere in U.S. elections. Clinton's bluntly political speech to members of the class of 2019 at Hunter College was delivered at Madison Square Garden hours after Mueller made his first public comments about his probe into election meddling.

Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton implied that the potential confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court would bring the United States back to the times of slavery during a speech on Friday. “I used to worry that they wanted to turn the clock back to the 1950s.

Stakes could not be higher,” she said during her speech at the American Federation of Teachers. “This nomination holds out the threat of devastating consequences for workers’ rights, civil rights, LGBT rights, women’s rights, including...

Last week, over 800 of our supporters gathered in San Francisco for Giffords Law Center’s 25th Anniversary Dinner. It was simply an incredible evening—one that renewed our spirit and resolve and reminded us why we fight each day for a safer America, no matter what we’re up against. We looked back at our organization’s history, paid tribute to the lives lost in the 101 California shooting, and looked forward to the promise of the next generation.

Repeat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is heaping more criticism on America's electoral college, this time during an appearance at Oxford in the United Kingdom. Clinton, who lost the 2016 presidential campaign with 232 electoral votes to President Trump's 306, has previously called for scrapping America's system of electing presidents, instead relying on a direct one-person, one-vote election. The Democrat was lamenting the power of populism when the subject came up: “Populists can stay in power by mobilizing a fervent base. Now, there are many other lessons like this. Louise mentioned my personal experience with winning 3 million more votes, but...

Hillary Clinton: 'It is the beginning of the end of freedom' It is the beginning of the end of freedom." Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton says Russian interference in the U.S. election helped "fan the flames of division within our society".

Hillary Clinton was back in the news last week thanks to a Sunday speech at the PEN America World Voices Festival, which sounded custom-designed to give Donald Trump a nosebleed. All told, her PEN performance was cool, crisp, and destined to make news -which it did. Which left me wondering: Isn’t there someone who can convince this accomplished, inspiring, barrier-breaking superwoman to stop whining about 2016? Someone? Anyone? Yes, what happened to Clinton was awful. She did not merely lose the presidency, she lost it to an opponent singularly unqualified to hold the office. But when it comes to the...

Hillary Clinton took some more jabs at the media on Sunday, blaming negative coverage for playing a role in her loss in 2016. Clinton made her comments at the Pen America World Voices Festival and said that during her campaign, "the mainstream political coverage was influenced by the right-wing media ecosystem." She pointed to a "false equivalency" in the media's coverage, originally noted by Harvard University professor Thomas Patterson. Clinton also said that negative news imparted by election coverage "has had a leveling effect that opens the doors to charlatans."(snip) Clinton also said that media coverage has been more "straightforward"...
