'To stay silent is to be complicit': Hillary Clinton questions why her former GOP colleagues won't challenge Trump

WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton expressed exasperation Friday with Republicans she previously worked with who have refused to stand up to President Donald Trump and have instead remained silent.(snip)

“I don’t understand what has happened to them,” said Clinton, who added that she keeps looking for a senator like Margaret Chase Smith, a Republican, who stood up to Joe McCarthy.

"When Russians are interfering in our election, when they’re putting bounties on American soldiers, to stay silent is to be complicit,” she said. “That’s what I don’t understand — why do they want their place in history to be tarred by this apology for Trump at every turn or the silence that marks them when they’re asked a tough question.”

Clinton said that the new Senate Intelligence Committee report about Russia, for example, “paints a very clear and damning picture” of representatives of Trump’s campaign in 2016 and representatives of the Russian government who participated in the election interference efforts. She said it’s “troubling” to hear from Trump administration intelligence officials that this foreign meddling is still going on.

Clinton said that other than Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, and a few others on some Senate votes, there has been “no consistent willingness” for these people to stand up for facts and evidence.(snip)

Clinton said she’s spoken to Joe Biden, now the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee, throughout the campaign about running against Trump. Her advice is that Biden should make sure not to let any attack go unanswered and correct lies being told. She also said that he should be prepared on the debate stage and not get dragged into Trump’s “reality show.”

Gee, if that supposed principle is true, then Hillary and the entire Democratic Party leadership are complicit in the rioting, looting, and mass, racialized criminality that is now destroying so many of America’s cities. And they are complicit in so much more through their silence and support.

Has any Democrat ever said a negative word against Obama?

"I wonder if the Clinton grandkids all have cloven hooves too?"

That, plus they were all born with tails.

No, to stay silent MEANS I DON’T AGREE WITH YOU, you corrupt battleaxe. Get lost, Hillary. Go visit your buddy Ghislaine in jail.

I believe that the dems silence on the riots, looting, vandalism, and arson makes them complicit.

To be fair, many have been silent because she's had them killed. Many of the rest are afraid she'll have them killed. Most of the rest are complicit in her crimes.

Even that thick letter “H” looks like a fat broad in a pantsuit.

Hillary is running around all giddy running her mouth like a rat who just learned that the capo he squealed on just got rubbed out. This tells me she’s certain in her mind that her party is retaking power, freeing her of fear of prosecution. Is she counting on the electoral college neutralization gambit or something even more ominous?

Careful everyone. Once Hillary has been poured out of her seizures, the voodoo lady may actually eat you

She'd better watch it. If Biden wins, he won't be the only white Demwit politician who will be liquidated.

...to stay silent is to be complicit,” she said.

What about Benghazi?

What a complicit, duplicitous bitch she is.
