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.
Sort of like the Haitians who were denied promised Foundation funds so that Chelsea could get her cake and gown...
Shut your fat ass up if you want to be left alone, cow lady.
I condem Micheal Moore.
Is that sufficient?
u are undoutably correct.
every D we know here either hates the Clintons or is just “sick and tired of them!” to use their wording
especially her
The witch attacks Moore. That should accrue him at least about three percent more votes.
I would imagine they’d like to see Obie go away as well.
Obammy needs to be visited by the nice ins people
I wanna know why Roy Moore was at an HRC dinner
No kidding.
Hillary Clinton mentioning decency? What a horse laugh!
For all of the treasonous acts she's performed in her lifetime, you would think her time would be up. But then again, there's Soros still alive and kicking.
She is right, I have heard her criticize Maxine Waters many times.
“seeing her in a prison jumpsuit will make me smile”
Seeing her being lowered into a grave would be cause for a National Holiday and gift giving.
You will be waiting the rest of your life. Karma, justice or whatever will always evade the Clintons. They have been getting away with murder, embezzelment, etc for over 40 years. The Trump administration has no interest in going after her either. She will continue to thrive and prosper. I dont rule out her being elected POTUS in 2020. Thats much faith I have in America these days.
I love that Hillary is out there dragging Democrats down like an oversized boat anchor. Keep talking !
Already told my bosses that if I wake up and Hillary Clinton has passed away I will be calling the entire staff to meet me at a local bar for breakfast and drinks on me.
So she advocates a Christian who loves Christ should not be persecuted for persevering in their love for Christ and His Word? This implies there should be no admonition for somebody who rejects LGBT agendas and denies them service.
Morning drinks sounds like a damned good celebration.
LOCK HER UP.
