Hillary Clinton took a veiled swipe at President Trump and urged Americans to defend democracy, a calculated remark likely referencing her 2016 loss, during a eulogy for the late Elijah Cummings.
Trump must truly haunt this woman’s nightmares.
The former Secretary of State praised Cummings as a “great man, moral leader, and a friend,” while equating him to the biblical prophet Elijah.
“Our Elijah, like the prophet, could call down fire from heaven,” Clinton gracefully said. “But he also prayed and worked for healing. He weathered storms and earthquakes but never lost his faith.”
All well and good until Trump, who is living rent-free in her head, became a not-so-subtle target.
“Like that Old Testament prophet,” she announced, “he stood against corrupt leadership of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel.”
Cummings played a consistent and integral role as chair of the House Oversight Committee in investigating the President.
Calls For Defense of Democracy
Look, we’re not going to go too far in-depth on a day when Cummings is being remembered, but the ‘stand against corruption’ label is a bit of a stretch for somebody who served as a rubber stamp for Barack Obama’s corruption.
When she finished commenting on the man who is sitting in the Oval Office, what she genuinely thinks is her rightful place, Hillary pivoted to urging memorial guests to defend democracy.
Clinton used the late Democrat congressman’s own words to offer a forceful defense.
“Toward the end of his life, he said, ‘I am begging the American people to pay attention to what is going on, because if you want to have a democracy intact for your children, and your children’s children, and generations yet unborn, we have got to guard this moment,'” she said.
Clinton went on, saying: “‘When we are dancing with the angels, the question will be asked,’ he said, ‘In 2019, what did we do to make sure we kept our democracy intact?'”
These words were coming from a woman who rigged the 2016 primary against her opponent, Bernie Sanders, then proceeded to deny for years that she lost the general election, something she once claimed was a “direct threat to democracy.”
Bitter Hillary
Earlier this year, Clinton spoke at an event titled ‘In Defense of American Democracy,’ where she promptly claimed the 2016 election was stolen from her due to voter suppression.
“Officials made every excuse in the books to prevent people from voting,” Clinton claimed without evidence.
“You can run the best campaign and have the best plans and get the nomination and win the popular vote and you can lose the Electoral College and therefore the election,” she added.

Clinton, of course, famously said prior to the last presidential election – when she thought she was going to win – that refusing to accept the results is “a direct threat to our democracy.”
Here she is, still whining about the election, still whining about President Trump, three years later and in the middle of a man’s funeral service.
Is it any wonder the President has called her “crazy”?
He was a crook and criminal. May he rot in hell.
You beat me to that. Yep. "We will win! We will win!" as she's leaning on the coffin. Gone to that great stuffed ballot box in the sky...
I will raise a toast when HRC is draped in a (unfortunately) flag draped coffin and people pretend she was somebody.
Did somebody die?
Nancy Pelosi’s brother died last week.
She’ll be dancing with devils......................
She’s running.
Like the Paul Wellstone funeral
She’s a ‘no class’ hog!
ISWYDT.....................
Bitch gotta bitch
Obama sounded like he did his version, the few seconds I heard of him.
Did he totally ignore and avoid Biden, like I'm sure Biden requested :)
Hmmmm, just what could one say at the Hillary funeral?
Was this think a Wellstone all over again?
Yep!..............They can’t help themselves!.................
Thank God and Cadillac she’s gone?.......................
Americans love a winner, they hate a whiny loser.
She should read “The Paradigm” by Jonathan Cahn. He also draws parallels between both Clintons and Ahab and Jezebel. Very interesting.
Like I didn't in 2016...
‘In 2019, what did we do to make sure we kept our democracy intact?'”
Am I out of line to wonder that Cummings might have been Ft.Marcy'd?
Could her remark be interpreted as a justification, should some revelation come out?
Here's the scenario: Cummings get's cornered in the investigation ongoing. Past and present corruption is leveraged against him and he agrees to cooperate. The dems get wind of it through the sieve that is the justice department and decide to neutralize the threat.
After the smoke clears there's the problem of facing the knowledge of having done the thing, and finding a way to justify it.
So we have Hillary reminding the audience of Cummings as he used to be, what they rewarded him to be, convincing them that they too would have undertaken the act--in the interest of his good name! To preserve his good memory!
They saved Cummings from his treachery after he flipped, but before he could sully his record of loyalty by spilling the beans on them. Hell, Elijah is thanking them!
You see, they did him a great service, and when, in their subterranean glory, asked what they did, they can answer as the proud soldier-servants of the people:
"Whatever it took."
Okay, maybe I have gotten carried away? But really, did anyone have a chat with Elijah recently?
