I saw the pc with her and Schumer. Clinton was asked at the end if she thought there was any political motivation to Ridge's announcement.
She scoffed at the idea.
Your question about whether Hillary really said that the Republicans are using this terror alert for political purposes prompted me to go and do a bit more research.
What I found, to my surprise, is that the Democrats switched their play book, while I blinked.

Dems are nothing, if not hypocritical and despicable.
