Hillary Clinton offered one of her most direct rebukes of President Trump in months on Thursday after Trump accused her of colluding with Russia during the 2016 presidential election at his campaign rally in Pennsylvania Wednesday night.
At the rally Wednesday night, Trump told an arena of supporters that there was "collusion between Hillary, the Democrats and Russia" during the 2016 election, despite offering no evidence for his claim. An intelligence community assessment in 2017 concluded that Russia's efforts were aimed at undermining the Clinton campaign.
"There was a lot of collusion with them and Russia and lots of other people," Trump added during the rally.
"Seriously, you asked Russia to hack me on national television," Clinton responded in a tweet Thursday afternoon.
Seriously, you asked Russia to hack me on national television.

“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Trump said at the time, adding: “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”
The president has accused his former opponent of collusion with Russians before. In April, Trump quoted a Washington Post columnist who alleged that Clinton had sought compromising information on Trump from Russian sources during the campaign, which fact-checkers have found to be false.
"We already have a smoking gun about a campaign getting dirt on their opponent, it was Hillary Clinton," Trump tweeted at the time, quoting the writer. "How is it OK for Hillary Clinton to proactively seek dirt from the Russians but the Trump campaign met at the Russians request and that is bad?”
Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., responded to Clinton in his own tweet Thursday afternoon, accusing the Clinton campaign of consorting with "foreign agents" to fund the creation of Christopher Steele's unverified dossier of allegations about Trump's ties to Russia.
"You should really sit this one out," he added.
Your campaign and the DNC spent over $12,000,000.00 working with foreign agents to creat a fake dossier with them... you should really sit this one out.
Then again, keep going. Every time you talk we win. We appreciate the support.

Really? Is that an honest description for the daughter of Hubble?
He also implied that the Russians were more likely to turn them over than the Obama administration from whom they were subpoenaed.
No, that is just another lie. He suggested they COULD because of your criminality and rabid incompetence Hillary
Thank you, President Trump, for saving America from this hideous person,
This is typical of most frauds.
If you treat them as equals and joke with them professionally in dry humor, they immediately telegraph their incompetence and fraud by interpreting it as an insult and take umbrage at the humor.
If the Dems win Congress, there will no doubt be a Special Prosecutor for Jokes, probably Jimmy Kimmel or someone with an equal combination of hubris and hypocrisy.
This fat oaf and smelly, elderly criminal should be arrested for her many (and ongoing) crimes. What a nitwit. She can’t even comprehend sarcasm. Hey...go fall down some stairs or something, you putz.
Every time Hillary opens her mouth, sane people are grateful that much more that this woman is not the president.
If you read the comments section at “The Hill , it is truly scary how many incredibly stupid people are out there!
She’s gone insane.
Man, she’s really lost it.
She’s an emotionless sociopath. She doesn’t understand humor which is why she “laughs” at inappropriate times like when Gaddaffi was taken out creating a massive refugee crisis. “We came we saw he died HA HA HA HA HA HA HA”
She is now believing her own propaganda.
Does she even know what planet she is on?
At this point any normal person would graciously move to the sidelines. But TDS has severely attacked her brain.
“Hillary, stick to baking cookies....you’d be MUCH more successful!”
Given the number of people who have actually died at the hands of the Clintons, would you ever consider eating a cookie that Hlllary baked?
LOL, is she planning to run again
It was a joke.. kinda like you.
She's messed up, I hear she throws things at the TV when Bert and Ernie disagree.
Brain? What brain?
