Hillary Clinton Suggests Trump Wants To ‘Kill His Opposition’

Hillary Clinton suggested her onetime political rival, former President Donald Trump, wants to “kill his opposition” because of his purported affinity for “strongmen” leaders such as Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“We haven’t talked much about the international arena, but, you know, his bromance with Putin,” said Clinton, who served as U.S. secretary of state and U.S. senator, during a podcast released last week.

“And it was actually called that I think by the former prime minister of Australia, who said he saw Trump with Putin and Trump was like, you know, just gaga over Putin because Putin does what he would like to do: kill his opposition, imprison his opposition, drive, you know, journalists and others into exile, rule without any check or balance.”

“That’s what Trump really wants,” Clinton added. “And so we have to be very conscious of how he sees the world because, in that world, he only sees strongmen leaders. He sees Putin, he sees [Chinese leader Xi Jinping], he sees Kim Jong Un in North Korea. Those are the people he is modeling himself after, and we’ve been down this road in our world history. We sure don’t want to go down that again.”

The interview took place on the “Defending Democracy” podcast hosted by Marc Elias, who served as the lawyer who directed funding from Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and Democratic National Committee that went toward British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s now-discredited dossier that contained allegations of a conspiracy between Trump and Russia.

Running with the “Russiagate” narrative, which allegedly was the opposite of what some U.S. intelligence information showed, Clinton said one of the reasons Putin “went after” her is “because he knew I would deal with him in an appropriate way and Trump would basically do whatever he wanted.” She added, “It’s really important to think about what could happen to our world with Trump back in the White House,” adding later that it was a “very scary prospect.”

Trump is running for re-election as the presumptive GOP nominee after his major primary rivals dropped out and he garnered enough delegates to clinch the party’s nomination. He is poised for a 2020 rematch against President Joe Biden in the general election. However, this year’s contest has a wild card with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. running as an independent.

She’s nasty.

That’s why her health plan was not accepted and why she lost to Obama.

If a DemocRat accuses you of wanting to do something, it’s because they are already doing it.

Anybody here notice lately that in order for the MSM to print her stupid remarks they have to be more outlandish and outrageous each time? That just shows no one really cares what she says anymore if you ask me.

“Putin...I would deal with him in an appropriate way”

For a woman who believes in equality, what makes you think you can push people like Putin around?

He’s even nastier and more ruthless than you.

When will we see elites charged, prosecuted and punished for slander and libel, which are criminal offenses?

If slander and libel laws were applied, 90% of the corporate news talking heads and 90% of mostly democrat elites and politicians - would be in prison.

A Congress person can say anything they wish on the floor of the House or Senate without fear of legal retribution. They can even call you a bad name..........................

When it comes to persecuting the opposition, Trump is an amateur compared to the Clintons.

I disagree with this law.

In any case, Hillary and other elites and corporate news hosts are not in Congress.
