Curt Schilling, who was fired by ESPN in 2016 for being too conservative, addressed failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in a tweet, telling her to “STFU” over remarks she made about the January 6 hearings and to “thank the Lord” she’s not in jail.
The comments came after Clinton called January 6 a “criminal conspiracy” by Trump to overturn the election.
The latest January 6 hearings show that Trump knew he lost the election.
His own people told him he’d lost the election.
He then chose to wage a criminal conspiracy to overturn the results and prevent the peaceful transfer of power for the first time in American history.

“The latest January 6 hearings show that Trump knew he lost the election. His own people told him he’d lost the election. He then chose to wage a criminal conspiracy to overturn the results and prevent the peaceful transfer of power for the first time in American history,” Clinton tweeted.
“All that is wrong”
“You, honestly, need to STFU and thank the Lord you are not in jail,” Schilling responded. “You and your teenage groping mutant are one of the many reasons legal American citizens despise DC. You two represent ALL that is wrong with the left and with politics.”

Schilling’s point is that Clinton did exactly what she accuses Trump of doing–her campaign tried to do that in 2016 when they disseminated information about Trump that they knew might not be true (and ended up not being true).
Clinton also toured the country after losing to Trump in 2016, claiming he “stole” the election from her because she won the popular vote.
Obvious hypocrisy
Besides Schilling, several others pointed out the obvious hypocrisy of Clinton’s comments, something she seems to be completely oblivious to.
“Oh, like how you knew you lost the election in 2016 and went on to push the Russian Collusion lie?” Washington Times columnist Tim Young said.
And from Antonio Pitocco, a Republican congressional candidate from Maryland: “I’m old enough to remember when Hillary Clinton knew she lost the election in 2016 but went around the country telling everyone the election was stolen from her.”
Clinton was always too unpopular to be president, and the pushback on her comments shows people are not going to tolerate blatant hypocrisy from her of all people when she and her campaign actually broke laws trying to get into power and to destroy her opponent after the fact.
