Democrats have sought to make it a taboo to question elections since 2020, but Hillary Clinton seems quite comfortable doing it.
The twice-failed presidential candidate is back to spinning conspiracy theories, alleging that Republicans are “literally” plotting to “steal” the 2024 presidential election.
Clinton spins new conspiracy
In a video for a left-wing group, Clinton warned that an upcoming Supreme Court case on the scope of state legislatures’ power over elections could empower “right-wing extremists” to “overturn” the 2024 election. The thought of it is keeping her up at night, Clinton informed viewers.
“Right-wing extremists already have a plan to literally steal the next presidential election,” she said.
Speaking in that draconian style that has become so comfortable for Democrats after January 6th, Clinton said liberals must “crush the coup” and save “democracy.”
She also implied that she is prepared to reject a Republican victory in the “anachronistic Electoral College” again, like she did in 2016, when she lost the electoral vote despite winning the popular vote.
“If that happens, the 2024 presidential election could be decided not by the popular vote, or even the anachronistic Electoral College, but by state legislatures, many of them Republican-controlled.”
Oh, the irony….
These latest accusations are ironic coming from Clinton, arguably the most notorious “election denier” in American politics.
Clinton has never accepted losing the 2016 election, which she believes she was fated to win, to Donald Trump. She went to great lengths to smear Trump as a Russian agent, a phony story that dominated his presidency and which Democrats used to justify treating Trump like an illegitimate president.
“He knows he’s an illegitimate president,” she once said. “I believe he understands that the many varying tactics they used, from voter suppression and voter purging to hacking to the false stories — he knows that — there were just a bunch of different reasons why the election turned out like it did.”
But Clinton’s not alone. The same corrupt media that spent years pumping up her “collusion” smear are suddenly very worried that “election deniers” such as Arizona’s Kari Lake could rise to statewide office, with Republican momentum surging ahead of the midterm elections.
What Clinton and her allies really seem to fear is the possibility of voters choosing to put Republicans — or even Trump — back into power. You know, democratically. Maybe Clinton should begin stocking up on the boxed wine now.
