Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has blamed a lot of things for her 2016 loss to President Donald Trump. Hillary has accused voters of sexism, pointed the finger at former FBI Director James Comey’s investigation, and has pinned her loss on Facebook fake news sites.
Sunday, she found a new reason behind her loss: Free speech.
Telling the truth about Hillary, it seems, is to blame for all her problems.
Specifically, the twice-failed presidential candidate called controversial WikiLeaks editor and Julian Assange the “martyr of free speech” during an interview with Australia’s “4 Corners” news program. Hillary said Assange had become “a kind of nihilistic opportunist who does the bidding of a dictator,” she claimed, referencing to Russian president Vladimir Putin.
WikiLeaks sharing of her personal emails during the election certainly hurt Hillary’s campaign, which she said was “weaponized information” that shouldn’t have been shared.
The leaked emails included headline-grabbing information about her collusion with the mainstream media to rig debates, as well as evidence of an alleged conspiracy by the establishment to undermine rival Bernie Sanders’s primary bid.
Hillary says the leaks were a personal attack by Assange meant to help Trump’s campaign.
“I had a lot of history with him because I was secretary of state when WikiLeaks published a lot of very sensitive information from our State Department and our Defence Department,” she said.
“If he’s such a martyr of free speech, why doesn’t WikiLeaks ever publish anything coming out of Russia?” she asked. “You don’t see damaging, negative information coming out about the Kremlin on WikiLeaks.”
Assange took to twitter to respond, saying —
There's something wrong with Hillary Clinton. It is not just her constant lying. It is not just that she throws off menacing glares and seethes thwarted entitlement. Watch closely. Something much darker rides along with it. A cold creepiness rarely seen. https://t.co/JNw2dkXgdu
