The 2016 presidential election was seven months ago, and Hillary Clinton is still going on and on and on about her defeat. Of course, instead of blaming herself for the biggest loss in modern history, she is laying the blame on pretty much everyone else. It just doesn’t end.
Speaking at the 2017 Code Conference, with Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg, who were certainly pro-Hillary, Clinton spoke about some innane, unprovable conspiracy theories about Russia, Internet bots and hacking. Ultimately, she said the Russians and Alex Jones influenced the American voter to cast a ballot for Donald Trump.
Uh huh. Russia caused Hillary to lie. Russia caused Hillary to flip flop. Russia caused Hillary to be the typical corrupt politician. Russia caused Hillary to help destabilize two Middle Eastern nations. Russia caused Hillary to vote for the Iraq War.
Here is the most interesting quote from her talk:
“Through content farms, through an enormous investment in falsehoods, fake news, call it what you will … The other side was using content that was just flat-out false, and delivering it in a very personalized way, both sort of above the radar screen and below. And you know, look, I’m not a tech expert by any stretch of the imagination. That really influenced the information that people were relying on. And there have been some studies done since the election that if you look — let’s pick Facebook. If you look at Facebook, the vast majority of the news items posted were fake. They were connected to, as we now know, the 1,000 Russian agents who were involved in delivering those messages. They were connected to the bots that are just out of control. We see now this new information about Trump’s Twitter account being populated by millions of bots. And it was such a new experience. I understand why people on their Facebook pages would think, “Oh, Hillary Clinton did that, I did not know that. Well that’s going to affect my opinion about her.” And we did not engage in false content. We may have tried to put every piece of information in the best possible light, and explanations, but we weren’t in the same category as the other side.”
Will she ever go back into the woods? When Mitt Romney lost in 2012, he simply disappeared and barely appeared anywhere. Why can’t Hillary do the same thing? She is probably the biggest sore loser in U.S. election history.
The clip embedded below has mostly dislikes on YouTube. Did the Russians do this, too?
If you had been a little more honest, you wouldn’t be in this position now.
