Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton claimed Donald Trump engaged in a “rigged game” to try and steal the 2020 election and predicted a victory for him in 2024 would be the “end of democracy.”
Clinton, who heretofore has suggested casting any doubt on election results is in itself the end of democracy as we know it, made the comments in a wide-ranging interview during the Financial Times Weekend Festival in Washington, DC over the weekend.
The interviewer, Financial Times editor Edward Luce, first asked what the future held for America if Trump wins in 2024.
“If in some scenario that was to happen, it would be the end of democracy in the United States, it would be the end of Ukraine,” she hysterically replied.
“You know, he will pull us out of NATO if he wins again. And just like he pulled us out of the Iran deal, he pulled us out of the Paris Accords,” she added.
Scrapping NATO, the Iran deal, and the Paris Accords, and ending the US taxpayer-funded war in Ukraine sounds like a decent list of reasons we should all vote for Trump.
Tucked away in Hillary Clinton’s Financial Times interview are comments about the 2020 election that, had they been uttered by Trump, would have earned universal corrective fact-checks and condemnation for casting doubt on the integrity of elections in America.
The two-time presidential election loser began by railing against the Electoral College, blaming the system implemented by our Founding Fathers for her loss.
“He (Trump) is so angry that every one of their maneuvers to win the Electoral College … And remember, the Electoral College, is a terrible anachronism that, you know, has caused like, you know, people like me who win the popular vote not to be president,” she claimed. “But that’s beside the point.”
She reiterated bitterness over winning the popular vote while losing the electoral vote, something she said cost her victory even though Biden managed to pull it out in 2020.
And that’s when she ranted about a “rigged” election.
Clinton claimed she had sources tell her that Trump and his family thought they had Georgia and Arizona “totally set” in 2020.
“They had been, you know, working hand in hand with Republican governors and legislatures to limit the vote as much as they possibly could,” she continued. “And they certainly, you know, thought that Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania were, you know, potential opportunities for them.”
“So, he is angry because his … His game failed,” Clinton said. “His rigged game to steal the election.”
“I mean, you can always tell what Trump is really doing because he will accuse somebody else of doing it. It’s projection, unlike anything I’ve seen in public life.”
A more ironic statement has never been uttered in the history of humanity.
You can watch the whole interview with the Financial Times below:
It’s odd hearing Hillary Clinton complain about a “rigged” election when she was the beneficiary of a “rigged” primary in 2016.
Senator Bernie Sanders, you see, claimed the 2016 nomination was stolen from him by a system “rigged” to favor Clinton. Senator Elizabeth Warren also claimed the Democratic party “rigged” its primary for Clinton.
Clinton, it seems, is doing the actual projecting.
Of course, even after having the primary “rigged” in her favor, she spent years complaining that the general election that year was stolen from her by the Russians and anybody else she could point a finger at.
“I was the candidate that they basically stole an election from,” she said.
Hillary tells @karaswisher "So there is an air of illegitimacy that surrounds Trump’s presidency, and that just infuriates them....Because I was the candidate that they basically stole an election from." https://t.co/NovSU9xxyo

In fact, there was nobody more prominent in casting doubt on US elections than Hillary Clinton circa 2016-2020.
In her interview with the Financial Times, Clinton also raised eyebrows by suggesting President Joe Biden’s age is a legitimate issue for voters.
Hillary Clinton tosses Biden Regime down the stairs when asked if Biden is too old:
"His age is an issue and people have every right to consider it."

Luce pointed out that a recent video shows Biden almost slipping down another set of stairs, something he referred to as a “heart-stopping moment.”

While Biden is seemingly always losing battles to stairs, Hillary contends that these things happen to people of all ages.
“It’s a concern for anyone,” she replied. “We’ve had presidents who had fallen before who were a lot younger, and people didn’t go into heart palpitations.”
“But his age is an issue, and people have every right to consider it.”
