"And who does Clinton blame for the assassination attempts on Trump? Why, Trump, of course. Hillary claims to have reacted in “horror” to the second assassination attempt on Trump, but blamed Trump for throwing “red meat out there to get people riled up.'
"The pain of losing out on being the first female American president must be too much to bear for Hillary Clinton. Back in 2016, she was assured by everyone — her political allies, her political enemies, the media, pollsters — that she was a shoo-in to become president. To a stunned Democratic Party, to a stunned Washington political establishment, to a stunned country, to a stunned world, and to a stunned Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump won the election. Thus began a series of political and legal moves, supported and reinforced by the media, to undermine the Trump presidency even before it began. These political and legal moves consumed the Trump presidency just as they have consumed Trump’s candidacy in the 2024 presidential contest. Clinton and her media allies repeatedly said that Trump was a threat to American democracy, a dictator in waiting, and a Hitler-like authoritarian. At least two men — Thomas Matthew Crooks and now Ryan Wesley Routh — apparently took these claims to heart and tried to kill the former president. Undeterred, Hillary Clinton, the day after the second assassination attempt on Trump, took to the airwaves on MSNBC to remind everyone that Trump is a “danger to our country and the world,” and called upon her media allies to present a “consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is.”
"Clinton is promoting her latest memoir, so her appearance on MSNBC also had greed as a motive. The Clintons are always willing to make a buck — which is fine — but Hillary couldn’t limit her remarks to promoting the book, she had to warn the country — presumably including future Thomas Crooks and Ryan Rouths — that “We can’t go back and give this very dangerous man another chance to do harm to our country and the world.”
"In an interview in 2017, Clinton called President Trump a “clear and present danger to our democracy, to our institutions, to the rule of law, to the civil rights and human rights of so many Americans.” So the narrative of Donald Trump as a threat to our democracy started shortly after the 2016 election.
"Though much is made about Trump’s claim that the 2020 election was stolen or rigged, Hillary Clinton expressed similar sentiments after her loss in the 2016 election — yet the media didn’t call her an “election denier.” According to the Washington Post, she even called Trump an “illegimate president.” The 2016 election, Hillary said in an interview on the Atlantic’s podcast, “was not on the level.” Trump, she said in 2020, was a “puppet of Putin.”
