Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has once again raised concerns about potential Russian interference in the upcoming 2024 election.
The 75-year-old Democrat voiced her apprehensions during a recent episode of Jen Psaki's MSNBC show, stating, "the Russians have proved themselves to be quite adept at interfering, and if [Russian President Vladimir Putin] has a chance, he'll do it again."
Clinton has previously suggested that Russian intelligence services were responsible for the 2016 Democratic National Committee leak, which exposed an internal effort to sideline her then-opponent, Senator Bernie Sanders. This claim, despite being contested, paved the way for a broader narrative of Russian interference that dogged former President Donald Trump throughout his tenure.
However, reports by special counsels Robert Mueller and John Durham found no substantial evidence of Russian collusion, contradicting Clinton's assertions and those propagated by liberal media outlets.
Further analysis indicated that any foreign interference was likely negligible, excluding the foreign-sourced Steele dossier compiled for the Clinton campaign, which Democrats effectively utilized.
Despite these findings, Clinton and her liberal media allies remain undeterred. Following an ABC News/Washington Post poll that showed Trump leading President Joe Biden by 10 points in a potential head-to-head race, Psaki asked Clinton if she feared potential Russian interference in the 2024 election.
Clinton responded, "I think we should be talking about it more because I don't think that despite all the, you know, deniers there's any doubt he interfered in our election or that he has interfered in many ways in the internal affairs of other countries, funding political parties, funding political candidates, buying off government officials in different places."
She continued, "That is his opus [sic], you know his opus [sic] operandi in the sense that he hates Democracy. He particularly hates the West and he especially hates us." Clinton further emphasized the need to educate the American public about Putin's authoritarian leadership style, highlighting his alleged actions against opposition figures, journalists, and other countries.
In addition to revisiting the disputed Russiagate narrative, Clinton suggested that the 2024 election is not merely a contest between Democrats and Republicans, but a choice between Democrats and "a kind of creeping fascism."
