Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton recently took a controversial jab at Donald Trump in a social media post to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day invasion in Normandy, France. According to Clinton, former President Trump represents a threat to Democracy to a similar degree to Adolf Hitler.
In a message shared on X, Clinton seemingly implied, as many of the left incessantly do, that Democracy is at stake in the 2024 presidential election. The former Secretary of State under the Obama administration suggested that American voters were fighting for the American political process, similar to how soldiers were during World War II. “Eighty years ago today, thousands of brave Americans fought to protect democracy on the shores of Normandy,” Clinton wrote in her post. “This November, all we have to do is vote.”
However, this isn’t the first time Clinton has compared Trump to the 20th-century German fascist. Last month, Clinton shared a screenshot of an article on X titled “Trump’s social media account shares a campaign video with a headline about a “unified Reich.” Hillary captioned the post, “Take a look at a Grifter Hitler over here.”
Furthermore, during an appearance on ABC’s “The View” last year, Clinton also likened Trump to Hitler when she suggested the National Socialist leader was “duly elected,” warning about the implications of a Trump victory in 2024. Clinton claimed it “would be the end of our country as we know it,” if Trump regains the White House.
She told the panelists on the talk show, “I think he would be even worse now, because he was somewhat restrained, believe it or not, in the first term, by people who he hired because he thought they would go along with him and they stood up to him. And so now he’s going to — if he were ever near the Oval Office again — find people who have no principles, no conscience, who are totally tied to his fortune… When I was secretary of state, I used to talk about ‘one and done.’ What I meant by that is that people would get legitimately elected, and then they would try to do away with elections and do away with opposition and do away with a free press.”
She continued, “Hitler was duly elected right? And so, all of a sudden, somebody with those tendencies, the dictatorial, authoritarian tendencies, would be like, ‘Oh, OK, we’re going to shut this down, we’re going to throw these people in jail,’ and they didn’t usually telegraph that. Trump is telling us what he intends to do.”
Steven Cheung, a spokesman for the Trump campaign, called out Clinton in a statement to Fox News Digital. He suggested that Clinton is merely trying to “stay relevant” after losing to Trump in the 2016 election. “Hillary Clinton is a stone-cold loser who presided over the horrific Benghazi debacle that led to the death of Americans,” Cheung stated. “Nobody takes Hillary seriously because it’s clear she is beclowning herself in order to stay relevant after President Trump crushed her in 2016.” Watch a recent clip of Hillary Clinton sounding off on undecided voters below:
