Clinton appeared on MSNBC and said he was chasing people Trump and his allies viewed as political enemies.
Kamala Harris hits Donald Trump in an MSNBC interview with Rachel Madow
Former Vice President Kamala Harris has accused President Donald Trump of MSNBC’s “Rachel Madow Show” as “tyrant.”
WASHINGTON – Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called the administration’s efforts to punish President Donald Trump and his political opponents “very dangerous” to opposers in 2016.
When he appeared on MSNBC on September 24th, Clinton said Trump and his allies were “just outside the authoritarian playbook” using the power to punish the federal government’s powers to their political enemies.
The former first lady and senator of New York’s remarks come after Trump asks Attorney General Pam Bondi in a true social post to seek criminal charges against well-known critics, including former FBI director James Comey, Sen. Adam Schiff, and New York State Attorney General Letitia James.
Trump administration officials said they plan to use “all resources” available throughout the federal government to target the left-leaning organisations they claim to be promoting political violence in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
On September 17th, Walt Disney-owned ABC temporarily suspended “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” After a late-night host’s comment on Kirk’s murder, it was backlashed from Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Kerr. Kimmel returned to the talk show on September 23rd.
“Good Lord, what was said about me, a lie that was propagated. If I knew, I called the FCC chair and said, “Take this person into the air. Drive him out of my sight, in his head,” Clinton joked.
“You should not cry because you have to laugh about it. What is going on is very contrary to the principles and values of the establishment that this country has been built up,” she added. “Why was the first amendment the First Amendment? Because those who built the architecture of our incredible country understood what it was like to live under absolute power.
Clinton himself has been the target of Trump’s calls for retaliation in the past. Trump’s 2016 campaign against the then-democratic candidate against the then-president included regular campaign rally to “lock up her.”
Common causes with Jimmy Kimmel’s Ted Cruise
After Kimmel returned into the air, he said it was not his intention to “reveal the murder of a young man.” He called Trump a bully and said he wasn’t happy that ABC would pull him out of the air.
Kimmel thanked Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz. He also named Ben Shapiro, Clay Travis, Candice Owens, and Kentucky Republicans Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul as others who came to his defense.
“I’ve been grateful to Jimmy Kimmel for calling out some of the Republicans. Frankly, I got up and said, ‘Wait a second. This isn’t right. We can’t go here.’ But they’re not going to stop.
