Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told MSNBC host Rachel Maddow that former President Donald Trump is “dangerous.”
According to Clinton, the “press is still not able to cover Trump the way that they should. They careen from one outrage to the next. What was outrageous three days ago is no longer on the front pages, even though it threatens the physical safety of so many people, particularly, as you point out, immigrants that he and Vance have decided to demonize.”
“And I don’t understand why it’s so difficult for the press to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is,” she continued. “The late, great journalist Harry Evans one time said that journalists should really try to achieve objectivity. And by that, he said, I mean, they should cover ‘the object.’”
Clinton again emphasized the “danger” that Trump poses to the United States, saying, “Well, the object in this case is Donald Trump, his demagoguery, his danger to our country and the world, and stick with it.”
“You know, they were merciless about what they saw as President Biden’s problems in the debate and calling for him to withdraw. I believe Donald Trump has disqualified himself over and over and over again to be a presidential candidate, let alone a president.”
Clinton added that the United States cannot go back to the “romance with dictators that puts innocent lives at risk and puts America’s security in danger. We can’t go back and give this very dangerous man another chance to do harm to our country and the world.”
Clinton added that Americans who are engaged in “propaganda” should be “criminally charged” in some cases.
