Former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, “Something will happen” in October, as she compared herself to the Greek mythological figure Cassandra and launched another Russian conspiracy theory.
Clinton, in an interview with PBS’s Margaret Hoover on Sunday, called on the media to report only negative things about Donald Trump to change Americans’ minds ahead of the November 5, 2024 presidential election.
When asked the thing she can see happening in the near future that other should be taking more seriously, Clinton said:
“Well, I do think that the press needs a consistent, I mean, the press that’s not supporting Trump blatantly, very persistently, the press that’s trying to be the press, be objective, be, you know, reporting the facts.”
“The press needs a consistent narrative about the danger that Trump poses because, you know, people may still look at the danger and say, I don’t care.”
“But at least people need to be woken up and given the facts about what he has done, is saying and would do.”
“And I anticipate that, you know, something will happen in October, as it always does.”
“You know, the Russians, as I said earlier, are very active in this election. We know the Iranians are active as well. Chinese uses TikTok, or they certainly did against Biden and for Trump. I think they’re a little less pro-Trump right now.”
“So you look at where people get their information, and they get their information largely from social media. And so the campaign is doing the best job it can to combat that, combat both domestic and foreign false disinformation.”
“But I anticipate there will be a full-court press in October. The digital airwaves will be filled.”
“And why does that matter? Because the press that is pro-Trump anyway, oftentimes stories are put on digitally that then are picked up by, let’s say, at Fox and others, and then those stories are stories.”
“So the mainstream press reports on them. And so that story then takes on a life of its own.”
“There will be concerted efforts to distort and pervert Kamala Harris, who she is, what she stands for, what she’s done.”
“I mean, look, I mean, the crazy story about me running a child trafficking operation out of a basement, a pizzeria, don’t laugh. Don’t laugh. It was a huge story.”
