Hillary Clinton has not been seen much since the election, except up in the woods near Chappaqua in her favorite hiking sweater. Sadly, that streak ended yesterday, when she used an appearance at the retirement ceremony for Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to rail hyperbolicallyagainst “The epidemic of malicious fake news and false propaganda that flooded social media over the past year.”
“It’s now clear the so-called fake news can have real-world consequences,” Clinton warned, referencing the gunman who arrived at Comet Pizza to investigate a nonsensical conspiracy theory. “Lives are at risk—lives of ordinary people just trying to go about their days, to do their jobs, contribute to their communities….It’s imperative that leaders in both the private sector and the public sector step up to protect our democracy and innocent lives.”
Watch a snippet of the alarmist sanctimony here:
This is the classic Hillary Clinton progression toward the (often unconstitutional) government restriction of speech.
