During an interview \u2064promoting her new book, &#8220;Something \u2064Lost, Something\u2064 Gained,&#8221; Clinton \u2063expressed regret over Trump turning a serious incident into a political attack.

Clinton&#8217;s comments \u2062highlighted her longstanding\u2062 animosity \u200btowards\u2062 Trump, stemming from their contentious political history and her defeat in the 2016 presidential election. \u2062The article \u200breflects \u2062on Clinton&#8217;s actions and statements, suggesting that her \u200dfocus\u2063 remains on undermining Trump rather \u2062than promoting\u2062 unity in tumultuous political times.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>In a career that&rsquo;s splashed a stain across American politics for more than three decades, Hillary Clinton has rarely made herself, or her fans, look worse.<\/p>\n<p>The woman whose lies tried to destroy President Donald Trump&rsquo;s time in the White House used a public appearance Monday to blame Trump for his reaction to violent attempts to end his life.<\/p>\n<p>And her liberal audience laughed &mdash; and lapped it up.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview Monday in Washington to promote her new book, &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.simonandschuster.com\/books\/Something-Lost-Something-Gained\/Hillary-Rodham-Clinton\/9781668017234\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Something Lost, Something Gained<\/a>,&rdquo; the former first lady, secretary of state and Democratic nominee for president weighed in on Sunday&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/protesters-march-by-amy-coney-barretts-home\/\" title=\"Protesters March by Amy Coney Barrett&#039;s Home\">foiled assassination attempt<\/a> on Trump in Florida with words that offered lip service to the idea that violence has no place in politics &mdash; but then effectively accused Trump of stoking the violence himself.<\/p>\n<p>Clinton was speaking after journalist Katie Couric asked for her reaction to a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1835717973069197484?r\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media post<\/a> Trump published on Monday that declared that leftist rhetoric &ldquo;has taken politics in our Country to a whole new level of Hatred, Abuse, and Distrust.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>  <script> \t\t\t\tif( !

The former first lady, secretary of state, and Democratic presidential nominee used a public event on Monday to hold Trump accountable for his response to violent threats against him. Her liberal audience found humor in her remarks. During an interview in Washington promoting her new book, &#8220;Something Lost, Something Gained,&#8221; Clinton commented on the recent foiled assassination attempt against Trump in Florida. While she superficially acknowledged that violence is unacceptable in politics, she ultimately accused Trump of inciting such violence.<\/p>\n<p>Clinton&#8217;s comments came after journalist Katie Couric asked about Trump&#8217;s social media post criticizing leftist rhetoric for escalating hatred and distrust in politics. Although Trump&#8217;s statement is factually accurate\u2014something anyone who has been aware of current events can attest to\u2014truthfulness has never been a priority for Clinton.<\/p>\n<p>She expressed regret that Trump would politicize what she described as a serious incident involving someone stalking him: \u201cIt really does come down&#8230;to everything he talks about being centered around himself.\u201d However, the most troubling aspect was how Clinton smirked during Couric\u2019s question while the audience laughed as if they were at a comedy show rather than discussing an attempted murder.<\/p>\n<p>Clinton continued by saying that Trump fails to reach out to all Americans and dismissed this incident as another example of his shortcomings as a leader. A reasonable observer might interpret this as yet another instance of Clinton&#8217;s relentless pursuit to undermine the man who defeated her in 2016. It was indeed her campaign that initiated the Steele dossier\u2014a collection of falsehoods that fueled the &#8220;Russia collusion&#8221; narrative which plagued Trump&#8217;s presidency.<\/p>\n<p>For years now, she has been one of Trump&#8217;s fiercest critics and seems unable to move past her resentment over his unexpected victory. In light of news regarding another thwarted assassination attempt against him within two months, she chose instead to use it as fodder for mockery with her liberal audience laughing along.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he were really a leader,\u201d Clinton remarked, \u201che should be doing what he can to calm the waters,\u201d yet during her own interview on Monday, rather than fostering calmness, she ridiculed Trump\u2014the target of an assassination plot\u2014for pointing fingers at those responsible for political violence from the left.<\/p>\n<p>Hillary&#8217;s long-standing presence in American politics began when Bill won the presidency in 1992; since then she&#8217;s established herself independently within this sphere. Unfortunately for her candidacy back in 2016, this familiarity contributed significantly to her loss; decades spent demonstrating untrustworthiness and disdain towards those who disagree with her have not served well either herself or those who support her views<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2342253,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Clinton-and-Trump.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[34943,32624,32171,3634,32141],"class_list":["post-2342252","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-assassination-attempt","tag-hillary-clinton","tag-political-commentary","tag-trump","tag-victim-blaming"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Clinton-and-Trump.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2342252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2342252"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2342252\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2342253"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2342252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2342252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2342252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
