Hillary Clinton: Casting doubt on 2020 election is 'doing Putin's work'


BY DOMINICK MASTRANGELO - 06/16/21 08:51 AM EDT

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday said that elected officials who have suggested the 2020 presidential election was not conducted fairly are aiding Russian President Vladimir Putin's effort to undermine America.

“We never thought we had to worry about domestic enemies. We never thought we had to worry about people who didn't believe in our democracy," Clinton said during an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

“And sadly, what we've seen over the last four years and particularly since the election is that we have people in our own country who are doing Putin's work.”

Clinton said some may be helping Putin cast doubt on democracy in a "witting or unwitting" way.

They love the "bad ass" factor that Putin displays. I can't tell you how many times I have seen the photo of Putin, shirtless, on a horse, looking all "Gym'd up," on the right wing forums. Many rightists need an all powerful father figures like Trump, Putin and or God who wield mighty swords and keep them under their protection. It seems to stem from their feelings of personal impotence and inadequacy.
