Hillary Clinton Calls Trump ‘Illegitimate President’ — Supports Impeachment
Former Secretary of State and two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has just gone one step further than simply agreeing that impeachment of Donald Trump is the right thing to do.
She has also labeled him an “illegitimate president” and intimates that Trump himself orchestrated the theft of the 2016 presidential election. “He knows” what happened, how it happened and why it happened, she said in an interview to be aired on CBS’ Sunday Morning program.
Clinton was also asked whether it bothers her that none of the current crop of Democratic candidates have come to her defense in their stump speeches and campaign rallies, while Trump and his followers still loudly chant “LOCK HER UP!”?
“No, it doesn’t kill me because he knows he’s an illegitimate president,” she answered. “I believe he understands that the many varying tactics they used, from voter suppression and voter purging to hacking to the false stories — he knows that — there were just a bunch of different reasons why the election turned out like it did.”
Clinton is by no means alone in her questioning of the legitimacy of Trump’s presidency. Jimmy Carter said pretty much the same thing back in June.
