United States: On Monday, former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton demanded that Americans who engage in speech resembling Russian propaganda be “criminally charged.”
“In an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, I also believe that there are Americans involved in this type of propaganda, and whether they should be charged civilly or even criminally is something that would be a better deterrent,” she said, according to reports.
Does this sound familiar?
Hillary Clinton: ‘Russia, Russia, Russia!’
Maddow discussed recent actions by the Biden-Harris Justice and State Departments against Russians allegedly spreading propaganda in favor of Russia through a Tennessee-based, Canadian-owned media corporation that collaborated with popular podcasters among Independent and Republican listeners.
Additionally, the Biden administration charged that Russian organizations attempted to sway the 2024 presidential election by using websites that appeared to be trustworthy news sources.
The podcasters have been accused by the left of being Russian spies simply because they did not support the Ukraine War.
However, the Justice Department stated in an indictment that they were deceived and unaware that the Tennessee-based corporation they were collaborating with was also receiving funding from Russia, as per reports.
Clinton demanded that Americans be prosecuted for “parrot[ing] Russian talking points,” which would apply to anyone who expressed ideas that were unjustly assumed to be Russian propaganda.
Additionally, Clinton charged that Republican lawmakers were repeating “Russian talking points” while they went “to the floor of Congress.”
And, of course, Clinton continues spewing her own hate speech, saying Trump’s politics of “hate and division” put the United States’ security in danger.
What are your thoughts on Clinton saying Americans should be “criminally charged” for free speech?
