Clinton warns of October surprise that will ‘distort and pervert’ Harris
By: Lauren Irwin (The Hill)
Hillary Clinton makes Donald Trump look good.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned of an October surprise that will "distort and pervert" Vice President Harris.
"There will be concerted efforts to distort and pervert Kamala Harris, who she is, what she stands for, what she's done," Clinton said during an interview with "Firing Line" host Margaret Hoover.
She pointed to the 2016 "pizzagate" conspiracy theory that surrounded the end of her presidential campaign against Donald Trump.
"I mean, look, I mean, the crazy story about me running a child trafficking operation out of a basement of a pizzeria," Clinton said.
The comment evoked laughter from the crowd. "Pizzagate," as the child sex trafficking conspiracy became known, resulted in a North Carolina man opening fire on a Washington, D.C., pizza parlor in 2016.
"Don't laugh," Clinton told the crowd. "It was a huge story. And it got one young man in North Carolina to get in his car with his, you know, assault rifle and drove up to liberate these nonexistent children and shoot up a pizzeria in Washington, D.C."
"This is dangerous stuff. It starts online often on the dark web. It migrates. It's picked up by the pro-Trump media. It's then reported on by everybody else, which makes sure it has about 100 percent coverage, and people believe it," Clinton said.
She warned that ahead of this year's election, "the digital airwaves" will be filled with misinformation that can take on a life of its own.
Clinton argued that the press needs a "consistent narrative" about the danger that Trump poses to the country in the coming weeks. She warned that foreign actors like Russia, Iran and China may fuel disinformation on social media, seeking to influence the election.
She said she believes a story about Harris is coming. "So, I don't know what it's going to be," she said of the October surprise. "But it will be something, and we'll have to work very, very hard to make sure that it is exposed as the lie that it is."
Clinton seeking attention with yet another conspiracy theory.
Do you really believe something won’t come up that degrades Kamala and company ?
Cause they usually save so
something juicy for October.
Thus why you can thank some guys Weiner for getting Trump elected, cause that Dick trumped Trumps’ pussy grabbing comments(another October Surprise) from sinking ole 45 who had to pay of the impending Stormy, to stay alive, ha ha ha stsyin alive, till dead
She would know, she started a lie about Russian collusion to distract from her taking money from Russian plutocrats.
There actually was Russian collusion Involved.
It was the DNC that was fined for paying for dirt on Trump.
Either way, Trump was in bed with Putin not Hillary.
Even the CIA knew in the summer of 16 it was a distraction attempt by Hillary.
e DNC that was fined for paying for dirt on Trump
And so was the CLinton campaign. Amazingly, despite committing a campaign violation and filing false paperwork in Brooklyn, she wasn't indicted by the New York DA. Crazy huh? Who would have thought it.
Exactly, Hillary chose to ‘stand by her man’.
it amazes me that you “righties” can try and say and believe there is no Trump -Russia/Putin connection ?
Cause the final bi partisan report said there was
much going on between Trump and Russia, just not enough evidence to charge him, though some amongst him were found to be violating US law, and it is rather obvious , Trump was attempting to use Putin’s help to get elected.
Did you forget:
You do realize this is not the bipartisan report I was referring to, correct?
Senate Intel Releases Volume 5 of Bipartisan Russia Report
We all know that if there were even the slightest appearance of something being there the Democrats would have been frothing at the mouths. Since that didn't happen it's a tell that they didn't find a goddamn thing.
We all know that if there were even the slightest appearance of something being there the Democrats would have been frothing at the mouths. Since that didn't happen...
and you obviously did not read any of this report, after that retort.
I read it. And I agree that there was nothing found. Just because YOU think there was isn't my problem.
sounds like "your problem" would be reading comprehension to me, if you found nothing to see, that showed Trump was far from innocent of working with Russia. From his campaign manage to his Moscow Skyscraper plans, Trump was awash with Putin's henchmen and obvious influence.
So you can't really say anything aside from childish remarks. And the whole time you really expect to be taken seriously.
Again, we all know that if there were even the slightest appearance of something being there the Democrats would have been frothing at the mouths. Given that they weren't that SHOULD be an indication. Instead we saw hoax after hoax and misdemeanor charges inflated to "felonies" just to get something a few years later.
I don't see where me feeling you aren't fully comprehending the report, cause if read, it does not paint a flattering picture of Trump, should be labeled as childish remarks, but whatever. Just because there wasn't enough evidence to charge Trump, certainly doesn't mean he was innocent of everything, it just means that, not 'enough' to charge him. He LIED about Trumps potential skyscraper in Moscow and people from his campaign were charged with crimes, b ut, nothing to see here yet again, i guess....
"Distort and Pervert"?!
Oh my....
The chosen one 2.0 is doing a fine job of that all by herself.
That said, Hillary ….. still a nasty thing …..
Someone has some serious CDS.. She is completely irrelevant... No one cares what she has to say.
Sorry Frosty, not even close to the rampant TDS we’ve experienced the last five years. So there is that ….
It's the rampant Trump worship we've experienced for the last nine years that's completely out of touch with normalcy. Anyone who isn't concerned about Trump and what he represents may need to consider the possibility they've experienced a psychotic break.
Psychotic breaks? The triggered left understands that all too well since most are now chronically cuckoo. Have been for years.

Yes, psychotic breaks. What the lunatic fringe right wing thinks of as normal. It's the mental condition many of them have been living with for decades.
Right wingers are rookies when it comes to lunacy and delusion. Problem is the people who are the real lunatics are running the asylum right now and will never make the connection.
Never.
Many, if not most, right wingers are rookies when it comes to understanding and coping with reality. Well, maybe "rookies" isn't the right term. More correctly it should be "functionally incapable". Resulting from the frequency and prevalence of the above-mentioned psychotic breaks.

The October surprise is already here, courtesy of the ILA.
While they do have some good bargaining points, they have fallen back on the age old union tactic of simple greed. Sad, they could have done so much better and not screwed the country along the way.
