During a recent appearance on Pod Save America, former Secretary of State and two-time presidential candidate Hillary Clinton shared her thoughts on the recent indictment of former President Donald Trump —and the people defending him.
According to The Washington Examiner, Clinton was asked about Republicans who claim she got off “scot-free” despite facing similar allegations.
“I do think it’s odd, let’s just say, to the point of being absurd, how that is their only response,” she said. “You know, they refuse to read the indictment. They refuse to engage with the facts.”
“What they refuse to admit is, you know, this is on a track about [Trump], not about anybody else,” she said. “No matter how much they try to confuse people and how much they try to, you know, raise extraneous issues … it’s going to be fascinating, I guess, in a bizarre and sad way, to watch them spin themselves up.”
Clinton pointed to conservative pundits and programs as an example.
“Their efforts to defend this man are truly beyond anything that I ever thought possible in our country,” according to Clinton. “I mean, it is so profoundly disturbing how this could have been the break.”
Clinton says the GOP had a chance to distance itself from Trump following the indictments —but chose not to go that way.
“But no, they’re all in again,” Clinton said. “That’s why the psychology of this is so hard for me to fully grasp.”
