In a promotional video deemed dangerous and hypocritical by conservatives, two-time Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is claiming the GOP is “literally” planning to steal the election from voters in 2024.
“Right-wing extremists already have a plan to literally steal the next presidential election and they’re not making a secret of it,” she said in the video. “The right-wing-controlled Supreme Court may be poised to rule on giving state legislatures — yes, you heard me that correctly — state legislatures the power to overturn presidential elections.”
Clinton said this while addressing “indivisibles,” members of a far-left political group who have been focused on defeating former President Donald Trump since 2016. She uploaded the video on social media last week.
My message for @indivisibleteam, and everyone else:
We can't save our democracy with action only on the big-time, big-name races.
We have to save democracy at the state level, too. Join us. https://t.co/3ohzw7jrRKpic.twitter.com/JJOmVAg2V7

It appears Clinton is referring to the Supreme Court case, Moore v. Harper, which could give state legislatures more power when it comes to regulating and determining federal elections.
“Just think, the 2024 presidential election could be decided not by the popular vote, or even by the anachronistic Electoral College, but by state legislatures, many of them Republican-controlled,” Clinton said.
These comments and accusations aren’t going over too well with some on social media, many of whom are pointing out Clinton’s past comments regarding election results.
Hillary Clinton has now denied the 2000 election, 2004 election, 2016 election and elections that haven’t even happened yet.

“Hillary, are you saying in advance that you won’t accept the election results? Is it because you know a red wave is coming? By the way, since you are the queen of fake dossiers and an expert in untrustworthiness, tell us how this stealing is done,” said Fox News host Jeanine Pirro.
Others are questioning why Clinton is allowed to keep her Twitter platform when Donald Trump is not.

Making claims about the Republican party is nothing new to Clinton, who has been referencing a “vast, right-wing conspiracy” since the ’90s. Some may remember the now infamous interview on “The Today Show” where Clinton referenced President Bill Clinton’s affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
“The great story here, for anybody willing to find it and write about it and explain it, is this vast right-wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for president,” Clinton said.
While at a New York fundraiser during her second run for president, Clinton said “half” of Trump supporters fit into a “basket of deplorables.”
In 2019, Clinton suggested the White House was stolen from her the first time.
“I think it’s also critical to understand that, as I’ve been telling candidates who have come to see me, you can run the best campaign, you can even become the nominee, and you can have the election stolen from you,” she said.
During an interview with CBS, Clinton directed more accusations against Trump and presumably other Republicans.
“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,” she said.
Dick Morris, a political consultant and former aide to Bill Clinton, recently predicted that former President Donald Trump would face off against Hillary Clinton one more time in 2024 and lose.
Meanwhile, Clinton told CBS last month without hesitation that she will not run for president again.
“But I’m going to do everything I can to make sure that we have a president that respects our democracy and the rule of law and upholds our institutions,” she said.
During a rally in Texas this month, Trump said that he “will probably have” to run for president again in 2024 after much speculation that he will announce a bid for a second term next month.
“It should start in the Republican Party,” Clinton went on to say on CBS. “Grow a backbone. Stand up to this guy. And heaven forbid if he gets the nomination, he needs to be defeated soundly and sent back to Mar-a-Lago.”
