Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton gave what might be one of her last public speeches at the Capitol farewell gathering for Democratic Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid. Clinton told the assembled media that a so-called “epidemic” of “fake news” was responsible for her defeat and is afflicting Americans to the point where it’s threatening their ability to know what’s really going on the world, versus what’s merely propaganda.
Strangely, the timing of this talk about fake news coincides with an online scandal that’s been growing over possible Clinton connections to an affair known as “PizzaGate,” in which Clinton’s campaign Chairman John Podesta and his lobbyist brother Tony have been accused of being members of a Washington, D.C. pedophile ring connected to two local-area pizzerias.
Whether PizzaGate is real or not, discussion of it is covered under free speech protections of the Constitution’s First Amendment. But what Clinton would like to see is censorship put in place so that stories that are critical of her or her party’s supporters can be squelched before they’re published.
This would create a chilling precedent that could see the U.S. set on a course toward a world like the one outlined in George Orwell’s future-set novel 1984. Watch this clip to see Clinton crow about possible censorship being considered in Congress and how she’s ready to throw away Americans’ rights of free speech in order to cover up her own wrongdoings and those of others.
