Hillary Clinton Demands 'Criminal Penalties' for Americans to Deter 'Misinformation'
[PJMEDIA] Eight years later, having learned nothing from the epic public humiliation she suffered when her fact-free Russiagate hoax collapsed into itself with the Mueller Report, Rachel Maddow is still asserting ''election interference.'' Crooked Hillary Clinton
...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do...
is eager to assist her in her Red Scare propaganda efforts.

Ironically, Hillary is now demanding criminal prosecutions for her opponents' alleged propaganda — and not just foreign state actors, but explicitly ''Americans,'' presumably private citizens who post loosely defined ''misinformation'' on social media.

From the transcript, via Real Clear Politics (emphasis added):

Committee and the Foreign Affairs Committee and other Republicans who are currently in office have said that Republicans go to the floor of the Congress and they parrot Russian talking points.

So, I think it's important to indict the Russians, just as Mueller indicted a lot of Russians who were engaged in direct election interference and boosting Trump back in 2016. But I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda.

And whether they should be civilly or even in some cases criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence, because the Russians are unlikely, except in a very few cases, to ever stand trial in the United States.
And whether they should be civilly or even in some cases criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence, because the Russians are unlikely, except in a very few cases, to ever stand trial in the United States. They're not going to be going to a country where they can be extradited or even returning to the United States, unless they are very foolish.

So I think we need to uncover all of the connections and make it very clear that you could vote however you want, but we are not going to let adversaries, whether it is Russia, China, Iran, or anybody else, basically try to influence Americans as to how we should vote in picking our leaders.

2 So ... does that mean we can't talk about Bill Clinton's "Monicagate", "Lewinskygate", "Tailgate", "Sexgate", and "Zippergate"?

So now we have Multiple High Ranking LSD's calling for Censorship.

Now there should be no doubt that it is the New National Socialist Party that is threatening the US Bill of Rights, in their quest for rule over their minions.
