Hillary Clinton Calls Out ‘Staggering’ GOP Hypocrisy Over Signal Scandal
HuffPost
The former Democratic presidential candidate also agreed with a controversial talk show host's take on Republicans dismissing the breach.
Hillary Clinton shredded Republicans on Wednesday for downplaying senior Trump officials’ use of third-party messaging app Signal to text about national security matters — in a group chat that included a journalist.
“The hypocrisy is staggering,” said Clinton — the subject of intense GOP criticism over her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state — in a statement shared with Glamour magazine.
The ex-Democratic presidential candidate continued, “But worse, the arrogance and incompetence puts the lives of our military men and women in danger.”
Her comments came as the Trump administration scrambles for answers to a scandal that’s led to “exploding” heads in the security and intelligence community.
On Wednesday, the White House picked apart the choice of words in the headline by The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, who was inadvertently added to the Trump officials’ group chat earlier this month.
