Hillary Clinton Skewers Trump Administration's Signal Scandal: 'It's Just Dumb'
HuffPost
The former secretary of state asserted there is a smart way to wield power. But "the Trump approach is dumb power," she said.
Writing for The New York Times, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton railed against the “latest in a string of self-inflicted wounds” caused by President Donald Trump’s administration this week, after The Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg revealed he’d been added to a group Signal chat discussing plans to strike Yemen.
Clinton’s reaction is notable because, about a decade ago, some of the same Republicans now playing down the Signal scandal relentlessly accused her of mishandling classified information as secretary of state because she had used a private email server to send official messages.
Trump’s administration not only used a private app, Signal, to coordinate war plans — his national security adviser appears to have accidentally added a journalist to the group who then watched the planning take place.
“It’s not the hypocrisy that bothers me; it’s the stupidity,” Clinton wrote in an opinion piece published Friday titled, “Hillary Clinton: How Much Dumber Will This Get?”
“It’s just dumb,” she reiterated, adding later: “In a dangerous and complex world, it’s not enough to be strong. You must also be smart.”
