Hillary Clinton compares Trump’s Ohio event to a Nazi rally

AUSTIN, Texas Hillary Clinton likened Donald Trump's rally in Ohio last weekend to Adolf Hitler courting Nazis, a comparison that drew a sharp rebuke from a spokesman for the former president.

"I remember as a young student, you know, trying to figure out, how people get basically brought in by Hitler. How did that happen? I'd watch newsreels and I'd see this guy standing up there ranting and raving, and people shouting and raising their arms. I thought, 'What's happened to these people?'" Clinton said at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin.

"You saw the rally in Ohio the other night, Trump is there ranting and raving for more than an hour, and you have these rows of young men with their arms raised. I thought, what is going on?"

Trump hosted a rally in Youngstown, Ohio, last Saturday in support of US Senate candidate JD Vance, who is facing Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan to succeed retiring Republican Sen. Rob Portman.

Some Trump supporters in attendance raised one index finger in the air at the end of the former president's speech.

"My fellow citizens, this incredible journey were on together has only just begun, and it is time to start talking about greatness for our country again. We are one movement, one people, one family, and one glorious American nation," Trump told the crowd.

Taylor Budowich, a spokesman for Trump, accused Clinton of "using some of the most disgusting smears imaginable."

"It seems like perpetual-failed-candidate Hillary Clintons basket of deplorables has run stale, not unlike herself," Budowich told Fox News Digital in a statement. "Its pathetic, its divisive, and it is further cementing her legacy of cringe."

NEW YORK AG SUES TRUMP OVER FRAUD ALLEGATIONS

New York state Sen. Anna Kaplan, a Democrat who represents parts of Long Island, called on Americans to join her "in sharply denouncing the use of Nazi symbolism and imagery anywhere in our political process."

"Last night at a rally held by the former President, and today at a political rally held by a candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, supporters were urged to hold up their right hands in a unified salute that should shock the conscience of every American for its remarkable similarity to the 'Heil Hitler' salute used by the Nazis," Kaplan said in a statement on Sunday.

Ex-Clinton adviser: Hillary setting up 2024 presidential bid with open …

Hillary Clinton is dusting off her husbands playbook by criticizing the Biden administrations open borders to put herself in place to mount a 2024 presidential run, veteran political consultant Dick Morrissaid in a new interview.

Morris, a former aide to President Bill Clinton, said Hillary is setting herself up to enter the race as a moderate choice for Democrats in two years for what would be her third shot at the White House.

I see more and more signs that Hillarys going to run, Morris told John Catsimatidis on his WABC 770 AM radio show in an interview that aired Sunday, noting that she has been remarking that Americans do not believe in open borders.

These are all signals that she is going to be the moderate candidate for president. Shes going to say after the election, See, the left cost us the House and the Senate. If we stay with a left-wing candidate in 2024, were going to lose the White House. Im the only one who will tack to the center and give us a chance at victory, Morris said.

Morris said hes aware of the strategy shes employing because its the strategy I designed for Bill Clinton in 1992 when he won the Democratic nomination.

Hillary is just dusting off Bills playbook that I wrote for him and applying it herself this year, he said.

The former secretary of state and senator from New York during an interview on MSNBC last month called out Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for flying migrants from Texas to Marthas Vineyard, alleging the Republican was engaging in human trafficking.

So many other Americans I happen to believe still the majority of Americans are good-hearted and generous and when people end up on their doorstep in need, theyre going to respond. Theyll feed them and house them and the kids in the AP Spanish class will be let out of high school so they can go and translate. Thats the kind of American spirit that we try to celebrate at the Clinton Global Initiative, she said on MSNBC on Sept. 16, adding nobody wants open borders who has any idea of how government and countries work.

Morris was building on comments he made to Catsimatidis on last weeks show when he predicted that Democrats will ditch President Biden in favor of Clinton over fears a more far-left candidate could end up nominated.

Once Biden pulls out, the polling will show that the Democrats are leaning toward some crazy radical like [California Gov.] Gavin Newson, [Vermont Sen.] Bernie Sanders. Maybeeven AOCherself, Morris said, referring to progressive lightning rod Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.

Thats going to drive the Democratic Party leaders to go to Hillary and say, Hey look. Please run again. We need you to save us from the crazy left, Morris said.

Otherwise well have Sanders as our candidate. Well lose Congress by a ton. And well get wiped out in the presidential race.

Clinton ran in 2008, but lost the nomination to former President Barack Obama. She lost the 2016 presidential election to Donald Trump.

Hillary Clinton Is Not Considering A 2024 Presidential Bid

With the 2024 election looming upon us, talks of who and who will not run for president are beginning to heat up. Typically, candidates will wait until the midterm elections are over, which take place fall of this year, before announcing their bid for office -- but that doesn't stop the rumor mill from working double time.

All eyes are on the Republican side this year as they select their 2024 candidates. It is still unclear if former president Donald Trump will run again, though many predict that he will. According to CBS News, some were speculating that Trump would announce his candidacy early, long before the fall midterms, but that has yet to unfold.

For the Democratic side, President Joe Biden will likely run again on the ticket. He made it clear that if he does, he plans on running with Vice President Kamala Harris as his mate again. Although, with his low approval rating, a CNN poll found that 75% of Democratic voters would like to see a different candidate on their ticket come 2024.

With talks of a potential Democrat running in 2024, it's no surprise that all eyes are on Hillary Clinton. However, she has taken a firm stance on running again.

Hillary Clinton, a staple in Democratic politics for decades, recently sat down with CBS Evening News anchor Norah O'Donnell to discuss a long list of topics. She touched on everything from the behavior of former president Donald Trump, to what her future in politics looks like.

Clinton was passionate when asked whether or not she would take a bid at the White House again in 2024. "No -- no," Clinton quickly replied to O'Donnell when asked if she would ever run again. "But I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure that we have a president who respects our democracy and the rule of law and upholds our institutions."

She continued by stating that the Republican Party should take the first step, starting with Trump. "If Donald Trump runs again," the former secretary of state said, "He should be soundly defeated."

"It should start in the Republican Party -- grow a backbone! Stand up to this guy!" Clinton added. "And heaven forbid if he gets the nomination, he needs to be defeated soundly and sent back to Mar-a-Lago."

Hillary Clinton had emails on server more classified than top secret …

Hillary Clinton's private email server contained information that was classified at a higher level than "top secret," the inspector general of the intelligence community told members of Congress in a letter obtained by CBS News.

The server Clinton used as secretary of state contained "several dozen emails containing classified information determined by the [intelligence community] element to be at the CONFIDENTIAL, SECRET, and TOP SECRET/SAP levels," the inspector general, Charles McCullough, wrote in the letter, which was first reported by Fox News. "SAP" stands for special access programs, which carry a classification level higher than top secret.

Former CIA Director David Petraeus was sentenced to two years' probation and fined $100,000 for sharing similarly classified information with Paula Broadwell, his biographer and mistress.

The FBI is currently investigating whether State Department officials improperly included classified material in email correspondence with Clinton. The State Department and the intelligence community have at times clashed over how the material on her server should be classified, with the State Department arguing it is less sensitive than the intelligence community insists.

Her campaign press secretary, Brian Fallon, reiterated what Clinton has said for months: no classified information was sent or received through her private email server.

"This is the same interagency dispute that has been playing out for months, and it does not change the fact that these emails were not classified at the time they were sent or received," he said. "It is alarming that the intelligence community [inspector general], working with Republicans in Congress, continues to selectively leak materials in order to resurface the same allegations and try to hurt Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. The Justice Department's inquiry should be allowed to proceed without any further interference."

The top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Dianne Feinstein, had a similar response, calling the story "nothing new."

"None of the emails that are alleged to contain classified information were written by Secretary Clinton. The question of whether she received emails with classified information has nothing to do with any action taken by Secretary Clinton," she said. "Additionally, none of the emails that were sent to Secretary Clinton were marked as including classified information, a requirement when such information is transmitted."

Feinstein said the inspector general was being used for "baldly partisan attacks."

An earlier version of this story referred to the inspector general of the Intelligence Committee. It has been updated to reflect that the inspector general is for the intelligence community.

Bill and Hillary Clinton, U.S. and Foreign Policymakers Remember Madeleine Albright at Georgetown Symposium – Georgetown University

In a panel with Sherman, Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, shared how Albright had been her role model throughout her career. When she took on Albrights former position at the U.N., she emulated the secretarys efforts to create an informal group of women on the Security Council, which Albright had called the G-7. I know Madeleine was very proud of that, she said.

She was an icon to so many. She paved a path forward for all of us, said Thomas-Greenfield, who led Albright Stonebridge Groups Africa practice and worked with Georgetowns Institute for the Study of International Diplomacy prior to her appointment as ambassador to the U.N. But of all the many job titles MKA held, she was most proud of being called Professor Albright. She has left a huge legacy for all of us, and I know she is counting on you to carry her work forward.

Among her accomplishments as a diplomat, womens rights trailblazer and dedicated teacher, Albright will be remembered for her famed undergraduate course, American National Security Tool Box.

On todays second day of the symposium, students recreated the courses signature diplomacy simulation involving a foreign policy crisis. In Albrights class, students would spend the semester preparing, and the assignment made up a significant portion of their grades.

Todays competition was led by some of Albrights former teaching assistants and judged by real-life diplomats including former undersecretary of state Ambassador David Hale (SFS84), assistant secretary for the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs Ambassador Todd Robinson (SFS85) and former U.S. Ambassador to Hungary Colleen Bell.

Albright even encouraged one of her former TAs David Trichler (MSFS11), now associate director of the Global Research Institute at William & Mary, to bring the simulation to his classroom in Williamsburg.

It was typical MKA: generous, empowering and forward-leaning, expanding her ideas and perspective to a broader audience, said Trichler. Teaching the class, both at William & Mary and at W&Ms DC center, has been a joy. And MKA was a consistent guest lecturer, both in person and via Zoom.

Joel Hellman, dean of SFS, recalled how Albright called him a few days before the 2022 spring semester began to tell him she wouldnt be able to teach her course. She apologized for telling him right before the semester began, but the one thing I tried hardest not to give up was my classroom.

As much as she changed the world during her lifetime, she left us a generation of leaders and leaders-to-be committed to helping and keeping the fight for democracy, human rights and dignity for all, said Hellman. And at this perilous moment in world affairs, I am convinced that this will prove to be her most enduring legacy.

After attending the symposium, Vanesa Coello (MSFS24) said she was struck by Albrights dedication to empowering women, a legacy she hopes to carry forward in her goal to work in the State Department.

Prior to the symposium, I already had this passion for foreign policy in me, said Coello. But hearing about her, it sparked something in me. She focused so much of her impact on women, and it gives me a responsibility to carry out that legacy. I want to ensure that legacy lives on through me. It just feels like Im walking on a path Im supposed to be walking.
