In a bizarre interview on Monday, former Secretary of State and failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said that Americans who engage in speech that she doesn’t like should be “criminally charged.”

As reported by Breitbart, Clinton made the remarks during an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, in response to a question regarding the Biden-Harris Administration’s efforts to silence alleged Russian propaganda ahead of the 2024 election.

“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,” said Clinton. She also claimed, without evidence, that Republican members of Congress are parroting “Russian talking points” on “the floor of Congress.”

“I think we need to uncover all of the connections and make it very clear that you could vote however you want,” she continued. “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.”

The Left has resurrected its use of “Russia propaganda” as a talking point following the Department of Justice (DOJ) indictment of Tenet Media, a Canadian media company run by Lauren Chen and her husband Liam Donovan. In the indictment, it is alleged that Chen and Donovan were colluding with Russia’s state-controlled media outlet Russia Today (RT) to promote rhetoric that benefited Russia to their conservative audience, particularly with regards to the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Among Tenet Media’s most prominent personalities are Canadian filmmaker Lauren Southern, podcasters Tim Pool and Dave Rubin, and Turning Point USA’s Benny Johnson. The indictment claims that none of the other personalities were aware of the Russian involvement, and that only Chen and Donovan were directly aware of for whom they were working.
