Julian Assange of Wikileaks has a message for Hillary Clinton. If she wants to know why she lost, she should look into a mirror.
He’s right, of course. All he did was confirm what many knew by sharing information. That used to be the media’s job but we all know we can’t rely on them anymore.
The Washington Examiner reports:
Assange: Clinton did herself in, not WikiLeaks
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said it was Hillary Clinton’s “own words” that sunk her run for the presidency, not WikiLeaks’ decision to publish them.
“What is the allegation here exactly?” Assange asked in response to a question in an interview with the Italian newspaper la Repubblica about whether he had done a “hit job” on Clinton. “We published what the Democratic National Committee, John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, and Hillary Clinton herself were saying about their own campaign, which the American people read and were very interested to read, and assessed the elements and characters, and then they made a decision,” Assange said. “That decision was based on Hillary Clinton’s own words, her campaign manager’s own words. That’s democracy.”
In the weeks and months leading up to Election Day, WikiLeaks published private emails by DNC officials and Podesta that proved damaging the Democrats and Clinton.
Do you think Hillary and Democrats would be complaining if Wikileaks had released information which was damaging to Trump or any other Republicans?
Of course not.
