The right-wing figures and media outlets have been peddling former President Donald Trump’s conspiracy that his 2016 election rival and former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, spied on his campaign. Clinton responded to the conspiracy with a jab at the former president, pointing out the number of legal conflicts that he is now in.
Clinton took to Twitter to respond to the conspiracy theories that her aides spied on the former president. The former diplomat and lawmaker shared a link to the Vanity Fair piece that refutes the conspiracy being spread on the right-wing. Clinton pointed out that Trump and Fox News are trying to distract their viewers and base from the legal battles and investigations that Trump is currently embroiled in.
“Trump & Fox are desperately spinning up a fake scandal to distract from his real ones. So it’s a day that ends in Y,” tweeted Clinton. “The more his misdeeds are exposed, the more they lie.”
The conspiracy stems from a filing made by special counsel John Durham in his investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe. The former president and right-wing media outlets claimed that it was vindication for the repeated claims that he was being spied on.
One report claimed that Clinton’s campaign was paid to infiltrate the servers of Trump Tower and the White House. Trump at the time suggested that Democrats were caught illegally spying on him in a scandal he deemed as worse than Watergate.
The hosts of the MSNBC show “Morning Joe” also ripped into Fox News for running with the debunked conspiracy, calling the claims nonsense.
“It is so confounding and hard to follow,” said host Joe Scarborough. “This pleading, which is undecipherable unless you have an agenda and you want to shoot first and ask questions later, which is what they did legally. This is as confusing as the initial story. I remember when the initial story came out and I read through it and I was like, what? Everybody did. That’s why nobody paid attention to it the first time because it was so convoluted and looking about DNS lookups. ”
MSNBC journalist John Heilemann targeted the network’s coverage of the conspiracy.
“One of the things about this is there’s this willful or incredibly stupid or willful misconstruing what it’s about,” said Heilemann. Scarborough said it was “willfully stupid” on the network’s part.
“They know that they’re lying to their audience, that they’re liars, and they’re deliberately lying about that,” said Scarborough.
