Hillary Clinton was the first Democrat to run against Donald Trump in 2016. And a decade later, she’s still frequently a Trump critic.
This week, she appeared on the Democracy Docket podcast, hosted by the longtime Democratic lawyer Marc Elias, and the former secretary of state teed off on Trump once again.
“It’s ridiculous that we would be looking at ways of limiting voters, but that’s the only way they can win,” she said. “They can’t win a fair fight which is why Trump is so obsessed with stealing voter rolls and purging voters and making up ridiculous claims about people not eligible as citizens for voting which that is so vanishingly non-existent, it’s laughable. His Republican Party, which has become a cult answering only to him, can’t win a fair fight”

The former first lady was also critical of the Supreme Court, especially after the recent decisions.
“For a so-called conservative court, there’s nothing conservative about it,” Clinton added. “And there’s certainly nothing conservative about the lack of respect they have for congressional power, for Article I power, which looked at this problem, which studied this problem, which gathered evidence on this problem, and thought the Voting Rights Act was still necessary in order to conduct free and fair elections where everyone would feel that they were heard, their voice was counted, they were represented.”
She also had advice for the Democrats.
“We don’t play [the long game] in a coherent, unified way,” Clinton said. “I’m sure there are people in the center, center left, far left, whatever we call ourselves, who are working out what they want to see. But let’s get together. There are certain fundamental decisions that have to be made. Democracy is core to that.”
