Book tour karma? Clinton compares ‘Russian meddling’ to 9/11, falls & breaks toe
17 Oct, 2017 RTNews
Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton received backlash after comparing Russia’s alleged meddling in the 2016 election to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The next day, she broke her toe and missed several interviews, but did not blame Russia.
Speaking at the Southbank Centre's London Literature Festival Sunday night, Clinton likened Russia’s alleged meddling in the 2016 presidential election to one of the worst tragedies in modern American history: the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Flight 93 in Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001.
“We’ve had really well-respected security, intelligence veterans saying this was a kind of ‘cyber 9/11’ in the sense it was a direct attack on American institutions,” Clinton said. “That may sound dramatic, but we know that they probed and tried to intrude into election systems, not just the social media propaganda part of their campaign.”
In 2003, Clinton described the attacks on September 11 as an “unspeakable tragedy” in her first memoir, Living History. She claimed that it changed her “as a Senator, a New Yorker and an American.”
