Former First Lady Hillary Clinton suggested she would be open to accepting an official position in a potential Harris administration, drawing jeers from Republicans who mocked her willingness to unretire.
During an interview with CBS News, reporter Erin Moriarty asked Clinton if she wanted to work in a potential Harris administration, either officially or unofficially.
“Well, certainly, unofficially, I want to be as helpful as I can and would do anything I was asked to be helpful,” Clinton replied. “We have so much to do that it really should be all hands on deck. And anybody who can help in any capacity should be willing to do so.”
“Yikes,” Republican strategist Steve Cortes posted on X. “A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote to make Hillary Clinton the Defense Secretary or Secretary of State.”
“This clip should send CHILLS down the spine of anyone who values peace and security,” Republican communications guru Steve Guest said. “Hillary & Kamala would be on the lookout to start a new war ASAP!”
“Having Hillary do interviews on behalf of the Harris campaign might be even more valuable for Republicans than having Harris do interviews for the Harris campaign,” he said.
Clinton, who immediately endorsed Harris when she entered the race, is a longtime election denier:
- 2016: Claimed the Supreme Court “took away a presidency” in Bush v. Gore.
- 2017: Alleged she would not “rule out” questioning the legitimacy of the 2016 election.
- 2020: Claimed the 2016 presidential election was not conducted legitimately, saying, “We still don’t really know what happened.”
- 2020: Claimed Stacey Abrams “would have won” Georgia’s gubernatorial race “if she had a fair election” and that Abrams “should be governor” but was “deprived of the votes [she] otherwise would have gotten.”
