In a recent CNN interview, Florida Republican Representative Byron Donalds—who may be Donald Trump’s running mate in the 2024 GOP presidential contest—vehemently attacked Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee in the 2016 election.
During an interview, the legislator from the GOP was asked about comments made by the former first lady, who compared Republicans and their followers to members of a “cult.”

“How do you feel about being told you’re in a cult?” During a recent CNN appearance, Donalds was questioned.
“I stopped caring about what Hillary Clinton had to say long ago because she lost a long, long time ago,” Donalds replied. “And she’s largely irrelevant as far as I’m concerned. But to a broader level, since Hillary wants to engage, allow me to engage.
“You lied multiple times, you destroyed emails, you destroyed evidence, and then you laundered phony information that you knew was phony into the intelligence community because you were scared you were going to lose,” Donalds continued. “You did all this, and you still lost, so I’m not going to listen to Hillary Clinton about who I should and should not support.”
“She has lied to the American people repeatedly. She used our government to spy on the campaign of one of her opponents. Yes, America, she did that. So if people like talking about Watergate and Nixon, look no further than Hillary Clinton and the Crossfire Hurricane,” He made reference to the code name of the FBI’s investigation into Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russian involvement, which was started in the last few months of President Obama’s presidency.
Following Obama’s tenure as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton resigned in 2013 to concentrate on getting ready for the presidential campaign.
Contrary to what Clinton and other Democrats have said, there is no proof that Trump worked with Russian President Vladimir Putin to rig the election in his favor. The same conclusion has been made by many congressional investigations, as well as a special counsel investigation headed by former FBI Director Robert Mueller: there is no proof to back up this allegation.

WATCH:
Years after Trump’s election, Clinton continued to refer to him as a “illegitimate president.”
“I tried really hard, but then literally from his inauguration on, it was nothing but, you know, accusing people of things, making up facts,” she told the co-hosts of “The View” earlier this fall. “Everything that I worried about I saw unfolding, and so I think that he’d be even worse now because he was somewhat restrained—believe it or not—in the first term by people who he hired because he thought they would go along with him and they stood up to him.”
During a November interview on ABC’s “The View,” Clinton asserted that another term of Trump in the White House would be the “end of our country as we know it.”
One of the co-hosts, Sunny Hostin, asked Clinton what she thought about Trump possibly winning a second term.
“I can’t even think that. Because I think it would be the end of our country as we know it,” Clinton began. “And I don’t say that lightly.”
The former first lady and secretary of state declared that she was in favor of giving Trump a chance after he beat her in 2016.
“You know, I hated losing. And I especially hated losing to him because I had seen some of the warning signals during the campaign,” Clinton continued. “But I immediately said, ‘Look, we have to give him a chance, we’ve got to support, you know, the president we have,’ and I meant it.”
“I tried really hard, but then literally from his inauguration on, it was nothing but, you know, accusing people of things, making up facts,” she added. “Everything that I worried about I saw unfolding, and so I think that he’d be even worse now because he was somewhat restrained — believe it or not — in the first term by people who he hired because he thought they would go along with him and they stood up to him.”
