Hillary Considering Challenging the Election Results

Don’t call it a comeback -- because it isn’t.

In an interview with NPR’s Terry Gross on Monday, disgraced presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said she’s open to challenging the results of the 2016 election.

“I don't know if there's any legal, constitutional way to do that,” the former First Lady opined. “I don’t think we have a mechanism.”

However, citing “scholars” and “academics” who have asserted the possibility of such a history-reversing move, she seemed desperate to invalidate America’s choice by any means necessary. After predictably raising the question of Russia’s involvement in the outcome of the presidential race, the failed Democratic frontrunner then turned to a more bizarre excuse.

Hillary attempted to suggest another conspiratorial possibility by drawing a rather long and tenuous line of connections: a court recently overturned the Kenyan election, which was a project of Cambridge Analytica, the data company owned by the Mercer family, which was instrumental in the Brexit vote. A Brexit investigation is currently underway into “the use of data and the weaponization of information,” and Clinton therefore theorized that Mercer helped Donald Trump steal the Presidency.

And yet perhaps the most outlandish moment in the interview came when Hillary painted herself as a paragon of political selflessness:

“Let me just put it this way: if I had lost the popular vote but won the Electoral College and in my first day as president the intelligence community came to me and said, ‘The Russians influenced the election,’ I would've never stood for it. Even though it might've advantaged me, I would've said, ‘We've got to get to the bottom of this.’ I would've set up an independent commission with subpoena power and everything else.”

Suuure. A beacon of integrity and honesty, folks; that’s the Hillary Clinton we all know and rejected last November.
