Hillary Clinton has long been a favourite target of conservatives despite not being in the political spotlight since 2016.
But that minor detail hasn’t stopped Jason Miller, a longtime adviser to Donald Trump and part of his 2024 presidential campaign, from trying to promote a false story that she is planning to run for president this year.
Since 2019, Miller has been making social media posts that claim the former first lady is planning to run for president again, according to Meidas Touch. There is no real evidence that Clinton intends to run again; instead, she’s become a surrogate for US President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign, having hosted a fundraiser for him in November last year.
Miller probably intended for his posts to raise havoc among low-information voters and pearl-clutching conservatives.
However, considering how much Clinton hate has energised the Republican Party for the last three decades, the message he’s sending seems to be more like Jake Gyllenhaal’s line to Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain: “I wish I knew how to quit you.”
As for Clinton, it’s clear that she could care less about Miller. Replying to a post on X, formerly Twitter, from Meidas Touch editor in chief Ron Filipkowski that said Miller “can’t stop thinking about [Clinton],” the former secretary of state offered a response that was so casually brutal.
“Can’t say the feeling is mutual,” she wrote.
Many people were amused by Clinton’s response.
