Spurious News: Hillary Clinton statement on Signalgate

CHAPPAQUA, NY (Spurious News Network) -- The following is the statement of First Lady, Senator and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton regarding the recent revelation that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who as a Fox News host claimed that she should be in jail over her infamous email server, had coordinated an airstrike against the Houthis over a non-approved communication channel:

Truth adjacent journalism for the discerning reader.

This was her actual response:

She went further:

So Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server led to calls for her to be imprisoned, but Pete Hegseth and friends can have a Signal group chat about bombing a terrorist group and it’s no big deal? Apparently so, and while it’s infuriating, it’s not overly surprising.

Repeating “but her emails” every time a Donald Trump administration does something egregious has become a cliché for a reason. However, in the wake of the genuinely shocking revelation that Hegseth and other senior members of Trump’s national security team discussed a US bombing campaign against Houthi rebels in Yemen on a Signal group chat—one they apparently accidentally included Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg on—it bears repeating, again.

Clinton herself can’t believe it either.

“The hypocrisy is staggering, but worse, the arrogance and incompetence puts the lives of our military men and women in danger,” she tells Glamour exclusively, in her first public comments on the matter since a post on X on Monday.
