Twice-failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has accused President Donald Trump of being a “wannabe dictator” who is “enamored of Putin.”
During a falsehood-filled statement to CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, Clinton attacked Trump and the Republicans while discussing the Senate’s stalled bill that seeks to pump tens of billions of dollars into perpetuating Ukraine’s endless war with Russia.
The aid package, laughably labelled the “border security bill,” spends billions on fueling foreign wars while offering very little to secure the open Southern Border.
Earlier this month, Republican Senators voted against advancing a compromised bill amid a widespread backlash from voters and House lawmakers.
The Senate’s $118.28 billion “national security” supplemental package funnels $60 billion in military aid to Ukraine.
Only $20.23 billion was allocated to secure the U.S. border.
The bill offers nothing for border wall construction.
This comes amid an unprecedented flood of military-age males from Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and China across the Southern Border.
After this bill failed to pass the Senate last week, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) rolled out another supplemental aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
Early last Tuesday, the Senate passed Schumer’s supplemental aid package and allocated $95 billion to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
22 Republicans voted in favor of giving foreign countries money while ignoring the U.S. border crisis.
Nevertheless, the $95 billion package was dead on arrival in the House last week after Republican Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) shut it down.
In the wake of the move, Democrats and their corporate media allies are ramping up pressure on Speaker Johnson to fund Ukraine.
The key argument being peddled by the Left is that those who oppose the bill are “MAGA extremists” who are blindly following Trump.
Hillary Clinton was quick to lean into this narrative while sprinkling a little “Trump-Russia” claims on top for good measure.
According to Clinton, Trump is a “wannabe dictator” who looks to Russia’s “murderous, brutal” President Vladimir Putin for inspiration.
“If this [foreign aid] bill from the Senate were ever put on the floor of the House, it would pass… overwhelmingly,” Clinton said.
House Republicans “are not doing America’s business, they’re doing Donald Trump’s business,” she claimed.
“He’s a wannabe dictator.
“Why is Donald Trump so enamored of Putin?”

Earlier this month, Slay News reported that Clinton also tried to link Tucker Carlson to Putin.
She smeared Carlson as Putin’s “useful idiot” after it was announced that he had interviewed the Russian president.
During an interview on MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight,” Clinton also claimed that Carlson is Putin’s “puppy dog.”
