Rupert Murdoch: Hillary ‘Talking Nonsense,’ ‘Sounds Almost Fascist’

Rupert Murdoch tweeted some thoughts yesterday on Hillary Clinton‘s campaign kickoff rally, including a part he said sounded a little “fascist” to him.

Without getting much into specifics, he said the likely Democratic presidential candidate was spewing a lot of “nonsense”:

HillaryNo Surely smart enough to know she was talking nonsense at yesterday's yesterday.

Clinton made reference to LGBT rights at various points of her speech, saying, “We should ban discrimination against LGBT Americans and their families so they can live, learn, marry, and work just like everybody else.” This is how Murdoch took that:

HillaryNo Promises outlaw free speech about LGBT. What next? Sounds almost fascist.

And he concluded by also calling out Clinton for hypocrisy on big money:

HillaryNo. Bashes rich banker friends without mention of 'carried interest'. Must gave heard from moneybag Sen Chuck Schumer.

Last year, Murdoch gave an interview in which he said depending on who the GOP nominee is, he might end up supporting Clinton.

What’s the odds on that still being the case?
