Clinton Blasts Trump For ‘Seditious Conspiracy’ To Stay in Power, Says After Winning 3 Million More Votes Never Thought to Claim Victory

Former Secretary of State and 2016 presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, ripped into former President Donald Trump in an interview with CBS’s Norah O’Donnell.

In a preview clip for the interview, which airs Tuesday night, O’Donnell asks Clinton for her thoughts about the House Jan. 6 Committee and Trump’s involvement in the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

“I would not be honest if I didn’t say I think there was a seditious conspiracy against the government of the United States and that’s a crime,” Clinton responded.

“Led by Donald Trump, encouraged by Donald Trump,” Clinton added.

“I spent, you know, many days on airplanes flying from place to place encouraging people to have a real democracy, and one of the hallmarks of a real democracy is the peaceful transfer of power,” she said, noting the efforts on Jan. 6 to stop the certification of the 2020 election by a pro-Trump mob.

Clinton also addressed her 2016 loss to Trump and spoke from the position of a presidential candidate forced to face defeat.

“Was I happy when I beat Donald Trump by nearly 3 million votes but lost the Electoral College? No, I was not happy,” added an animated Clinton.

“Did I even for a nanosecond think I’m going to claim victory and try to get the Democrats to refuse to certify the election? No!” she added.
