Hillary Clinton, who was defeated by President Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, has now decided to weigh in on the violent chaos erupting in Los Angeles, which started when radical activists launched an attack against federal immigration agents on Friday.
After California officials failed to control the violence, President Trump deployed the National Guard, which prompted outrage – and now a lawsuit – from Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom.
In a post on X Monday afternoon, Clinton claimed it was all “peaceful demonstrations.”
“California Governor Newsom didn’t request the National Guard be deployed to his state following peaceful demonstrations. Trump sent them anyway. It’s the first time in 60 years a president has made that choice. Trump’s goal isn’t to keep Californians safe. His goal is to cause chaos, because chaos is good for Trump,” she wrote.

Doubling down, Clinton has pinned to the top of her X page a video from a CNN interview in October 2024, in which she claimed Trump is an “authoritarian.”

Clinton is being widely mocked over her claim about “peaceful demonstrations.” She shut down comments on her post, so X users are re-posting her statement and ripping her to shreds.
Several people are pointing out her actions during the Benghazi terror attack.
Below is just a sampling of the outrage being posted:

Because Death to America is so peaceful and unifying. The burning of cars was just so they could see what they were doing as they took jewelry from a nearby store and beer from the local gas station. They NEEDED those things, so it’s ok.🤦🏼♀️ https://t.co/hLSJbcCNAF pic.twitter.com/BKy8KnYFUW

I can’t believe your audacity to be commenting on anything. I would say after Benghazi… you need to sit down and shut up. You lost an election because nobody wanted to hear from you anymore. https://t.co/UZReIhUpBy
