Hillary Clinton Warns of Upcoming Misinformation Targeting Kamala Harris

[Social Media]

 

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has issued a stark warning about a potential "October surprise" aimed at distorting and misrepresenting Vice President Kamala Harris. In a recent interview with “Firing Line” host Margaret Hoover, Clinton expressed concerns that a concerted effort would be made to twist Harris’s image and achievements ahead of the upcoming election.

NEW: Hillary Clinton says “something will happen” in October, compares herself to the Greek mythological figure Cassandra & launches another Russian conspiracy theory.

Clinton called on the media to report only negative things about Trump to change Americans’ minds.

“There will be concerted efforts to distort and pervert Kamala Harris, who she is, what she stands for, what she’s done,” Clinton said during the interview. She compared the potential smear campaign against Harris to the 2016 “pizzagate” conspiracy theory, which falsely accused Clinton herself of running a child trafficking operation from the basement of a Washington, D.C., pizzeria. The conspiracy, which spread widely online, culminated in a North Carolina man opening fire at the pizza parlor in an attempt to rescue the fictional children.

 

“I mean, look, I mean, the crazy story about me running a child trafficking operation out of a basement of a pizzeria,” Clinton recalled, drawing laughter from the audience. But her tone quickly shifted, as she reminded the crowd of the serious consequences of such disinformation. “Don’t laugh. It was a huge story. And it got one young man in North Carolina to get in his car with his, you know, assault rifle and drove up to liberate these nonexistent children and shoot up a pizzeria in Washington, D.C.”

 

Clinton highlighted the dangers of disinformation campaigns that begin online, often in dark corners of the internet, before spreading to larger platforms. “This is dangerous stuff,” she said. “It starts online often on the dark web. It migrates. It’s picked up by the pro-Trump media. It’s then reported on by everybody else, which makes sure it has about 100 percent coverage, and people believe it.” She warned that, as the election draws nearer, “the digital airwaves” will likely be filled with misinformation, which can easily gain traction and influence public perception.

 

Looking ahead, Clinton speculated that Harris may become the target of a major disinformation campaign in the final weeks before the election. “I don’t know what it’s going to be,” she said about the anticipated “October surprise,” a term often used to describe last-minute efforts to influence an election. “But it will be something, and we’ll have to work very, very hard to make sure that it is exposed as the lie that it is.”

 

Clinton also voiced concerns about the role foreign actors such as Russia, Iran, and China could play in fueling disinformation efforts, specifically through social media. She stressed the importance of the press maintaining a “consistent narrative” about the potential dangers posed by former President Donald Trump and his influence on the country.

In other words she knows that some real dirt on Harris has been discovered and is attempting to head it off in advance. IMO.

She's worried about fake dirt.

 Never heard of Clinton’s child ring in the pizzeria.

 

She just making this up as she goes along?

 

She still extremely bitter about losing to Trump.

3 words.

Edit:  And the accurate term is malinformation.  Not misinformation.

I agree.  Even worse than Biden.  And I thought the scale was pegged with him.

One thing, Hillary has never told a lie.  The Clinton Crime Foundation was the best thing in helping poor needing people.  Paid out between 5% and 9% of what they took in.  Where did the rest go?

Wonder if Harris left her computer in the shop too ?

No=one needs to worry this. It is difficult to distort these things when they do not apply to Harris. She is nothing but a flaky twit who knows nothing about speaking or being a politician. She stands for something today but tomorrow she will stand against it to appease the crowd she is talking to. She has done nothing since being in the White House so there it nothing to distort there. If the facts are said she will of course distort the truth of it though.

So Hillary did not advise Kamala to delete the emails, like Hilary did?

The baseless theory is that the business was a front for a child sex ring run by Hillary Clinton and her campaign manager.

It won't matter. the news services will distort anything negative about her and paint her in a pretty picture to the world since they are so biased and never bother to fact check anything against Harris. The independent news services who do report it will be ridiculed that they are MAGA or spreading Trump rhetoric and downplayed by the bigger news services. I really do not know why Clinton is worried about it unless it is something that is very bad she knows about and is laying the groundwork in peoples minds for when it surfaces that it is not true.

You can blame Giuliani for that! 😀

Why did he wait one year to disclose it and gave a copy only to the biased NYPost?

When the MSM got a copy, they did a forensic analysis and confirmed the content.

Not at all. It had all the earmarks of a Russian disinformation. Brought up  by Giuliani, known for his contacts with Russian operatives, who acted as if he wanted to make sure the laptop content could not be authenticated. Even NYPost reporters did not trust the information!

I never claimed it was. I claimed it looked like it, and MSM had no way to check it, because Giuliani did not give them a copy. Even the NYPost did not have enough time to authenticate it.

Facts are:

- Giuliani was previously known for his contacts with Russian operatives and diffusing Russian disinformation,

- he left no time for anyone to authenticate it before the election,

- MSM did not get a copy and could not authenticate it.

 

So it was all about believing Giuliani or not, according to his reputation.
