Hillary Clinton faced backlash on social media on Monday after expressing shock to Trump administration officials who mistakenly add journalists to the signal message chain debating Yemen's recent military strike.
“You have to be kidding me,” Clinton wrote to X.
The former Secretary of State's tweet came in response to an Atlantic article that revealed a spectacular national security violation involving high-level Trump administration officials.
The magazine's editor, Jeffrey Goldberg, revealed that he was incorrectly included in group texts with Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegses, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, and other Trump administration officials.
Goldberg was added to the signal chain on March 11th, and the strike took place on March 15th.
Social media users laughed at Clinton's response. The 77-year-old former Secretary of State noticed that she was obsessed with the national security scandal of her own self-harm during the 2016 presidential bid.
“She shouldn't talk about it…” Kyle Adams, a former Republican political consultant, wrote to X.
“Sit down this, you should make the witch mean,” tweeted conservative influencer Gunther Eagleman.
“I was old enough to remember when I used the server in your basement and nothing happened to you,” said Michael J. Morrison, a member of a young Republican in New York.
Clinton's infamous email server blunder led to a federal investigation, but she was never charged.
Former FBI director James Comey announced in July 2016 that he was not recommending criminal charges against top Obama administration diplomats, despite the fact that the director was “very careless” to use private servers to store sensitive government documents.
“While we found no clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate the laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they are very sensitive and inadvertent in handling of highly classified information.”
The FBI probe discovered that Clinton stores tens of thousands of emails from the State Department on several different, unsecured private servers.
In total, Comey's survey found 113 emails in 52 email chains containing classified information.
