It’s Been Two Years Since The Election, And Hillary STILL Can’t Take A Joke

Failed Democrat presidential nominee, lifelong criminal and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton seems unable to take a joke — a joke about her, in particular.

During the presidential election two years ago, then-Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump issued a joke about Clinton’s 33,000 missing e-mails and tied it to allegations that Russian operatives had hacked the email server of the Democrat national committee.

“I will tell you this — Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. Let’s see if that happens,” he quipped.

Clinton had been under investigation at the time for using a private email address on a personal server to transmit classified State Department intelligence. Part of the investigation involved digging into the emails she’d sent.

But for some inexplicable reason about 30,000 of her emails suddenly disappeared, and wouldn’t you know it, the media had no interest in talking about this. And this, according to conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh, was what the joke was all about:

You can tell he’s joking when he talks about the press, about Russia being rewarded by the media. That was clearly sarcasm, and that probably really gets under their skin. The media would reward Russia? The media wouldn’t reward anybody for getting the goods on Hillary! That’s the whole point. The media’s job is to protect her.

Both Clinton and her liberal media allies freaked out about the joke at the time, and judging by the failed presidential nominee’s recent rhetoric, she still hasn’t gotten over it.

Fast-forward to a rally by Trump held Wednesday in Pennsylvania, where the president accused Clinton and her Democrat allies of colluding with Russia to affect the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.

“Here was collusion between Hillary, the Democrats and Russia,” he said. “There was a lot of collusion with them and Russia and lots of other people.”

This narrative is based on confirmed reports that Clinton and the Democrat National Committee had hired a firm during the election two years ago to dig into Trump’s background. After being hired, the firm pieced together a now-infamous dossier on Trump using intelligence gleaned by Russian operatives:

[T]he Clinton campaign and the DNC used a lawyer named Marc Elias to retain the oppo-research firm Fusion GPS to conduct research on the Trump campaign (the firm had previously worked on behalf of a still-unidentified Republican to investigate Trump). Fusion GPS then hired a former intelligence officer named Christopher Steele, who conducted an investigation and authored the dossier.

By applying the transitive property, we therefore see that Clinton worked (or you could say “colluded”) with the Russians in her bid to win the presidential election.

And yet, here’s how Clinton responded when Trump called her out this week:
