Hillary Clinton says Americans who, whether knowingly or not, share political misinformation should face potential civil – or even criminal – legal consequences.
The 2016 Democratic presidential candidate made that comment during an appearance on Rachel Maddow’s MSNBC show on Monday night, after the host asked Clinton whether the U.S. government is taking foreign attempts to spread propaganda “seriously enough.” The question was tied to the Justice Department’s recent indictment of two RT employees who covertly funded right-leaning commentators.
“I also think are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda, and whether they should civilly, or even in some cases criminally charged, is something that would be a better deterrent,” Clinton told Maddow. “Because the Russians are unlikely, except in a very few cases, to stand trial in the United States.”
