NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

In a tweet from Tuesday, former U.S. Secretary of State and failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton pointed to testimony shown in the January 6 Committee hearings that several close advisors to former President Trump told him that he lost the 2020 election. That despite Trump's public insistence that he won the contest, and his allegations that it was stolen from him.

For Clinton, this was all part of Trumps "criminal conspiracy" to overturn the election results. Her full tweet read. "The latest January 6 hearings show that Trump knew he lost the election. His own people told him he'd lost the election. He then chose to wage a criminal conspiracy to overturn the results and prevent the peaceful transfer of power for the first time in American history."

The Washington Post was accused of bias after publishing a May 23 piece that claimed there is "no evidence" Hillary Clinton triggered the Russian probe despite her former campaign manager testifying that she approved distributing materials alleging a secret communications channel between the Trump Organization and Russias Alfa Bank to the media.

JAN. 6 COMMITTEE POSTPONES WEDNESDAY HEARING DUE TO 'TECHNICAL ISSUES'

Conservatives on Twitter swarmed Clintons replies, slamming her for promoting and spreading the now-debunked narrative that Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election.

According to testimony from Clintons former campaign manager Robby Mook during the Michael Sussman trial last month, Clinton signed off on disseminating the unproven claims of collusion to the press.

Washington Times columnist Tim Young skewered Clinton with a reply to her tweet, writing, "Oh, like how you knew you lost the election in 2016 and went on to push the Russian Collusion lie?"

Mocking an infamously premature Happy Birthday tweet Clinton posted to herself just ahead of election day 2016, political personality and author Michael Malice posted a picture of Trump with the caption, "Happy birthday to this future president." Tuesday happened to be the former presidents birthday.

Conservative Twitter user Nick V. Flor tweeted, "Alex, I'll take What is Russian Collusion for $100."

THE SAME THREAT BEHIND JAN. 6 CAPITOL RIOT 'ISN'T OVER': REP. KINZINGER

Former MLB pitcher and outspoken conservative Curt Schilling really laid into Clinton for her tweet. He wrote, "You, honestly, need to STFU and thank the Lord you are not in jail. You and your teenage groping mutant are one of the many reasons legal American citizens despise DC. You two represent ALL that is wrong with the left and with politics."

Political strategist and former Trump administration official Michael Caputo tweeted, "Im not telling her, you tell her" implying Clinton was unaware of the irony.

"The High Priestess of Projection accuses Trump of everything she did," wrote conservative podcast host Monica Crowley.

And Republican congressional candidate from Maryland, Antonio Piotocco tweeted, "I'm old enough to remember when Hillary Clinton knew she lost the election in 2016 but went around the country telling everyone the election was stolen from her."

No, these mass shootings weren’t a plot to protect Hillary Clinton from negative news coverage – PolitiFact

People often claim that horrific tragedies are staged to distract attention from other news stories. When doing so, its wise to check the dates first.

A June 14 Facebook post shared by conservative rocker Ted Nugent shows a screenshot implying that three separate mass shootings were timed to distract from various controversies involving former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

But a simple Google search shows that the timelines between the shootings and the stories involving Hillary Clinton dont closely match.

The post was flagged as part of Facebooks efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.)

Heres what the post says:

"Remember when Hillary was testifying about Benghazi? Probably not. You were too busy watching the elementary school massacre in Connecticut."

"Remember when Hillary got tattled on by Blumenthal for using illegal servers in the White House? Probably not. You were too busy watching the Charleston church shooting."

"Remember that time Hillarys campaign lawyer went to trial for lying to the FBI about Trumps-Russia collusion? Probably not. Youre too busy watching the Uvalde school shooting massacre."

Lets address the claims one by one.

Clintons Benghazi testimony and the Sandy Hook school shooting

The first reference is to Clintons testimony about the attack on Sept. 11, 2012, by Islamic militants on U.S. sites in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, Foreign Service officer Sean Smith, and CIA contractors Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty.

Clinton testified before Congress on two separate occasions about the attack. The first was on Jan. 23, 2013, when she testified separately before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

In 2014, the House established a select committee to further investigate the attack. Clinton, a leading candidate at the time for president, again testified before Congress on Oct. 22, 2015, in a lengthy hearing that was carried live on major news networks and drew wide coverage.

The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, where gunman Adam Lanza first killed his mother, then traveled to the school to kill 20 children and six adults before killing himself, happened on Dec. 14, 2012.

Thats over a month before Clintons first Benghazi testimony and nearly three years before her 2015 testimony.

Clintons email server and the Charleston church shooting

Another claim is a reference to the news that Clinton used a private email address instead of a government account during her time as secretary of state. That news first gained widespread attention after an article in the New York Times on March 2, 2015, but according to the Washington Post, the details first came out in 2013, when a hacker named "Guccifer" leaked emails from Sidney Blumenthal, a longtime friend of Clinton who worked as an adviser to President Bill Clinton.

The website The Smoking Gun mentioned Clintons use of a private email address in its 2013 report about emails sent to her by Blumenthal.

The FBI opened an investigation on July 10, 2015, and news coverage of it dogged Clinton for much of her campaign, even after then-FBI Director James Comey announced on July 5, 2016, there would be no charges.

On June 17, 2015, a white supremacist named Dylann Roof killed nine Black people during a Bible study at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. The shooting happened more than three months after news of Clintons private email address first gained widespread attention, three weeks before the FBI announced its investigation, and more than two years after Blumenthals emails were first leaked by a hacker.

The Sussmann trial and the Uvalde, Texas, School shooting

Jury selection began on May 16, 2022, for Michael Sussmann, a Democratic attorney who represented Hillary Clintons campaign. He was facing charges that he lied to the FBI by saying he was not working on behalf of a particular client when he gave the FBI information about possible ties between Donald Trumps campaign and a Russian bank.

He was acquitted on May 31 after a two-week trial.

On May 24, 2022, Salvador Ramos walked into Robb Elementary school in Uvalde and killed 19 students and two teachers. That shooting took place eight days after Sussmans trial began.

Mass shooting conspiracies are common

The recent tragedy in Uvalde prompted a flurry of misinformation online, much of which PolitiFact has already debunked.

Such theories are common after mass shootings, and people often make fantastical claims that they are false flags meant to further an agenda like gun control or to distract from another news event.

Our ruling

A Facebook post implied that three separate mass shootings Sandy Hook, Charleston and Uvalde were timed to distract from various controversies involving Hillary Clinton.

Theres no evidence to suggest any of the shootings were staged. And the timing of the shootings do not match up with the events from which they were supposedly meant to distract.

Nugent already has two Pants on Fire ratings from us. This ridiculous claim makes it three: Pants on Fire!

LISTEN: Speaking of Arkansas – What’s the future of the Clinton House Museum? – Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

[DON'T SEE THE PODCAST ABOVE? CLICK HERE: nwaonline.com/617museum/]

Bill Clinton's presidency ended more than 20 years ago, but he remains the first and only Arkansan to have made it to the political Mount Everest, the White House. Well before he and Hillary Clinton were residents at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., they got married inside a small brick house at 930 California Drive in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Today, the house is the Clinton House Museum, a local effort to preserve and commemorate the place where the couple joined friends and supporters to plot out the early days of Bill Clinton's political journey. A house in Hope, Arkansas, is where William Jefferson Blythe was born, but it could be said this house in Fayetteville became the birthplace of his political success, the setting for his first successful run for public office to become Arkansas' attorney general.

The house is owned by the University of Arkansas, which also owns a number of other older houses in the area adjacent to the UA campus. The university leases the home to the board of directors of the Clinton House Museum, which is working to ensure the property's future as a stop on the so-called "Billgramage" is preserved.

In this episode of Speaking of Arkansas, that board's president, former UA professor Stephen Smith, discusses the museum's future, the house's place in political history and the efforts to build an endowment to fund operation of the small museum.

For additional information, visit clintonhousemuseum.org. The museum at 930 W. Clinton Drive is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.

The week in whoppers: Team Biden’s gas-price cluelessness, NPR’s PC silliness and more – New York Post

Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusionsThis flashback

We forecast that retail gasoline prices will [fall to] $2.88/gal on average in 2022.

US Energy Information Administration, Dec. 7, 2021 (just seven months ago)

We say: Talk about clueless! The national average price hit $5.09 a gallon Thursday, per AAA.

Tampons, a necessity for many, are becoming harder and harder to find.

People who menstruate are saying it's hard to find tampons on store shelves across the U.S. right now, as supply chain upsets reach the feminine care aisle.https://t.co/p5mAPlSwPM

We say: People who menstruate? Gee, what kind of people might those be men? NPRs silly phrase is a natural progression from terms like birthing people, chestfeeding and gender-neutral pronouns like they and xe. But most people know that only one type of person is capable of menstruation (and giving birth): women. And the networks attempt to hide that fact in the interest of political correctness only makes it look ridiculous.

Elon Musk is not a leader. Hes just another Republican billionaire who supports white supremacy and authoritarianism because he doesn't want his workers to unionize or to pay his fair share in taxes.

The GOP just tried to end democracy and now hes supporting them. https://t.co/WArBQQsHK5

We say: Everyones entitled to his opinion, but shouldnt lawmakers like Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) be expected to make sense? Mayra Flores was born in Mexico.

We say: You cant ask for better proof of Salons desperation for clicks (from the left) than this headline. Yet the story, too, absurdly links Christian belief to those who seek violence, claiming its become normal for Republicans to pray for the death of Democratic presidents. Author Thomas Lecaque actually suggests this isnt a fringe phenomenon but part of the core problem of the GOP. Alas, if anything, the evidence he cites GOP politicians like Kandiss Taylor, who used the slogan Jesus, Guns, Babies (hardly a sign she backs violence) but failed to get more than 3% of the vote in Georgias Republican gubernatorial primary last month proves just the opposite.

The [right-wing media are] too reluctant to stand up for the truth in the face of massive lying to call a lie a lie.

Hillary Clinton, quoted in The New Statesman, June 14

We say: Uh, does Clinton mean the right-wing social media that squelched The Posts Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020 and the mainstream media that pooh-poohed it to ensure Joe Bidens win only to later admit it was all 100% true? Is she talking about the medias failure to call out the Russia Collusion hoax that her own campaign launched beginning in 2016? Ha! Shes referring mostly to Trumps (false) claims that the 2020 election was stolen. But who is Clinton to gripe about that when she herself claimed 16 was stolen based on a lie her own campaign promoted?
