They say that a dog who brings a bone will carry a bone.

In an upcoming docu-series, Hillary Clintons 2016 running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine reveals that Barack Hussein Obama called President Trump a fascist during a phone call.

President Obama called me last night and said: Tim, remember, this is no time to be a purist. Youve got to keep a fascist out of the White House, Kaine recalled the Forever President telling him in a clip included in the Hulu series, Hillary, according to NBC News.

Anne Holton, the Virginia senators wife, was also reportedly present during the call. Kaine added that Obama knows him and he knows that I could tend to err.

I echo that sentiment, Clinton replied, then putting her hands to her chest and saying, But thats reallythe weight of our responsibility is so huge.

For those who dont know, fascist governments have been historically known to be militaristic, and racist.

So, among his many nicknames, Obama The Oracle may be apropos four years later.

The Disney-associated streaming platform will launch the four-episode docu-serieswhich premiered Saturday at the Sundance Film FestivalMarch 6.

NBC reports that the director Nanette Burstein confirmed in an email that the Kaine clip was recorded by a camera crew hired by the Clinton campaign at an unknown date and time.

The project is the same one where Clinton was talking greasy about Sen. Bernie Sandersthe formidable political rival many believe cost her the 2016 election.

Last week, the Hollywood Reporter revealed that Clinton said that the senator from Vermont was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him. Nobody wants to work with him.

He got nothing done, she furthered. He was a career politician. Its all just baloney, and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it.

So now we know what the former secretary of State, New York senator and First Lady said about Sanders.

Only time will tell what she really had to say about Obamawho some believe cost her the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008.

Obama Called Trump a 'Fascist' on Phone Call During Hillary Clinton's 2016 Run for The White House - The Root

PLEASANTVILLE, N.Y. Hillary Clinton couldnt have picked a more historic day to be surrounded by some of her most ardent fans on home turf.

As the House voted to impeach President Donald Trump, Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee who lost to Trump despite winning the popular vote, took the stage at Pace University, just four miles away from her home in Chappaqua.

The House voted on Wednesday to impeach Trump for alleged abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

It is a story of abuse of power, using the office of the president to further not the nation's objectives but his own personal political objectives," Clinton said at the event moderated by singer Vanessa Williams. "The facts are not at dispute. This is not a he said-she said. This is what happened.

"It's really important to me that I do everything I can and make sure that we retire the incumbent regardless of what happens."

What's next?All eyes on the Senate after House votes to impeach Donald Trump

Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea, were at Pace to discuss their new book, The Book of Gutsy Women.

Lori Gowen Morton brought her daughters Nora, 12, and Kelly, 9, to the event to listen to the Clintons.

I find it particularly satisfying today to be in the company of strong women celebrating other strong women, she said.I want my daughters to grow up with the confidence and resilience to pursue their own big ideas and overcome challenges and failures that come along the way.

Another attendee, Frank Cosentino, said he was curious to hear Clinton's take on today's politics.

She won the popular vote by 3 million and didn't become president," he said. "And now the person that beat her is getting impeached. Its a crazy time.

Hardly anyone in American history could be more intimately familiar with impeachment than Clinton, who has had ties to three of the four presidential impeachment proceedings in American history, including that of her husband Bill Clinton.

As a young lawyer fresh out of Yale Law School in 1974, Hillary Clinton was part of a team of staffers on the House Judicial Committee tasked with writing a memo on what should be considered an impeachable offense for an American president during Richard Nixons Watergate scandal.

Clinton and others on the bipartisan team produced a 64-page memo detailing the origins of impeachment and the constitutional grounds that would be needed to impeach an American president. Nixon resigned before the impeachment vote.

Analysis: For Trump and Pelosi, impeachment will shape their legacies and their futures

In 1998, Bill Clinton became the second American president, after Andrew Johnson in 1868, to be impeached when the House approved two articles of impeachment accusing him of perjury to a grand jury and obstruction of justice. The Senate acquitted him of both charges the following January.

The latest impeachment inquiry was launched following a whistleblowers complaint that Trump pressured Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, who served on the board of a Ukrainian energy company.

The former first lady, senator, secretary of State and the 2016 Democratic nominee for president continues to remain a dominant voice in the national political conversation.

A new online Harris Poll survey of registered Democrats released by the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard this week found that Hillary Clinton was their top choice for the 2020 Democratic Party presidential nomination.

The book, which features more than 100 trailblazing women whose courage and resilience inspired them, includes American abolitionist Harriet Tubman; LGBTQ activist Edith Windsor; and Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old climate activist.

The tweet comes amid backlash from members of both parties over Trump's broadside against the Dingells in their home state of Michigan this week.

Trump sparked both cheers and moans from the crowd gathered in Battle Creek, Mich., on Wednesday night after saying John Dingell, the former dean of the House, was looking up from hell after noting he lowered flags to half-staff in the wake of his death.

She calls me up. 'It's the nicest thing that's ever happened. Thank you so much. John should be so thrilled. He's looking down. He'd be so thrilled, Trump said, referring to a call he received from Debbie Dingell. 'Thank you so much, sir.'"

"I said, 'That's OK, don't worry about it.' Maybe he's looking up. I don't know, Trump said.

The attack drew rebukes from several Republicans, with lawmakers calling it inappropriate and urging the president to apologize.

Hillary: 'Retire the incumbent' as House votes to impeach - Lohud

WASHINGTON She lost the election, but Hillary Clinton played a starring role in speeches on the House floor leading up to the impeachment vote of President Donald Trump.

Republicans have spent much of the day accusing Democrats of trying to use impeachment to reverse the results of the 2016 election.

If my Democratic colleagues were being honest, theyd tell us the only thing President Trump is guilty of is not being Hillary Clinton, said Kansas Rep. Roger Marshall.

Democrats and Republicans have long since stopped discussing the same reality when it comes to the TrumpUkraine affair. Democrats have spent the day focusing on Trumps actions and arguing he abused his presidential powers by pressuring Ukraine to interfere in domestic politics and obstructed Congresss investigation.

Rather than take on the details of those charges, Republicans have portrayed the whole process as a sort of legislative coup.

They hate this president. They hate those of us who voted for him, said Utah Rep. Chris Stewart. They think we made a mistake. They think Hillary Clinton should be president and they want to fix that. Thats what this about.

Judiciary Committee chair Jerry Nadler eventually pointed out that impeachment would not, in fact, reverse the results of the election and place Clinton in the White House. If a president is convicted in the Senate and removed from office, the vice president assumes the presidency.

I would remind the gentleman if President Trump is impeached and removed, the new president would be Mike Pence, not Hillary Clinton, Nadler said.

Hearing this, Republicans broke into cheers.
