Hillary Clinton seized the opportunity presented by Sundays 21st anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington to make a thinly veiled attack on the extremism and divisiveness stoked by Donald Trump, as she called for a return to national unity.

The former US secretary of state and first lady invoked the bipartisan mood of the country in the wake of the 9/11 attack in which almost 3,000 people were killed.

We were able to come together as a country at that terrible time, we put aside differences. I wish we could find ways of doing that again, she told CNN in an interview for the State of the Union politics show on Sunday morning.

It was recalled how, as a Democratic US senator for New York, in 2001 she flew over the burning wreckage of the World Trade Center at the disaster zone known as Ground Zero, in lower Manhattan, and went on air to pledge her unswerving support for Republican president George W Bushs efforts to lead the US response.

Clinton noted that she met with Bush and asked for $20bn in federal funds to rebuild. And he said, You got it, she told CNN anchor Dana Bash.

Clintons lament for the passing of such national togetherness then led her to make an impassioned attack on the turn toward extremism in American politics, albeit without mentioning Trump, the former Republican president who may yet run again in 2024, by name.

She said that 9/11 reminded Americans about how impossible it is to try and deal with extremism of any kind, especially when it uses violence to try to achieve political and ideological goals.

In another implicit reference to Trumps Make America Great Again (Maga) rightwing movement, she went on to say that a very vocal, very powerful, very determined minority wants to impose their views on the rest of us. Its time for everybody, regardless of party, to say no, thats not who we are as America.

Clintons remarks came on the morning that the US marked 21 years of the al-Qaida attacks on the twin towers in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, as well as Flight 93, the hijacked plane that crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Joe Biden laid a wreath at the Pentagon, where he recalled that terror struck us on that brilliant blue morning but did not destroy the character of this nation that terrorists sought to wound.

Biden, who lost his first wife and their daughter in a car crash that also injured their two sons, then later lost one of those sons, Beau, to cancer, said: I know for all of you who lost someone that 21 years is a lifetime and no time at all.

The US president was joined in the pouring rain by Gen Mark Milley, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, and defense secretary Lloyd Austin, who spoke about a day of horror and loss as 2,977 people were killed in the attacks.

First lady Jill Biden led commemorations at the memorial site in Shanksville, accompanied by her sister Bonny Roberts, whom Biden initially feared she might have lost that day as she was a flight attendant for United Airlines, which suffered two of the hijackings, but, it turned out, was not flying that morning.

Kamala Harris and the second gentleman, her husband Doug Emhoff, joined the observance at the National September 11 Memorial in New York.

The vice-president did not speak, as per tradition, allowing the commemoration to be led by the reading of the names of those who died and moments of silence to mark the points when the hijacked planes struck each of the towers.

But in an interview with NBCs Meet the Press, aired on Sunday, Harris spoke of Americas reputation as a world role model for democracy being under threat.

She cited challenges from the right wing to election integrity, including the attack on the US Capitol on 6 January 2021 in a bid to overturn Donald Trumps defeat by Joe Biden, and extremist Republicans unwillingness to condemn it, while also fielding many candidates in current elections who still refuse to accept the true result.

I think it is a threat it is very dangerous and I think it is very harmful. And it makes us weaker, she said.

Harris added that when meeting foreign leaders, the US had the honor and privilege historically of holding our head up as a defender and an example of a great democracy. And that then gives us the legitimacy and the standing to talk about the importance of democratic principles, rule of law, human rights And I think through the process of what weve been through, were starting to allow people to call into question our commitment to those principles. And thats a shame.

On Sunday, Kevin McCarthy, the Republican minority leader in the US House of Representatives, slammed the Biden administration.

Twenty-one years ago, we had a commander-in-chief [George W Bush] who united the country rather than divided the country, McCarthy told Fox News. He said were the Republicans to take back control of the House in Novembers midterm elections, we would build a nation that is safe. We have watched Democratic policies make it the deadliest of America [sic] in the last 20 years.

Hillary Clinton laments US extremism and calls for unity on 9/11 anniversary - The Guardian US

The list of things that Fox News gasbag Tucker Carlson hates is long and disturbingly sociopathic. It includes immigrants, people of color, the LGBTQ, Democrats, and with aberrant emphasis, women. He is, after all, the network's senior televangelist for testosterone doping and testicle tanning.

When Carlson isn't accusing Democrats and immigrants of plotting a "white replacement" campaign to overturn America's Christo-Caucasian supremacy, or sucking up to fascists like Viktor Orbn (and Vladimir Putin, and Donald Trump), he's whimpering about the loss of masculinity among the nation's male folk.

On Thursday night's episode of Carlson's "60 Minute Hate Fest," he unleashed a particularly nauseating harangue aimed at Hillary Clinton and her daughter Chelsea (video below). He began his perverse prattle by complaining falsely that Hillary Clinton was "talking about the female pudenda." He elaborated fantasizing that...

Gutsy is TV program produced by the Clintons and based on their book of the same name. It features their conversations with inspirational women who had "the courage to stand up to the status quo." Naturally Carlson was offended. He played a brief video clip of Hillary and Chelsea talking with rapper, Megan Thee Stallion...

So according to Carlson, that's "one of the creepiest things ever recorded." To most other rational, intelligent people it's an insightful observation about sexuality in popular culture. Carlson reacts to Chelsea's appreciation of female fierceness by sarcastically grumbling...

To be clear, it's just Carlson - and his feeble viewers - who can't handle it. Apparently in Carlson's deviant mind it is short hop from a successful and respected rapper talking about the influences in her music, to the sexuality of Hillary and Chelsea Clinton. That says so much more about Carlson's carnal depravity than it does about anything related to the Clintons. But then, that shouldn't surprise anyone. He recently confessed his sexual fixation on cartoon candy characters. So it's not exactly a revelation that he's a twisted, lecherous, perv with a Clinton fetish.

What does Hillary Clinton think of the legal troubles plaguing the former president who loves to lead chants of Lock her up? at his rallies? No one is above the law, she said, referring to Donald Trump, who was caught by the FBI hoarding highly classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

If the Justice Department decides that former President Donald Trump actually committed a crime, do you think he should be treated like any other citizen? CNNs Dana Bash asked Clinton during an appearance on Sundays State of the Union. Or should the DOJ take into the account the potential real-world consequences of indicting a former president and potential 2024 candidate?

More from Rolling Stone

I think its a really hard call, Clinton said. And I cannot predict what the Justice Department will do at the end of its investigation, but I do think the rule of law holding people accountable is central to our nation.

Clinton then alluded to her own history with federal record keeping laws related to her use of a personal email server during her time as secretary of state in the Obama administration. Two separate investigations, however, found that Clinton did not mishandle classified information. And Trumps own former attorney general, Bill Barr, admitted that the Clinton emails were not as raw as the documents Trump reportedly brought to Mar-a-Lago. But the facts have not stopped Trump from frequently attacking Clinton, including as recently as last week, when he alleged at a rally that she acid washed the email server.

Both as secretary of state and as a private citizen, I have answered every question Ive been asked, Clinton said on CNN. Ive testified for 11 hours. Ive been involved in anything that was asked of me to try to answer any kind of issue. I think thats the way the system is supposed to work, even if youre not sure why the spotlight was on you.

Story continues

Clinton continued, I really believe that at the end of the day no one is above the law, and no one should be escaping accountability if indeed the facts and the evidence point to them having done something that anyone else in our country would be investigated for and maybe even charged.

The former secretary of state was cautious in her answers, certainly more cautious than Trump, who enjoys saying she should be in jail. I know its not an easy call [whether to prosecute Trump] I dont want to inject my opinion into that difficult calculation because I dont know all the facts, and unlike people who jump to conclusions, I dont want to do that, Clinton said, making a not-so-veiled stab at Trump. But if the evidence proves or seems to show that there are charges that should be leveled, then I think the rule of law should apply to anyone.

No One Is Above the Law: Hillary Clinton on Trumps Legal Woes - Yahoo Entertainment

An attempt by an attorney for right-wing broadcaster Alex Jones to inject politics into the cross-examination of a former FBI agent who responded to the Sandy Hook massacre led to a contentious exchange with the judge presiding over the case.

Ex-FBI agent Bill Aldenberg had been delivering hours of emotional testimony against Jones on Tuesday, stopping himself repeatedly when his voice started cracking. When Joness attorney Norm Pattis took over questioning, he veered toward a turning point in his clients career: his endorsement and interview of former President Donald Trump.

Since Jones had peddled misinformation for decades about everything from the Oklahoma City bombing to the 9/11 attacks, it immediately sparked backlash, but Pattiss questioning intimated that outrage over his clients broadcasts calling Sandy Hook a hoax was all about election-year rhetoric. Judge Barbara Bellis quickly sustained one objection about the relevance of a question about Hillary Clinton.

Once the subject matter turned to Megyn Kellysinterview of Jones on NBC News, the judge instructed the jury to leave the room and a blistering exchange followed. Pattis defended the line of questioning.

Its our contention that this issue was largely dead until Hillary Clinton made a campaign issue of it in 2016, he told the judge, who indicated that the matter had been settled and Pattis lost.

I already ruled on the issue, and were moved on from that, Bellis said. So now, you just talked about Megyn Kelly. So lets address Megyn Kelly.

With respect to Megyn Kelly, given the nature of the argument that the plaintiffs made here, its our contention we are entitled to put on exaggeration, as a defense, Pattis said. When Megyn Kelly and NBC did an interview with Jones in 2017, a number of Connecticut residents petitioned local affiliates to not air the 2017 interview with Jones. I want to know what this man [Aldenberg] is one of them.

Attorney Chris Mattei, who represents Aldenberg and eight families of Sandy Hook victims, said that there was no good faith basis to ask that question and that Pattis had no evidence that his client was part of that group.

The larger issue here, which is what attorney Pattis is trying to inject into this case is some sort of echo of what he made the centerpiece of his opening, which is that this lawsuit is an effort to silence Mr. Jones, Mattei said. He was trying to get in through Mr. Aldenberg that some unnamed group of people have been involved in sending a letter to NBC for one specific purpose: And that is to try and inject some sort of political argument to the jury, which is impermissible.

Before trial began, Jones had three default judgments entered against him in Sandy Hook-related cases for failing to turn over discovery to the plaintiffs. That effectively meant that Jones had lost the cases before they began, and the juries sole task was to determine how much he owed in damages. A Texas jury already found Jones owed millions to two Sandy Hook parents. The Connecticut trial to determine what he owes eight other families and Alderman began Tuesday.

The day ended with testimony by Carlee SotoParisi, who wept as she recalled how she learned about the death of her sister Victoria Leigh Soto, a teacher at Sandy Hook elementary school who was one of the 28 people killed during the massacre. Trial continues on Wednesday.
