Unnamed sources told conservative media site The American Spectator that Hillary Clinton went into a “rage” on election night after it was evident she was going to lose to Donald Trump.
She screamed obscenities, punched furniture and threw things at staff, secret service officers told the news site’s source.
“They’re still counting votes, and every vote should count,” Podesta said in the early hours of Nov. 9, subbing in for Clinton on the stage at the end of election night, while her loyal followers awaited word. “Several states are too close to call, so we’re not going to have anything more to say tonight.”
Clinton’s anger may have been fuelled by what happened days before, as her camp was starting to realize that a loss was possible.
Sources told the Daily Mail that Clinton and husband Bill had a huge fight on the phone. Bill was reportedly seen throwing his phone off the roof of his penthouse in Arkansas.
“I was with Bill in Little Rock when he had this shouting match with Hillary on the phone and she accused (FBI Director James) Comey for reviving the investigation into her use of a private email server and reversing her campaign’s momentum,” a source told the Daily Mail. “He told me in early October that Hillary and her advisers were blowing it.”
Spectator editor-in-chief R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr. told conservative news site Breitbart that he wasn’t surprised to hear about Hillary Clinton’s temper tantrum.
“In the ’90s, we published several pieces that documented her throwing lamps and books,” he told Breitbart.
“This happened pretty often. She has such a foul mouth that the Arkansas state troopers learned a thing or two from her. She has a foul mouth and a good throwing arm.”
Almost 20 years ago, The American Spectator published its “Troopergate stories” that detailed Bill’s escapades as told by his Arkansas security detail. The stories also referenced Paula Jones, a former Arkansas state employee who sued Bill for sexual harassment. |
