Hillary Clinton, speaking at the United States Capitol Thursday to unveil a portrait of outgoing senator Harry Reid, called “fake news” a “danger” to the country.
“Let me just mention, briefly, one threat in particular that should concern all Americans,” Clinton said. “The epidemic of malicious, fake news and false propaganda that flooded social media over the past year, it’s now clear that so-called fake news can have real-world consequences.”
The 2016 Democratic nominee said fake news, which Clinton equated with “foreign propaganda”, is putting “lives at risk.”
