Hillary Clinton, excuse-maker-in-chief, uses her new book to reference George Orwell’s dystopian novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984), and warn against Trump’s created realities.

As she puts it in What Happened, “Attempting to define reality is a core feature of authoritarianism … this is what happens in George Orwell’s classic novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, when a torturer holds up four fingers and delivers electric shocks until his prisoner sees five fingers as ordered. The goal is to make you question logic and reason and to sow mistrust towards exactly the people we need to rely on: our leaders, the press, experts who seek to guide public policy based on evidence, ourselves.”
