Hillary Clinton has lashed out at US President Donald Trump and his administration, while speaking at a graduation ceremony at Hunter College. She embarked on her anti-Trump tirade over his refusal to condemn Russia for alleged meddling in the 2016 elections, something that Moscow vehemently denies. Clinton claimed that the recently published Mueller report proved that the rule of law in America was under attack from Russia.
"There may not be tanks in our streets, but make no mistake we are witnessing an assault on the rule of law and the foundations of our democracy", she said.
Clinton later continued her anti-Trump tirade on Twitter, accusing him of breaking his presidential oath "every day".
"The president hasn't just refused to condemn a foreign power that attacked our democracy. He's also failed to protect the country's voting systems against future attacks", she said.

Most Twitterians, however, were not impressed with Clinton turning her speech at the college into a political stage to criticise her opponent Donald Trump to gain some political points.
A political rally at a college commencement? Seriously? Hopefully I’m not the only one that sees how delusional they are with all their babble and twisting of facts...

What happened to graduation speeches that were actually about the graduates?
— Kim Yeager (@kimyeags) May 29, 2019
Many of them suggested that political speeches are not something the graduates wanted to hear on their special day.
That’s the inspirational BS I’d want to hear at my graduation...said no one ever...

Numerous netizens agreed with Hillary Clinton that US democracy was under attack, but parted with her on views regarding the source of the assault.
It’s true there are assaults to our democracy, it’s @HillaryClinton

Social media users suggested that it was about time to start investigating Clinton's own alleged misdeeds for a change, such as the Democratic National Committee financing the creation of the notorious Steele dossier, which was used as "dirt" against Trump during the 2016 elections.
Maybe he should have the doj investigate her dossier purchase

Some Twitterians suggested that her graduation speech at Hunter College is just another attempt to stay relevant as she struggles with denial over losing the presidential elections.
HRC at this point in history is totally irrelevant MAGA 🇺🇸💕🇺🇸

Hillary is a salty person, she lost and refuses to accept it. Trump lives in her mind rent free!

Several netizens, however, supported her accusations against the US president, claiming that he would never condemn Moscow, despite the 22-month-long Mueller investigation results clearly indicating that Trump never conspired with Russia to win the elections.
He will never condemn the people who helped him win the presidency. That would both challenge his legitimacy and put him at odds with his Russian loansharks . . .

That’s because we have a fake president 😡

Mueller reiterated his report's conclusions during his first public statement about the investigation, saying that the evidence found indicated "systematic" attempts to meddle in the 2016 US presidential elections. At the same time, his report concluded that there had been no "broader conspiracy", involving Trump and his campaign, to affect the election’s outcome.
Despite the report not accusing Trump of any misdeeds and Mueller refusing to make any additional statements supplementing it, Democratic lawmakers have vowed to continue probing US President Donald Trump about various allegations, which so far have proven to be groundless.

Following the loss in 2016, Hillary Clinton has repeatedly claimed that the election was "stolen" from her by Russia, WikiLeaks' publication of DNC's documents and former FBI chief Comey, who initiated an investigation into her use of a private email server, which hasn't resulted in any charges.
