Is Jim Webb Set to Run Against Hillary Clinton as an Independent?

Is Jim Webb Set to Run Against Hillary Clinton as an Independent?

There’s no doubt that Donald Trump has thrown the GOP presidential sweepstakes into a tizzy. But is former Democratic presidential candidate Jim Webb about to do the same to the Democratic party?

Webb dropped out of the contention for the Democratic nomination in October after the first presidential debate, saying the process was rigged towards a nomination win for Hillary Clinton. Now the former Virginia senator has taken to social media to bash Hillary Clinton’s ‘inept leadership’ in Libya, due to the debacle in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. Furthermore, he is now pondering an independent bid for the presidency.

On December 19, Webb tempted political followers by tweeting the possibility of an independent run.

Then on Saturday, December 26, Webb castigated Hillary in this tweet, citing her ‘failed leadership’ in Libya and the Arab Spring, calling them ‘foreign policy leadership at its worst.’

He also took to Facebook to rip her in a lengthy post.

In his Facebook condemnation, Webb wrote that “Hillary Clinton should be called to account for her inept leadership that brought about the chaos in Libya, and the power vacuums that resulted in the rest of the region.”

He continued: “She’ll need better answers than the recent nonsensical comment that she advocated taking out Muammar Qadaffi in Libya in order to avert a situation like Syria,” he said. “The predictable chaos in Libya was bad enough, but it also helped bring about the disaster in Syria. Who is taking her to task for this?”
