Beyond Oak Park: Hillary Clinton speaks after election, calls fake news an ‘epidemic’

She cited a recent incident: a shooting inside a Washington pizza shop that was spun into a fake conspiracy story. “[It’s] not about politics or partisanship. Lives are at risk. Lives of ordinary people just trying to go about their days to do their jobs, contribute to their communities,” Clinton said. Read more from Fox News.
