Will Hillary ever learn? It doesn’t look like it.
Because she just dug herself deep into a hole with one moronic statement.
Clinton’s Remarks Spark Controversy Over Religious and Racial Rhetoric
Hillary Clinton has drawn sharp criticism for comments made during an appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, where she pointed to white men of a “certain religion” as contributing to significant harm in the United States.
The former secretary of state’s remarks have been labeled by critics as disconnected from the current national mood, particularly in light of recent events.
Clinton stated, “The idea that you could turn the clock back and try to recreate a world that never was dominated by, you know, let’s say it: white men of a certain persuasion, a certain religion, a certain point of view, a certain ideology, it’s just doing such damage to what we should be aiming for.”
She added, “We were on the path to that … We were on the right trajectory.” Her words have ignited a firestorm of debate, with detractors arguing they exacerbate division at a sensitive time.
Social Media Backlash Highlights Tensions
The response on platforms like X was immediate and pointed, with users accusing Clinton of fueling animosity, particularly following the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk in Utah on September 10. One X post read, “Two weeks after Charlie Kirk is assassinated, Hillary Clinton reminds everyone that white Christian men are dangerous and doing damage to America. These people have no intention of turning down the temperature. They know they’re encouraging what happened.”
Another user expressed alarm, stating, “Hillary Clinton makes yet another case for violence against white Christian men — the constant drumbeat against huge segments of the population is dehumanizing and dangerous. Her focus on Christianity is chilling — especially given the fact that she can’t bring herself to even name the religion.”
Others described her comments as “the spread of evil” or lacking the egalitarian spirit expected from a public figure, with one asking, “Would she like us to assume that, while the contributions of all Americans are welcome, some are more welcome than others?”
Clinton’s Critique and Conservative Pushback
Beyond the focus on white men, Clinton also suggested that some conservative factions aim to reverse progress on equality.
“Some people are actually scared about what’s going on in our country,” she remarked, adding, “The idea of we the people, that all men and women are created equal, that seems to be in the crosshairs of those on the right who want to turn the clock back on the progress that has been made, writing out huge chunks of our history, slavery, suffrage, anything inconvenient, you know, take it out of museums, take it out of national parks.”
Roger Severino, vice president of domestic policy at The Heritage Foundation, responded sharply to Clinton’s statements on Fox News.
“It’s beyond tone-deaf for Hillary to proclaim that conservative white Christian men are what’s wrong with America while the nation mourns the loss of Charlie Kirk,” he said. Severino further argued that her remarks reflect a lingering belief that millions of Americans fall into her “basket of deplorables” due to their gender, race, and faith. The controversy points to ongoing tensions over how public figures address issues of identity and history in a deeply polarized nation.
