Clinton will not step out of the spotlight. But now it’s hurting the Left.
Because she gave away the Democrat playbook with one boneheaded slip of the tongue.
Hillary Clinton once again rushed to the defense of Vice President Kamala Harris, claiming there was no need for Harris to clarify her policy positions, despite growing concerns from voters and media scrutiny. Predictably, Clinton played the “double standard” card, a favorite tactic to deflect legitimate criticism.
“She does not have to do it, Kara. I’m going to just cut to the chase,” Clinton asserted during a chat with journalist and podcast host Kara Swisher on the On with Kara Swisher podcast this week.
“In fact, she’s put out policies on her campaign website. Anybody who’s truly interested can go and read about them. She referenced policies. She actually doesn’t just have policies and concepts. She has plans about what to do,” Clinton insisted, pointing to Harris’ recently added policy page — a lackluster effort that many voters have found uninspiring at best.
Clinton went further, attempting to dismiss any criticism of Harris as a s*xist double standard.
“I think it’s, um, you know, it’s a double standard, and it’s a double standard that is partly because they are still getting to know her. But also because they’re still grappling with the idea like, ‘Oh, am I really going to vote for a woman to be president and commander in chief?’” she continued, trotting out tired arguments that ignore Harris’ own shortcomings as a candidate.
“This is particularly true, let’s just say it and underline it, about White women [voters],” Clinton added, once again trying to shift the blame for Harris’ struggles onto voters instead of the VP’s record or inability to connect with the electorate.
A clip from the podcast was shared by Grabien founder Tom Elliott on X, showcasing Clinton’s predictable defenses.
Fox News Digital reached out to Clinton’s office for comment, though nothing substantial was offered.
The reality remains that Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, have been dodging serious media scrutiny, only granting a mere 13 formal interviews since stepping into the 2024 race.
In stark contrast, former President Trump and his running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, have already fielded 54 interviews during the same period, showing a stark difference in media engagement.
Clinton wasn’t done yet. She had even more criticisms to lob at the media, particularly regarding coverage of President Trump. During an MSNBC appearance with far-Left host Rachel Maddow, Clinton expressed her dissatisfaction with how the press handles Trump.
“The press is still not able to cover Trump the way that they should,” she complained.
“They careen from one outrage to the next… I don’t understand why it’s so difficult for the press to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is,” Clinton added, sounding like a broken record as she called for a unified media attack against the former president.
She even invoked the late journalist Harry Evans, urging journalists to zero in on Trump, claiming his “demagoguery” and “danger” required relentless focus.
Clinton’s rant came on the heels of a disturbing second assassination attempt against Trump.
On Sunday, Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was arrested after being spotted allegedly aiming a rifle at Trump while the former president was playing golf at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Routh’s social media pages were filled with echoes of Biden and Harris’ inflammatory rhetoric, parroting their claims that “Democracy is on the ballot” and stressing that Democrats “cannot lose.”
This follows another near-tragedy in July, when Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt while hosting a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Despite these violent threats, Clinton seems more focused on pushing her narrative than addressing the real dangers Trump continues to face.
