WASHINGTON, D.C. Mar. 14 (DPI) – Hilary Clinton made a passage to India this week, and there she gave a talk to the local press that seemed to re-confirm a deep contempt for many American voters – even those who thought little of her opponent in the 2016 election.
Reports of Mrs. Clinton’s remarks leaked well beyond the Trump-supporting opinion pages of the Wall Street Journal, to more moderate pages like The Washington Post. They have since ricocheted around the internet the last few days. About the only place you won’t find them is on nytimes.com, which ignored her comments.
According to Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker, Mrs. Clinton told Indian journalists the following:
She started out by reiterating her disdain for those who failed to recognize her virtues, saying that she won in places “that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward,” compared with Trump voters who are always looking “backwards.” Then, mockingly, talking to “those people” who voted for him, she continued: “You know you didn’t like black people getting rights, you don’t like women, you know, getting jobs, you don’t want to, you know, see Indian Americans succeeding more than you are.”
Yikes. So, the people who voted for Trump resent Indian Americans’ success? Funny, because surely her audience was aware that the president selected Indian American Nikki Haley to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. And it’s a good bet they knew Haley had previously been serving her second term as the governor of South Carolina, where she was the first woman and ethnic minority to be elected governor in the state’s history. Such a lack of awareness, combined with Clinton’s clear disdain for millions of Americans whom she would have served as president, confirms she shouldn’t have won after all.
Mrs. Clinton went on to say that many white women were told by their husbands to vote for her opponent. All of her remarks came across as spiteful and foolhardy, even for someone who has no further political ambitions.
The Wall Street Journal couldn’t resist offering up an editorial on the matter, concluding: “Democrats may think Mr. Trump is unfit to be President, but maybe they should take responsibility for nominating a candidate who had such contempt for so many Americans.”
Comments from readers across the internet suggested that Democrats had better distance themselves from Mrs. Clinton, and make sure they don’t field a candidate who is as divisive as Trump. As one poster put it: “It’s historic. Hillary is the only one who could lose to Trump and Trump is the only one who could win against Hillary. Talk about Irony!”
Among those comments from WSJ.com:
I’m a conservative who was and is ashamed of Trump, but I voted for him … and will again if the Democrats nominate someone like Hillary in 2020.
I like her being out there though because the more she talks, the more she exposes her true self and I feel safer every time she opens her mouth that she’s not our president.
What in the world is the matter with this woman that she doesn’t learn to stay down and out of the way? Masochist. The people of India are just as smart as people anywhere else, they were polite, they listened and then chuckled and winked on the way out the door realizing that the people of America voted the way they did for a good reason. She just doesn’t realize it.
What she and Liberals don’t realize is that every time they remind us how bad Trump is, it’s an even larger indictment of her as a candidate, politician and human at large.
It’s historic. Hillary is the only one who could lose to Trump and Trump is the only one who could win against Hillary. Talk about Irony!
Notwithstanding how bad Trump often is (eg, tariffs), we all should thank him profusely for preventing Hillary from becoming president. Trump was the only Republican who could defeat Hillary, and Hillary was the only Democrat who could lose to Trump.
Evidently I am a deplorable because I did not support Ms. Clinton. Evidently, it does not matter that I am a retired University Professor, a Fulbright Fellow, Attorney at Law, and now CEO of a start up company in China. It was obvious to me, and to my fellow deplorables, that Ms. Clinton’s only reason for running for President was that she could be the first woman President. She is a woman lacking in integrity, morals, and any sense of the problems facing our great country. What is most unfortunate is that my only choice was Donald Trump. That is the fault of both political parties for nominating candidates that were not fit for office. I merely chose the lesser of two evils.
