Hillary Clinton has been ripped as tone deaf after she recently suggested white men of a “certain religion” were partly to blame for causing “such damage” to the United States.
The former secretary of state was accused of spreading “evil” after she made the remarks on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” last week.
“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,” Clinton said.
“We were on the path to that… We were on the right trajectory.”
The backlash against her was swift with some on social media blasting her for spreading more hate — especially in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination in Utah on Sept. 10.
“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,” one person tweeted.
“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,” another raged on X.
“The spread of evil continues,” one X user said.
Another ripped Clinton for not sounding “very egalitarian.”
“Would she like us to assume that, while the contributions of all Americans are welcome, some are more welcome than others?” the person added.
Elsewhere in the interview, Clinton also suggested that some conservatives wanted to “turn the clock back” on equality.
“Some people are actually scared about what’s going on in our country,” she said.
“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.”
The Heritage Foundation’s vice president of domestic policy, Roger Severino, was quick to slam Clinton’s remarks, telling Fox News she was out of touch.
“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,” Severino said.
“At least it confirms what we all suspected, that Hillary still believes millions of Americans belong in her ‘basket of deplorables’ based on their sex, race, and sincere religious beliefs.”
