Hillary Clinton Receives Ovation at ‘The Color Purple’
The New York Times ^ | January 8, 2017 | Michael Paulson and Michael Barbaro

Hillary Clinton, who has kept a relatively low public profile since losing the presidential election two months ago, on Sunday showed up at the final performance of the Broadway revival of “The Color Purple,” reveling in the story of a beleaguered woman who triumphs over the oppressive men in her life (and, along the way, discovers a love for colorful pants).

Mrs. Clinton, accompanied by her husband, former President Bill Clinton, and their daughter, Chelsea, received several ovations from the sold-out audience as she arrived, and then another round of applause when she was acknowledged by the cast after the show.

“There’s a lot of really awesome famous and notable people here today,” the actress Patrice Covington, who gave the farewell speech on behalf of the cast after the show, said to the audience. “I’m not going to call all of them out — I know you already know them,” she said, before pausing, looking in Mrs. Clinton’s direction, and waving at her mischievously. At that, the audience erupted into a new, loud round of applause.

The reaction was substantially warmer than the scattered booing and clapping that greeted the arrival of Vice President-elect Mike Pence when he attended “Hamilton,” just one block north, on Nov. 18.

“We love you Hillary,” some audience members shouted. Several thanked Mrs. Clinton and told her, “God bless you.”

“God bless you,” Mrs. Clinton replied....

Yes indeed - God bless you all - and to all of you a Good Night. Keep patting yourselves on the back. While you’re doing that we’ll run the country.

Ovation for what exactly? For destroying millions of lives in Libya? For enabling a rapist and trying to frame a Presidential candidate for sexual assault? For taking bribes from terror sponsoring countries? For being involved in possible espionage? For stealing aid money from Haiti? Just one more reason why I hate the living freakin’ guts out of New York city. I grew up there and you could not pay me enough to ever go back, just thinking of going back gets me nauseous. They’ll lecture Mike Pence at a Broadway show, but this FELON gets a standing ovation.

Hillary’s legs look like sausages that were left in the sun to rot, fatty, greasy, swollen, and unhealthy.

eveling in the story of a beleaguered woman who triumphs over the oppressive men in her life (and, along the way, discovers a love for colorful pants). >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

No more scrofulous couple than the Clintons has ever graced the public stage.

Time to insert them both into the dustbin of History. Both are assassins of the first order, killers whose personal ends justify and means.

If this drunk bobblehead on meds had her way, we would all be forced to wear Norky uniforms in purple like she was wearing in honor of her “appearance” at the “event in her honor” and then all stand and clap her like at those Kim Jong-un Norky rubs.

Do these disgusting “party members” realize that they are not too far removed from a Kim Jong-un “clap”? Yet anyone who ends up employed as one of her underlings soon hates her,, it was underlings of her own staff who hacked the emails becsuse they hate this elitist abusive drunk on meds.

And if Hillart gets much fatter she will look like Kim. May the “Great Leader” Live Long - not.

Anyway she won’t be around in 2020 in my opinion, she is just one medical emergency away even if she doesn’t realize it because her feaeful slaves keep telling her she’s “fine, just fine” but she isn’t. And pretty much everyone says, Bill Clinton has HIV and the cocktail of expensive meds that have kept him alive are not working anymore. So not only are these two political careers zippo, soon their health is as well as they are more than 1/2 way in the grave but are told so much bs by bots they don’t fully realize it themselves.

Cheer on, you freaks. Clap.

The leftists are apologizing to HRC because they believed the faux polling data and thought they had it in the bag, didn’t vote, quaffing designer vino and select cheeses while writhing in 1000 count Egyptian sheets with adult toys and badly worn copies of 50 shades... only to wake up with hangovers that haven’t abated to date.
