John Heilemann: Clinton ‘Deplorables’ Remark Close to ‘Dictionary Definition of Bigoted’

On ABC’s This Week this morning, John Heilemann said Hillary Clinton‘s “deplorables” remark gives ammo for Donald Trump to attack her as bigoted.

Heilemann said that it certainly helps for Clinton to apologize quickly, given Trump’s reluctance to ever do that for anything.

However, he went on to say this:

“Donald Trump has attacked her as a bigot over and over again, right? And before this moment, there was never a time in which you could kind of justify that, where she had said anything that actually kind of met the dictionary definition of bigoted. This comment kind of gets very close to the dictionary definition of bigoted.

Hildabeast has a lonnnnng record of making racist comments. She has had several people say she used “Jew-boy” and “Ni99er” quite often.

This has all been known since the mid-90’s.

For John Heilmann — a dedicated liberal — to say this, it exposes just how heinous her comment was.

Between this, and her health, I do not see how the Democrats don’t move to replace her.

“Between this, and her health, I do not see how the Democrats don’t move to replace her.”

She won’t go even though she’s circling the drain. At least I hope she won’t go. She’s a weak candidate against Trump, and we need that.

This means....Hillary’s voter count is at it’s highmark....no Trump supporters can be wooed to vote for her

On the other hand...this gives Trump an even better opportunity to woo undecideds or even Clinton supporters to vote for him.

She really showed what is on the inside of her. And they always do it in front of their wealthy donors.... because they are all on the same page.

Right. I think we share that opinion. I wrote a quick one-off about it.

Yup. And on the inside of her supporters.

They can bump her anytime they want. She is very vulnerable.

Oh Hillary, wouldn’t it be awful if the DOJ took another look at your email scandal? We wouldn’t want that to happen. How’s your health? Might want to consider dropping out for health reasons.

Sincerely, BO

Just yesterday I was called a “bigot” by a liberal couple, because in a conversation about gay marriage (of course they were “for”) I remarked that if I were a parent I wouldn’t want my kids around a gay couple or that environment.

The wife (herself childless) said she wouldn’t want to be around people like me — minds that hate.

“Hate?” I exclaimed. “Am I waving banners? Throwing stones?”

“No,” she replied, “but other people do.”

Somehow she feels free to place me among “other people.” Apparently social distance from certain groups equals hate. Never mind that she herself feels free to choose her crowd. And God forbid if I accuse her of a double standard.

This is like a Latina wanting to be with people of her own language & culture, but a white male is automatically a racist or bigot simply by being around people like himself.

While Hillary denigrates Trump supporters for low intelligence, I have found that these “elites” have a veneer of intellectuality but incredible lack of logic. She is what someone once called an “intellectual boob” — distorted thinking.
