Democrats distance themselves from Hillary Clinton’s ‘backward’ claim
Washington Post ^ | March 13, 2018 | Michael Scherer

Democratic senators facing tough reelection fights distanced themselves Tuesday from Hillary Clinton after she said President Trump’s voters came from less productive parts of the country and were attracted by a backward-looking message. “Those are kind of fighting words for me, because I’m partial to Missouri voters,” said Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), who is running in a state Trump won by 19 points. “I think they were expressing their frustration with the status quo. I may not have agreed with their choice, but I certainly respect them. And I don’t think that’s the way you should talk about any voter especially ones in my state.” Clinton made the comments Saturday at a conference in Mumbai in response to a question about how Trump won the 2016 election. She noted that the parts of the country she carried produced more economic activity than the “middle” of the country won by Trump.

Clinton’s statement demonstrated her already well documented hatred and contempt for America’s middle class normals in fly over country who she obviously considers “backwards”

In Hillary speak, backwards seems to be defined as voters who refused to join her cult of personality and rejected her enlightened self as supreme leader and supreme being

Ironic considering on how she relied so heavily on underclass voters and the low information, functionally illiterate votes and the votes of illegal and legal aliens who uneducated and who are illiterate in their own native language and culture, not to mention English language and American culture

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), is still lying. She does NOT respect the voters who did not vote for Hillary.

Better to have her throw her vitriol and bile as a DEFEATED presidential candidate (and bitter sore loser) than as President, which she and her minions in the media fully expected to happen. A nasty, vile old woman.

They keep Hillary in the headlines to keep all distracted from their deep state activities. She is now being suffered and put on display as an attractive fool to decoy the masses.

She will soon be of little value.....

Nice examples of liberal spin and shading in this article, like repeatedly accusing the Republicans of “falsely” saying that Hillary had called the people of Ohio or Michigan “backward.” She didn’t say verbatim, “Ohio and Michigan residents are backward,” but she made it abundantly clear that that’s exactly what she meant. As always with the biased left media, they are outraged over how Republicans reacted to some horrible thing Democrats did, but never over the horrible thing Democrats did.

The coat is not burlap! She swiped it off an old Kirby vacuum cleaner. It’s a vacuum cleaner bag repurposed as a garment.

She’s always wearing something that’s a cross between an oven mitt and a muumuu.

Did the ho actually claim that American women were “forced” by their husbands and boyfriends to vote for President Trump and that they were too stupid to cast a vote for Clintoonie in the privacy of the voter booth where they husbands and boyfriends would not have known who she actually voted for? Hey women! Clintoonie thinks you’re an idiot! My wife said she voted for Trump but I have no way of proving that she did. I haven’t a clue who the hell she voted for. Clintoonie lost the election. She doesn’t need to blame it on American women.

Hillary has access to millions of dollars in graft and kickbacks to spend but she can't even dress herself properly.

Yet she thinks she's ready to rule the world.

McCaskill will vote with Schumer every time, but they will all talk like Republicans this year.

It’s a vacuum cleaner bag re-purposed as a garment.

Shades of Carol Burnett's skit "Went With the Wind," and her words, "I saw it hanging in the window and I just had to have it.", just wafted through my mind! I actually chuckled!

Of course she is lying. She is a rat 🐀
All politicians lie, but the rats have raised it to an art form.
