Bill Clinton suggested that people who backed Brexit did not understand the impact of their vote as he accepted an honorary degree in Ireland on Tuesday.

The former US President told Dublin City University that voters are only just starting to understand the consequences of leaving the European Union.

Mimicking a voter, he said: 'Oh my God, I didn't know I was going to lose that customs thing and all these economic benefits. Why didn't anyone tell me that?'

He also told the audience that Britain's decision to leave the EU was motivated by people focusing on differences, rather than similarities

Mr Clinton warned about inequalities and divisions spreading around the world, saying: 'Now there are lots of people who think they are less human.....

“focusing on differences”

They do not want to kill the Muslims, but the Muslims want to kill them.

this is typical liberal elitist horse blank.

Liberals frequently mock others, who allegedly don’t know how to vote, and/or don’t know what or who they are voting for.

It’s the “What’s The Matter With Kansas” concept, in which liberals claim that voters in places such as Kansas, vote Republican in contradiction to their own interests.

Of course, who decides what their interests are? Why the “knowledgeble” elitist liberals of course.

These same elitist liberals, will take the black vote for granted, and assume that 90+% of the black vote will go for a Democrat. They don’t say “What’s The Matter With The South Side of Chicago”, when analyzing strong Democrat voting patterns there.

A case could be made that the black Democrat voters, in voting en masse for Democrats, are not voting for their own best interests. But the liberals are not interested in such an analysis. The only analyses they will do will be cases in which some groups vote Republican.

Of course Bill Clinton would say this. He’s a Rhodes Scholar (which creates a globalist mindset) and student of Dr Carroll Quigley, author of “Tragedy and Hope”. Rhodes was head of the Rhodes Round Table who’s goal was to create a Global Govt’ headed by England and Quigley was it’s mid-20th century historian.

Every time the Euro ministers make a decision or even open their mouths it becomes clearer that the British did the right thing. And oh the lies that the left made to try and sway the vote.

EU is an evil organization whose primary goal appears to be to destroy cultural and ethnic identities of European countries and to destroy Christianity and to promote Islam.

Bill Clinton mocks Brexit voters

Millions of those Brexit voters are old and/or handicapped - of which fact Mr. Clinton can't help but be aware.

He was not speaking "off the cuff" - but was instead delivering a prepared speech. Mr. Clinton thus did knowingly and with malice aforethought mock millions of the Elderly and the Handicapped.

Mr. Clinton is thus much worse than other politicians who may have once ridiculed the ignorance of a reporter who happened to be physically handicapped.

Regards,

I guess lecturing a foreign country on how they’ve got it all wrong is only bad form when a Republican does it.

What are these two elderly criminals from Arkansas doing harassing the English? Haven’t they perpetrated enough evil in their younger days?

Wow, remember when Bill Clinton got kicked out of England for raping someone? No wonder he hates England.
