Former Secretary of State and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton delivered a message of resilience and persistence to the Yale 2018 graduating class on Sunday.
(snip)
Clinton told the students that they have “already demonstrated the character and courage” that will help them “navigate this tumultuous moment,” and that they must continue to exhibit this resilient behavior.
“Everyone gets knocked down, what matters is whether you get up and keep going,” she continued. “This may be hard for a group of Yale soon-to-be graduates to accept, but yes, you will make mistakes in life, you will even fail, it happens to all of us no matter how qualified and capable we are. Take it from me.”
But Clinton expressed optimism about “just how tough” America has already proven to be.
This ability to get back up when you’re down is not sufficient, however. Clinton also told the students to practice “radical empathy.”
“Healing our country is going to take, what I call, radical empathy,” she said. Even in times of great polarization, “as hard as it is, this is a moment to reach across divides of race, class and politics. To try to see the world through the eyes of people very different from ourselves and to return to rational debate, to find a way to disagree without being disagreeable, to try to recapture a sense of community and common humanity.”

Of course, Clinton didn’t miss the opportunity to poke a little fun as well.
Noting the Yale tradition of wearing an over-the-top hat on Class Day, Clinton pulled out one of her own—a Russian one.
“I brought a hat too. A Russian hat,” she told the crowd. “I mean, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em,” she said, while raising a furry black Ushanka hat for everyone to see.

What an odious woman.
“What a clown.”
What an @ssclown.
Fixed it for you! :)
would somebody please LOCK HER UP!!!
That woman defines vapid and clueless.
As such, she was indeed an ideal candidate for a democrat president.
Thankfully for the woman’s movement, over 99;99% of females are blessed with higher intelligence and more morality than the Hillabeast.
Does anyone need further evidence that this alcoholic career criminal and global extortionist is stark raving mad? The salvation of our Republic may well be delivered as a result of Clinton, Waters, Pelosi and Schumer, along with their media flying monkey’s obsession with running their mouths like broken pay toilets. As the noose of truth tightens around their traitorous necks, one can expect that they’ll only squeal louder and with greater desperation. Beware their ability to orchestrate a violent, nationwide false-flag crisis. It’s always been in their playbook, so keep your powder dry.
How does "radical empathy" square with "deplorables" and "stupid people"? The only empathy Hillary has is for Hillary. She has many of the personality traits of a psychopath.
“Radical empathy” Is that the same thing as a Presidential pardon from Trump? Clinton would be much better off using some of that bribe money to hire good criminal lawyers.
“to find a way to disagree without being disagreeable,”
Like name-calling people “racists” and “deplorable”, and all kinds of other names. Hitlery is such a childish piece of sh*t.
...a few tiny felonies here and there wouldn't hurt either.
OK.
So maybe a LOT of felonies might be appropriate...
@$$clown she is.
> they have “already demonstrated the character and courage” that will help them “navigate this tumultuous moment” <
I’ll tell you what a “tumultuous moment” is. It’s having to sit and listen to Hillary as she whines and complains.
No empathy for the babies that are burned by chemicals or ripped limb from limb in abortion, however...
>>“I brought a hat too. A Russian hat,” she told the crowd.
Made from genuine Swamp Rat.
"no matter how qualified and capable"? Now that right there is funny. I don't care who you are.
Typical islamist, Ivy League drivel.
Hubristic Hillary
Maybe Radical Empathy is a brand of bourbon …that’s the only way this makes any sense.
