Hillary Clinton accused the MAGA movement of transforming “savagery” into a moral value, arguing in a sweeping new essay the idea that “compassion is weak and cruelty is strong” has become an “article of MAGA faith” – which she warned has become a “rallying cry” to Christian nationalism.
In a 6,000-word article published in The Atlantic on Friday, titled “MAGA’s War on Empathy”, Clinton framed recent federal actions in Minnesota as a turning point that exposes what she called a deeper ethical breakdown within President Donald Trump’s movement.
She opened by describing her reaction to video footage showing the killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday, comparing him to the biblical parable of the good Samaritan.
“Jesus tells us to love our neighbors as ourselves and help those in need,” she wrote. “Not in Donald Trump’s America.”
According to Clinton, such incidents reveal that fear has become the central objective of federal enforcement under the current administration, rather than public safety or justice, writing: “Trump and his allies believe that the more inhumane the treatment, the more likely it is to spread fear. That’s the goal of surging heavily armed federal forces into blue states such as Minnesota and Maine – street theater of the most dangerous kind.”
“The savagery is a feature, not a bug,” she later added of the MAGA movement.
In a central focus of the essay, moving beyond Minnesota, Clinton argued “the glorification of cruelty and rejection of compassion” she claims is evident in Trump’s policies appeals most to “a cadre of hard-right ‘Christian influencers’” that she argued are waging a “war on empathy.”

So Clinton is focus testing a new Democrat media talking point
The Big mouth Clintoon who escaped prison for over 70 years. She’s a POS crook.
Is this THE Hillary Clinton talking about empathy? LOL!
So much hate. She doesn’t care about the illegals, she cares about the fraudulent democrat vote we are deporting.
This is what happens if you don’t lock people up.
Barf alert.
John Lott has shown the mistakes in arresting U.S. Citizens were three times the rate under the Obama administration than they have been under the Trump administration.
In other words, ICE is more than three times as careful during the Trump administration than they were under the Obama administration.
From the New York Post article:
“Let’s set the baseline: Between the president’s Jan. 20, 2025 inauguration and the end of November, Trump’s administration arrested an extraordinary total of 595,000 illegal aliens and deported 605,000.
.
The 170 ICE-detained US citizens cited in Stanage’s diatribe included about 130 arrested for interfering with or assaulting officers, according to the left-leaning ProPublica — justifiable under any reading of the law.
.
Only about 40 or so of those who were detained claimed to be US citizens accidentally or erroneously arrested by ICE.
.
But just half of those people were held for more than a day; most were released in a few hours.
.
Any error is serious, but 40 mistakes out of 595,000 arrests amounts to an error rate of just 0.0067% — roughly one wrongful detention for every 14,925 arrests.
.
Compare that with the final two years of President Barack Obama’s administration.
.
In fiscal years 2015 and 2016, ICE recorded 263 mistaken arrests, 54 mistaken detentions (book-ins), and four mistaken removals.
.
During those two years, ICE made a mere 239,645 arrests, meaning the 54 mistaken detentions alone produced an Obama error rate of 0.0225% —about one mistake for every 4,444 arrests.
.
Overall, the error rate under Obama was 3.36 times higher than under Trump.”
“compassion is weak and cruelty is strong”
This a perfect talking point for women and beta men voters.
Says the woman who ripped off Haitians money.
4 star general in the communist revolution saying what needs to be heard by the communist street thugs.
She’s part of the revolution.
Nothing more needs to be said so much so much as it needs to be accepted.
There is a communist revolution happening in front of us all.
Hillary can deal out savagery...in spades.
From the the Queen of Arkanside.
She called me deplorable and a “bitter clinger” ... now, apparently, I’m savage.
Cool.
Didn’t she plan to force all medical students, regardless of religious conviction, to perform at least one abortion in order to get their MD?
Soft spines and weak bleeding hearts are not going to save our nation or our civilization
I am rooting for her colostomy bag! (Sepsis)
