In an attempt to criticize President Trump for how he is handling the escalating tension with North Korea, Hillary Clinton embarrassed herself by demonstrating she knows little about the Korean peninsula.
During an interview on "The Rachel Maddow Show," the failed 2016 presidential candidate said "The president has basically insulted and attacked South Korea. South Korea is literally, you know, within miles of the border with North Korea. They would be so at risk if something were done by Kim Jong Un."
Of course, South Korea borders North Korea it is not miles away.
Clinton did not blink at this mistake, nor did Maddow correct her. Watch the embarrassing gaffe above.

I was amazed at how much she says ... nothing whatsoever at all. Soaring psychological rhetoric signifying nothing nor relating to anything --- except that there is a persistent implicit complaint and victimology.
Also, seeing her with all those women ... this is not to say all those women are like this ... it brings to the surface that Hillary's problem with men isn't that men hate her, it's that she hates men.
She really is stupid and ignorant, but the MSM has covered for her all along.
How can she get away with Valley Girl speak? When Steve Bannon told America last week that this lady is not intelligent, it was like hearing the truth spoken after 20 years of living in pretend world.
“You know”. “Well, like, you know”. “It’s like, you know, it’s close to the border”.
She’s a moron. A vacuumed head. Filled with undigested slogans. A smattering of contextless data cushioned by knowing girlie glances, giggles and winks. A nothing.
Palin didn’t say anything like that, you are repeating the parody skit on Saturday Night Live.
What Palin talked about was how close the borders of Alaska and Russia are (only 18 miles across the Bering Straight). She said you can “see” Russia from Alaska, which is perfectly true when the conditions are right.
Not to worry...Democrats can make an unlimited number of gaffes without consequences.
Republicans aren’t allowed any.
A bright successful woman such as Sarah Palin is ridiculed for metaphorically stating that she can see Russia from her front porch, but a cretinous liberal woman gets a free pass for not understanding basic political geography. Media are scum.
Tina Fey, playing Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live, Said she could see Russia from her house. And an election media meme was born.
Even leftwing Snopes grudgingly admits that, as they attempt to smear Palin. Note their choice of picture.

Most “Rhodes Scholars” get a, you know, degree....
She’s dumber than a box of rocks and more crooked than a snake. Let’s see how the MSM spins this one or will they just completely ignore it?
“When does happy hour start?”
It doesn’t matter. She thinks there’s a duty-free zone between the two countries, and the bars are open 24 hours a day.
Sarah Palin didn’t ever say even metaphorically, that she can see Russia from her front porch.
Idiot comedienne Tina Fey, impersonating Sarah Palin, made that statement.
What Sarah Palin actually said, which is lost in the liberal media/comedic cesspool, was that you can see part of Russia from Alaskan territory. And that is true. Big Diomede Island, which is Russian territory, is two miles from Little Diomede Island, which is Alaskan territory.
Of course, we can’t let the facts get in the way of the media and comics making Sarah Palin out to be an idiot.
Bill was the Rhodes scholar, not Hillary. BTW the left wants to redact Rhodes...
As Rush pointed out, Hillary made an actual dumb statement, and nobody noticed. Sarah Palin never made the “I can see Russia from my house” statement, but she’s widely derided for it, to this day.
She COULD be thinking about the DMZ which is a few miles wide.
If she meant Seoul is near the North Korean border, then why didn’t she say that?? She’s the smartest woman in the world. She knows how to select her words to say what she means and mean what she says. If she’s the smartest woman in the world, that would be the case.
Maybe the fact is, she isn’t really the smartest woman in the world.
Seems I am wrong about the “18 miles” figure. At closest, a Russian island and a US island in the area are only 2 1/2 miles apart, so easily visible in reasonably clear conditions.
But the mainlands are apparently 37 miles apart, so I don’t know where I got the “18” from......
Still, the point stands, that it was only the SNL parody that introduced the “I can see Russia from my house.”
Just look at her stupid lies. MSM has been working overtime to cover up for her.
Maybe the fact is that she’s an idiot who has been trying to punch above her weight for decades, aided and abetted by her husband and other Libards.
