Hillary Clinton blasts Trump on LGBT rights

Hillary Clinton on Thursday warned that President Donald Trump could roll back progress on LGBT rights.

"We may not ever be able to count on this administration to lead on LGBT issues," Clinton said in a speech in New York.

Clinton was addressing a fundraising dinner for The Center, an LGBT community organization, where she received an award and thanked members of the audience for supporting her unsuccessful 2016 presidential bid. But she told those gathered there to watch out for "the progress that we fought for, that many of you were on the front lines for."

"It may not be as secure as we once expected," she said.

The event was yet another public foray for Clinton, who in the weeks and months immediately after her electoral upset, generally did not comment on politics. More recently, however, she has used speaking events to lay into Trump and the Republican Party.....

Yes, Hillary, do tell...

I'm going to say something ugly, but it needs to be said.

She didn't get the message in 2008. She didn't get the message in 2016. When is this bitch going to get back under the rock she crawled out from under.. No one give a flip what she says. She is irrelevant. She is mean to the bone.

[MNGal]

Oh my! What an unfortunate and ugly outfit. And what happened to her hair!

[blackdog]

Shave her head and you have Dr.Evil from Austin Powers movies.

[blackdog]

I want sharks with fricking laser beams to go after Donald Trump.

Like the Masters Tournament, one gets a gold Mao pantsuit for life long carpet chomping achievement award.

[boop]

Yes, look at the static Brett Favre got for clapping not "enthusiastic enough" for Bruce Jenner being awarded athlete of the year at the ESPYs

FGS, what if the athlete of the year of 2015 was Rosie Grier?

Yes, a great guy in 1973, but if he was given the award, it would be a joke.

I'd still clap for the man, but really?

Probably not enthusiatically though.

Wonder if I'd get the same level of "heat" for that.

[Army Air Corps]

It is all Homosexual all the time with Progressives.

[caww]

..."When is this bitch going to get back under the rock she crawled out from under.. No one give a flip what she says.".....

...They never stay there for long....

[Army Air Corps]

She looks more and more like a Bond villain each week.

[doorgunner69]

Face it, no one cares about LGBTQRSTUV “rights” when they already have the same rights as everyone else.

[DannyTN]

She’s still alive?

[Yaelle]

Oh, shut up, you old BITCH. If you really wanted to do anything for the gay crowd, you'd have divorced your womanizing husband and come out as the lesbian you always were!! You'd have been brave, trying to get rich and famous ON YOUR OWN FEMINIST POWER instead of hitchin' yo star to a man like a little 19th century lady.
