Former presidential candidate and secretary of state Hillary Clinton told us this week that Republicans don't deserve civility. In her sit down with Christiane Amanpour, Clinton insisted that the GOP does not deserve respect after the drawn out battle over now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. She apparently forgot all about former First Lady Michelle Obama's, "When they go low, you go high" mantra.
"You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about," she said matter-of-factly. "That's why I believe, if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and or the Senate, that's when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength."
Many progressive activists are of the same mind. It's happened several times now in the past year where Republican leaders have been unable to enjoy a meal out on the town or go for a leisurely walk without being verbally assaulted by critics or chased out of establishments. Clinton's comments will only fan the flames.
Outside the White House Wednesday, White House senior counselor Kellyanne Conway called Clinton's interview a disgrace, while also mocking the Clintons' new midterms tour.
"I know she and her husband are going to go out there and have a 13-stop tour - she needs to be seated next to him, I guess to get the crowds in there," Conway told the Daily Mail.
n an earlier interview on "Fox & Friends," Conway noted that former President Bill Clinton is "a much more popular man who actually was a two-term president that she'll never be."
Her roadshow is "unfortunate and graceless," Conway added. Her rhetoric? "A little bit dangerous."
"Usually, when she opens her mouth, respectfully, she offends at least one half of the country, and she did it again," Conway said. "But I think her discourse sounds a little bit dangerous. I don't like the implications there."
They’ll have to bus people in from Libya to fill these large venues.
Yikes....need to put up a warning grapic pic tag on that headline!!! LOL!
“What difference does it make if we get a radical, younger Dem in the seat?”
To be sure, the media cameras will not be panning the audiences. Nor will they be outside watching the “paid Indians” handing out Soros Bucks to the few that do show up to insure that at least they will go inside for a few minutes.
I’m guessing that the big tour will end with maybe a max of 3 stops. Much like her HillaryCare tour in the 90s.
“Yikes....need to put up a warning grapic pic tag on that headline!!! LOL!”
Objective evidence of why Slick still cats around.
cough cough cough , cough cough
LOL Nobody believed Michelle O ever believed any of the materials she spouted. Well, the part about taking from one to another everyone believed because 1/2 of the folks knew the O’s to be thieves and the other 1/2 of the folks were/are into thievery like the Os.
This is very disturbing. Hillary still has not fully conceded that she lost the election. Is she is trying to stir up an insurrection? This is very disturbing. She threatens Democracy, not Trump
Such an ugly, evil, soulless... thing.
Can you imagine the outright hate she has for Bill?
And they have to appear together at fundraisers?
He may have to speak for her due to her coughing fits.
Hillary will be the next Helen Thomas in short order here on FR.
Democrats just wish she'd go away.
Someone should ask her about justice for Juanita Broaddrick at ever appearance.
This was a tour to build “good will”?
I tell you right now, the good won’t be putting their faith in Herself. However, this may be very attractive to other grifters, con men and charlatans of every stripe.
High level street begging.
Bingo. Well said and so true.
Kellyanne is a great asset, I’m glad they are accommodating her to keep her on staff.
She’s on tv more lately than she was during her failed campaigns. Something is up.
