PROBLEMATIC: Hillary Clinton Insults Homeless People on ‘The Tonight Show’
Heatstreet ^ | 20 Sep 2016 | Andrew Stiles

Posted on 09/21/2016 7:06:56 AM PDT by oblomov

Hillary Clinton made a very problematic and insultingly “othering” joke about homeless on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

The host handed his guest a brown paper bag full of props to set up his jokes, and Clinton observed that the bag was “pretty beat up” and “looks like a homeless person’s.”

No. She. Didn’t.

Social media users were not impressed with multimillionaire (and multiple home-owner) Hillary Clinton’s condescending attitude toward real estate-challenged Americans.

It's like a homeless persons bag? Wow... Go home Hillary #NeverHillary

keep talking but the second she isn’t dying the polls get tight again. LA Times poll is back to Trump up 4 from almost 7.

With EVERY SINGLE ###ING THING she has said or done, with everything that’s come out abuot her, with the fact that she is likely dying, she is VERY in the game.

That’s not a good sign no matter WHO you are or how you spin it.

Maybe I was wrong about MSM ####s. Maybe they aren’t outdated and obsolete.

Pounding Trump 24/7 takes its toll I guess.

Oh sir, my heart and prayers are with you. For me that is not a trite statement or flippant remark but truth.

I have many female friends who think as I do. We are not only friends in the fun sense but praying women from all situations. I single you out now for prayer but as a group we pray a general prayer regularly for the working men of our nation. The honest hard working man who does his job to support the home, coupled with a woman to be supportive of the man and family as well is the unit upon which we built this nation.

I am possibly more fortunate than you, living my life in Texas. I know in your location you are in one of the hottest parts of the American war on men. I would just like to encourage you today that there are women in America who love you for being who you are, as God made you. I add to my prayer that with Donald Trump as our next president I sincerely hope *this* portion of you life gets better along with many others.

I watched a little of her on Fallon. It was nonstop Trump bashing. I watched Trump on Fallon too, he was very polite and like able as I recall.

Scott Adams said yesterday that Hillary sounds like Trump's ex-wife - the only one who doesn't like him.

In her little ex-wife life, everything that Trump does is bad and wrong.

He also causes bad weather, and soap rings in her sink.

H*****y should know about homeless people since she dresses like a bag lady.

Just because Fallon was polite to Hillary I don’t necessarily call that being in the tank for her. He is kind and warm and polite and says he loves everyone who comes on his show. He very well may vote for her but I expected him to be polite. He treated Trump nicely too.

“apparently the Clintons are way far above the ‘deplorables and the homeless’ to think of them except garbage on our streets,”

I doubt they think of us this highly. They likely want us all dead : )

Perfect. ‘Illary will be playing defense on that for the next few days.

Not really. The incident will be swept down the Memory Hole except at sites like this one, where everyone knows what she really is. This will not hurt her one bit with her supporters.

“BTW, she taped that show last Friday I believe.”

That wasn’t the day she was diagnosed with pneumonia, was it? (and had several events on that day as well; who knows when she squeezed in her visit with her doctor). Or was she “diagnosed” on 9/9?

Still, if she really had pneumonia and was diagnosed on the ninth, she should still be recuperating, just one week later. When I had it (in my early thirties!) I was wiped out for a long time.

This incident happened on such an important day for America that it won’t be forgotten.

“-as a mother, she is an insult to REAL American women who are devoted to our children”

Remember her comment during Bill’s campaign about how she wasn’t going to “stay home and bake cookies”?

“I don’t recall Trump even mentioning her much if at all. He was funny.”

_______________________________________________

He was funny and he has a good sense of humor. Fallon put on a wig and impersonated him; Trump went along with it.

I think that episode was last fall sometime. ?

“For the past 40-50 years white males in our country have been so trodden upon by the feminist movement and affirmative action that I truly do not blame them for any caution or bitterness toward women. I do blame Hillary Clinton and her ilk. It has reflected badly upon the average American woman and tragically it has misled and ruined the ignorant among women who were not taught to think and evaluated cause and effect for themselves.”

____________________________________________________

I’m a middle-aged married woman (26 years) and I can really understand the apprehensiveness some younger men have towards the institution of marriage.

Just one example, during a bitter divorce, sometimes there are false allegations of abuse, etc. (and the woman is rarely if ever questioned).

It just seems that over the years, women have been favored, to the point where it can be unfair.

That being said, I believe in marriage; I believe it is a sacrament. It’s not always an easy road, but it is comforting to have a lifelong partner with you on that road.

And that’s the key...prayer and faith.

And living in Texas doesn’t hurt. ;) I had the great good fortune to live there for a while when I was younger.

I’ll pray for you too, Talisker.

And that is the difference the mushy middle will notice and will give Trump the election. Likability is yuuuuge.

Yes, I do. That comment stung me. I was a single mom supporting 2 kids at the time. (Not my choice) I would have loved that opportunity to stay home baking those cookies, well, pies for me ;)

Yep.

Ah, having a stroke on my part will just be one less vote for Trump. :)

Frigging Sicilian temper.

You seem to take events with a much more even temperament. Sign of a man in control of his emotions.

That ain’t me :)

I wholeheartedly agree with you. My husband and I did not meet until later in life. Both had failed marriages to people who did not fulfill the covenant of marriage as it should have been. This marriage is on that covenant footing. Like everybody’s, good and bad, but such a gift. Almost 10 yrs now :)

And we had a male aquaintance thru work who was going thru one on “those” divorces. Couple of children, he was trying to save the marriage, as they were arguing she fell backward over a box. (His things she packed) God, in His mercy, provided a witness, neighbor trying to assist the moving. Her lawyer got pictures of a gash or bruise on the woman’s face and alleged abuse. The witness saved the guy. You know in this day and age he would have been in jail.

I dont condone family violence either, it did happen to me in the distant past, but that pendulem has swung too far.
