Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton let loose in a conversation with the India Today Conclave over the weekend, calling Trump voters and residents of heartland states ‘backwards,” telling the audience that Americans “didn’t like black people getting rights,” and “didn’t like women,” and claiming that white women only voted for Trump because they were told to do so by their husbands.
Clinton waited until she was well overseas to give the shocking speech, rehashing some of her greatest hits into a single, televised rant, delivered largely to an audience of Indians gathered for the innovation conference.
Asked about the 52% of white women who voted for Donald Trump in the presidential election despite being faced with the possibility of having the first woman president in American history, Clinton did not concede that women could have voted based on their own political preferences. Rather, the failed Democratic candidate claimed that white women were under the spell of their husbands, fathers, and sons, who forced them to pull the lever for Donald Trump.
“We do not do well with white men and we don’t do well with married, white women,” Clinton told the audience about the Democratic Party. “And part of that is an identification with the Republican Party, and a sort of ongoing pressure to vote the way that your husband, your boss, your son, whoever, believes you should.”
Yep. That’s right. A majority of white women in America are merely the pawns of their male betters, the willing tools of a massive Patriarchal conspiracy that sought to keep Clinton out of the White House because she happened to be a woman.
That’s not all though. Clinton went on to claim that then-FBI director James Comey, now a liberal hero, destroyed her “momentum,” and “decreased my vote” when he suddenly re-opened an investigation into her mishandling of classified information just days before the November election.
At some point, Clinton’s habit of excusing her campaign performance simply becomes pathological. She no longer accepts any rational explanation for her loss that is at odds with her own carefully curated reality, and she’ll likely carry these same explanations with her to her deathbed, always believing that America was too backwards, to brutish, and too misogynistic to see the paradise she promised.
