Alex Hammer writes for the Daily Mail about the latest inflammatory comments from a former Democratic presidential nominee.
Hillary Clinton hit out at white Christian men just two weeks after Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
The former first lady found fault with Christian conservatism during an appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe Wednesday, saying she disapproved of the ideology because it promotes division.
The movement has picked up momentum thanks to people like Kirk, whose evangelical faith shaped his politics. He was killed earlier this month while speaking at a college campus in southern Utah.
Clinton began by telling hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski: ‘You know, I love my country, and I love it, you know – warts and all.
‘And I’m proud of the fact that we have always been a work in progress. You know, we haven’t gotten to the more perfect union,’ she continued, adding that freedom of speech and the ability to protest is what ‘makes us so special as a country.’
‘And the idea that you could turn the clock back and try to recreate a world that never was dominated by – you know, let’s say it – white men of a certain persuasion, a certain religion, a certain point of view, a certain ideology – it’s just doing such damage to what we should be aiming for.
‘And we were on the path toward that – I mean, imperfectly, lots of bumps along the way.’
The comments came in response to remarks from Scarborough about the history of the country and how it has persisted through slavery and the Civil War.
The rest of the conversation revolved heavily around the current administration and messaging for Democrats.
Clinton accused Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of leading the American public back to a time ‘when we aren’t vaccinating, we’re drinking raw milk, yeah, and people didn’t live.’
