Hillary Clinton Just Proved She Learned NOTHING from Her 'Basket of Deplorables' Remark in 2016

While running for president in 2016, Democrat Hillary Clinton said that half of Donald Trump supporters belonged to what she called a "basket of deplorables."

She was insulting at least 50 percent of the people who would vote for the next president of the United States.

That remark cost her. Now, it appears she learned no lessons.

In a video posted on May 15, Clinton said that nearly all Republican women are “handmaiden to the patriarchy."

Clinton made her remarks in an interview on May 1 at The 92nd Street Y in New York City.

She was asked by interviewer Margaret Hoover about what advice she had “for the first female president of the United States.”

Clinton attacked Republican women.

“Well, first of all, don’t be a handmaiden to the patriarchy, which kind of eliminates every woman on the other side of the aisle, except for very few,” Clinton said.

There were two Republican women she did like. Sen. Lisa Murkowski and former Rep. Liz Cheney.

The Dem-friendly Murkowski opposed Trump’s defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth, and also was against his pardons of January 6, 2021 Capitol rioters.

Cheney was on the Select Committee that investigated the January 6 Capitol riot. The daughter of former vice president Dick Cheney lost her congressional seat in 2022 to Trump-backed Harriet Hageman by over 37 percent.

Cheney also endorsed Democrat Kamala Harris for president in 2024.

Clinton said in the interview, “Look, first we have to get there, and it is, you know, obviously so much harder than it should be. So, you know, if a woman runs who I think would be a good president — as I thought Kamala Harris would be, and as I knew I would be — I will support that woman.”

In 2016, Clinton said of at least half of Trump supporters, “You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?”

She added, “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.”

“He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric,” she continued. “Now, some of those folks — they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America.”

The very next day, Clinton realized she had made a bad political move. She apologized, saying, “Last night I was ‘grossly generalistic,’ and that’s never a good idea. I regret saying ‘half’ — that was wrong.”

If we can't say Hillary Clinton hates her country, and that is debatable, we can say, fairly, that she hates at least half of Republican voters.

She said so in 2016 and she just basically said it again, this time about Republican women in particular.

If this leftist Democrat elite is constantly looking for misogynists, she should start by looking in the mirror.
