The Deplorable ‘Empathy’ of Hillary Clinton

Obviously, I misread the room. Not only did Trump win that election, but he also governed better than I thought he would. I voted for him in 2020 and 2024.

With the benefit of hindsight, I realize now that 2016 was actually Trump’s election to lose, and that was all because Hillary Clinton literally had nothing to offer us. She spent her entire career riding the coattails of Bill, basically carpetbagging her way into her New York Senate seat, and was handed the Secretary of State job by Obama.

She believed she was entitled to the presidency, as evidenced by her self-aggrandizing birthday post, which I still can’t believe she hasn’t deleted yet. And all of that came to us in a package as soft and loving as a tinfoil teddy bear.

So when I saw that Hillary gave an interview to The Atlantic where she talked about President Trump, Christianity, and — of all things — empathy, it was amazing.

It’s remarkable in the sense that Clinton had the audacity to let the word “empathy” escape her lips, because she’s spent her political career demonstrating she has no idea what that word means.

When I see brutality like we’ve all witnessed in Minnesota, I ask myself: Can I really find empathy for people who insist on dehumanizing others? I’m not sure, to be honest. I’m still working on it. I believe our hearts are big enough to hold two truths at once. We can see the humanity even in the worst of our fellow human beings and still fiercely resist tyranny and repression. We can stand firm without mirroring the cruelty of our opponents. These are dark days in America. To rekindle our light, we must reject cruelty and corruption. To be strong, we need more empathy, not less.

I must admit I do admire her utter lack of self- awareness here. When I think of Hillary Clinton, I do not think of “empathy.”

She’s the least empathetic person on the planet. Here’s a refresher on how she treated the women who accused Bill of abusing them:

Hillary was always with the sisterhood, except when one of the sisters piped up about Bill having sex with her or grossly mistreating her, in which case Hillary was with the patriarchy — i.e., her powerful, entitled husband — all the way.

It wasn’t a Clinton enemy that came up with the phrase “bimbo eruption,” but an ally and friend, Betsey Wright. The word “bimbo,” by the way, says it all about the contempt Clinton World had for women with the poor judgment to succumb to Bill’s wiles.

According to journalist Michael Isikoff, the Clinton campaign in 1992 spent $100,000 on private-detective work related to women. The approach, when rumors first popped up, was to get affidavits from women denying affairs — the reflex of most women is to avoid exposure — and, failing that, to use any discrediting tool at hand.

Hillary was fully on board. When a rock groupie told Penthouse in late 1991 that a state trooper approached her on Gov. Clinton’s behalf, Hillary said “we have to destroy her story.”

When the Star tabloid reported that Clinton had affairs with five Arkansas women, including Gennifer Flowers, the Clinton campaign waved affidavits signed by all them denying it. (This is what Clinton had advised Flowers to do in a taped conversation.) Then, Flowers admitted to an affair, saying it had lasted 12 years.

In response, Hillary did the famous “60 Minutes” interview with Bill, sitting by him as he delivered a lawyerly denial of the 12-year allegation specifically (he later admitted having sex with Flowers once). Hillary joined the strategy sessions over what verbiage to use in the interview.

She also made sure to call half of Americans “deplorables” but even took it a step further, saying that those of us who didn’t agree with her were also “irredeemable,” as if she were Jesus Himself.

People forget that the worst part of her “basket of deplorables” comment was that she said people she didn’t agree with were “irredeemable.”

And now she’s lecturing people on empathy. https://t.co/MwrkIeXChQ

Clinton famously said we need government to strictly regulate social media because Leftists like her “lose control” when it’s free.

Hillary Clinton is huge on resisting tyranny and repression, writing in The Atlantic

Clinton resists tyranny and repression so much that on October 5, 2024 she advocated for social media censorship to maintain “total control” https://t.co/SR5MhQCB22 pic.twitter.com/YkENMeyJxz

 It was so egregiously anti-free speech that even Cenk Uygur called her out on it. She also called for civil and criminal penalties for those who spread “propaganda” online.

Hillary Clinton calls for criminal charges and civil penalties against Americans “engaged” in spreading “propaganda.”

To make her argument against free speechj, she invokes the Russiagate scam that itself was the product of her campaign’s own propaganda. Speaking of which, the… pic.twitter.com/oRpwvwN4Ni

“Just as Mueller indicted a lot of Russians who were engaged in direct election interference and boosting Trump back in 2016, but I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda. And whether they should be civilly or in some cases criminally charged, is something that would be a better deterrent,” Clinton said on Rachel Maddow.

Just this week, Clinton also sat down with the Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammad bin Salman, in a state that kills dissenters.

Amazing hypocrisy from @HillaryClinton. Two days ago she met with Saudi crown prince Mohammad bin Salman, who kills dissenters, as part of a speaking gig for a Saudi real estate conference. https://t.co/yXgzWZXFLM pic.twitter.com/qp3cuEOc8o

How very empathetic.

But I think the best encapsulation of the non-existent empathy of Hillary Clinton is not her words, but a picture. Clinton deigned to enter the apartment of an average American, and the look on her face is that of a person who just stumbled upon an alien planet:

Look at her face and her body language. She is completely uncomfortable and, frankly, a little horrified to see how people who aren’t connected in D.C. live. 

There is no empathy there. No genuine interest in the people who live there or what their lives are like. To Clinton, they were a photo op, and a bizarre “other” that she’ll never understand.

And I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out the proverbial elephant in the room here: there is no empathy in her statement to The Atlantic.

Her political opponents “insist on dehumanizing others,” and they are “the worst of our fellow human beings” who are engaged in “cruelty and corruption.”

Who are those people? They are the Republicans in Congress. They are the ICE agents tasked with enforcing the immigration laws passed by Republicans and Democrats. They are the voters who elected President Trump to deport the millions of illegals that President Biden let into our country with zero empathy for our laws or the countless victims of their crimes.

Hillary has no empathy for them, so she has no right to demand any from us.
