Failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton continued to spread violent, dangerous rhetoric in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination by a suspected killer who was influenced by leftist ideology, and in the same breath, said we have to "stop demonizing" each other for our political views.
During her appearance on Wednesday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Clinton said the "finger-pointing" has to end. She then proceeded to attack those on the right, white men of a "certain religion,” and claimed that “we the people” are in the “cross-hairs of those on the right that want to turn back the clock” on progress.

Host Willie Geist asked Clinton about the latest flash point in free speech, pointing to Jimmy Kimmel's temporary suspension for lying about Kirk's murder, not how Kirk's voice was silenced by a murderer who assassinated him.
Geist then lied and claimed that President Donald Trump and those in his administration have said they are going to explicitly go after their political enemies or opponents by silencing those voices. What Trump and Vice President JD Vance actually said is that they are going to find out who is funding these hateful groups, like antifa, that are targeting those on the right.
Clinton said she thinks that Geist's narrative - even though it's untrue - is "very dangerous. It is right out of the authoritarian playbook."
In the next breath, old Hill said that she included herself in this, adding, "We have got to stop demonizing each other." (18:12)
Wow, really big of Clinton to admit she had to stop, but she then proceeded to do the exact opposite.
"Now, I think most of that right now in our country's history is coming from the right, coming from people who want to dominate," Hillary claimed. "They want their point of view. You know, writing out slavery from history?"
"That doesn't make it go away," she added. "You know, we've got to stop with the finger-pointing and the scapegoating. We can have legitimate disagreements, right? I mean, how do you provide affordable healthcare for everybody?"
"Let's figure that out. How do you deal with what's gonna be job loss from AI? Let's get working on that. That's what we should be doing, but we should do it in the truth-based reality that we have to live in," Clinton continued. "Facts and evidence have to matter again."
In a second video from the MSNBC show, Clinton doubled down on her attacks on the right, and it's worse than the first ones.
"The idea of 'We The People' that all men and women are created equal, that seems to be in the cross-hairs of those on the right who want to turn the clock back on the progress that has been made," Clinton said.
"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," she added. "It's just doing such damage to what we should be aiming for."
Those comments are almost too unbelievable after what the country has gone through over the last two weeks. And the former secretary of state really should sit this one out after she famously labeled supporters of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump in the 2016 election "the basket of deplorables."
Let's take a trip down memory lane, Hill, shall we? Here's what you said.
"You could put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables," Clinton said. "Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it. "
Pot meet kettle. Hillary, you are 1,0000 percent right that you are part of the problem. Democratic leaders like Clinton do have a responsibility here and must stop talking out of both sides of their mouths.
