I despise Hilldawg as much as anyone here, but she was correct with this comment of hers and the right intentionally made it seem like she was talking about all of Trump’s supporters when she clearly wasn’t.
It really was exceptional how some truly awful people like David Duke and Richard Spenser and others were coming out of the woodwork to support Trump (because he was the only GOP politician to come out and talk about immigration and deportation). I’m talking about open white supremacists - the absolute right fringe. If you followed these neo-Nazi groups like I did at the time, they were all thrilled about Trump, it was a real phenomenon. These are people who usually never endorsed even republicans before. Hillary was pointing out that hey, if some of the people who we all agree are terrible are supporting Trump maybe that says something. That’s not how the right took it and I think they worked up their hog base over it, even though it was deployed cynically by them.
If anything it’s another thing on theblist of reasons to fucking hate her.
After a year long election she finally actually stood for something and called out the fact half (generous) of all Trump supporters were full of shit and not worth arguing with because they weren’t doing it in good faith.
And then she fucking apologized and spent the last days kissing MAGAts ass.
