Hillary Clinton launches another offensive against Republican women, apparently learning nothing from her ‘deplorables’ disaster.
Hillary Clinton is at it again, showcasing her elitist contempt for conservative women by branding them as “handmaidens to the patriarchy.” This remark, made during a recent interview with Margaret Hoover, echoes her infamous “basket of deplorables” comment that helped sink her 2016 presidential run. While praising renegade Republicans Lisa Murkowski and Liz Cheney, Clinton made it clear that conservative women who don’t align with her progressive vision are simply enabling men and the patriarchal system. Her comments reveal a persistent disdain for conservative values and a refusal to acknowledge that intelligent women can willingly embrace traditional principles.
Hillary’s New Deplorable Moment
During a May 1 discussion at The 92nd Street Y in New York, Hillary Clinton delivered what can only be described as “Deplorables 2.0” when asked about women in politics. Rather than offering thoughtful reflections on female leadership, Clinton couldn’t resist taking a swipe at her political opponents. Her exact words should send shivers down the spine of every conservative woman in America.
“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.” – Hillary Clinton
This breathtaking condescension perfectly encapsulates the progressive elite’s view of conservative women. According to Clinton’s worldview, women who support traditional families, oppose abortion on demand, or believe in constitutional rights aren’t exercising independent thought – they’re just puppets of men. The utter arrogance of this position would be laughable if it weren’t so insulting to millions of intelligent, independent-minded American women who simply hold different values than Clinton.
The Clinton Strategy: Divide and Patronize
Clinton’s approach reveals a calculated political strategy that her ilk has been executing for years. By granting special exemptions to Republicans like Senator Lisa Murkowski and former Representative Liz Cheney, she attempts to create a false dichotomy: the “good” Republican women who oppose Trump and side with Democrats on key issues versus the “bad” ones who are merely “handmaidens to the patriarchy.” It’s the oldest trick in the progressive playbook – divide and conquer.
As if her condescension toward Republican women weren’t enough, Clinton doubled down by making it clear she sees certain women as worthy of leadership positions – specifically those who align with her ideology. When discussing women in political leadership, Clinton stated: “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.”
The message couldn’t be clearer: only progressive women deserve support in their political ambitions. Conservative women need not apply. This partisan litmus test for which women deserve elevation exposes the hypocrisy at the heart of Clinton’s supposed feminism. It was never about elevating all women – just the ones who think like her.
