In retrospect I’m astounded by the hypocrisy of the
Democrats in this last election. It didn’t
really come home to me until I began thinking about Trump’s win and Clinton’s
loss. But the more I think about it the more obvious it becomes.
Hillary blasted Trump repeatedly for fear mongering, even
while she and her surrogates in the press did everything they could think of to
paint a Trump presidency as fearful and Trump as a nut who would be dangerous
around the nuclear codes.
Hillary blasted Trump repeatedly for his “stupid” idea of
building a wall across the US-Mexican border, conveniently forgetting to mention
that the Obama administration has already built about 670 miles of it
themselves.
Hillary blasted Trump repeatedly for his proposal to deport
illegal immigrants, conveniently omitting to mention that the Obama
administration had already deported 2.5 million illegal immigrants, more than
the combined total of all previous presidents.
Hillary blasted Trump repeatedly for derogatory labeling of
groups, even while she and her surrogates in the media were labeling Trump
voters as ignorant, sexist, racist, “deplorables”.
Funny how the (mostly #ImWithHer) press failed to notice
this hypocrisy.
