Clinton backs Trump impeachment but warns it 'won't remove white supremacy'
By Aris Folley - 01/11/21 03:05 PM EST
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says in a new op-ed that she supports President Trump’s impeachment following the violent rioting at the Capitol by a mob of his supporters last week, but warned that the move “won’t remove white supremacy from America†on its own.
In the opinion piece, which was published in The Washington Post on Monday, Clinton called the violence seen in Washington on Wednesday “the tragically predictable result of white-supremacist grievances fueled by President Trump.â€
“But his departure from office, whether immediately or on Jan. 20, will not solve the deeper problems exposed by this episode. What happened is cause for grief and outrage. It should not be cause for shock,†she wrote. “What were too often passed off as the rantings of an unfortunate but temporary figure in public life are, in reality, part of something much bigger. That is the challenge that confronts us all.â€

Clinton said the recent violence prompted her to reflect on her past time as a senator in New York, her experiences during the 9/11 terrorist attacks and “the 9/11 Commission Report that followed.â€
“The report’s authors explored the failures that opened the door for a devastating terrorist attack. ‘The most important failure,’ they wrote, ‘was one of imagination. We do not believe leaders understood the gravity of the threat,’†she said.
“Almost 20 years later, we are living through another failure of imagination — the failure to account for the damage that can be done to our nation by a president who incites violence, congressional leaders who fan the flames, and social media platforms that sear conspiracy theories into the minds of Trump’s supporters,†Clinton continued. “Unless we confront the threats we face, we risk ensuring that last week’s events are only a prelude to an even greater tragedy.â€
