By Stephen L. Miller — March 22, 2016
Hillary Clinton had a gaffe-filled, staggeringly bad week last week. It started with her politicizing Nancy Reagan’s funeral and ending with more explosive allegations that her informal adviser Sidney Blumenthal had directly cut and pasted classified intelligence into an unsecured personal e-mail account. But you wouldn’t know it from media campaign coverage, which has been far more occupied with the GOP primary and the escalation of violent incidents at rallies.
While attending Nancy Reagan’s funeral, Hillary praised the work of the former first lady and that of her husband’s administration for dealing with the nation’s AIDS epidemic in the ’80s. For those not in the know or too young to remember, praising the Reagan administration’s response to that crisis is a benchmark no-no for Hillary’s Bernie-infatuated restless Democratic base who are teetering on writing in an alternative name to Clinton’s or staying home altogether this fall. Liberal media backed her into a corner, and she retreated from her statement, even penning a blog post at Medium begging for forgiveness from her unwashed masses. Hillary managed to make an awkward mess out of a final tribute to a conservative icon, but, once again, it’s not something that drew much attention. Why is that?
At a Democratic Townhall hosted by CNN, while addressing the future of climate change and fossil fuels, Hillary waded into infamous Obama territory by proudly declaring that during her presidency, she’s going to put “a lot of coal miners out of business.” It was an astonishing declaration from a debate stage that should have had the cable-news networks frothing at the mouth. After all, they played Romney’s “I like to fire people” line on loop for weeks. Remember?
