Saying The Quiet Part Out Loud

Hopefully this will never happen, but a recent statement from Hillary Clinton is concerning. It is particularly concerning when you look at the government’s efforts to label anyone who doesn’t agree with the current party in power as a terrorist.

On October 6th, The Independent Journal Review reported:

During a CNN interview Thursday night, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed supporters of former President Donald Trump may need to enter “formal deprogramming.”

She told Chief International CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour, “So many of those extremists, those MAGA extremists, take their marching orders from Donald Trump.”

Clinton stated Trump “has no credibility,” cited his legal battles, and called patriotic Americans who follow America First ideology “cult members.”

The response on social media was entertaining.

Here are a few examples:

Podcast hosts The Hodgetwins posted a clip of the interview on X, formerly Twitter, and stated, “Tyrants love re-education camps.”

…Make America Great Again Inc. spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt wrote, “President Trump has said countless times that they are only coming after him, because he stands in their way from coming after you — and Hillary Clinton just confirmed that to be true.”

…Libs of TikToc creator Chaya Raichik noted, “Nothing to see here… just Hillary Clinton wanting to put Republicans into re-education camps.”

…APR Nurse Rochelle Maryn wrote, “Interpretation: Hillary feels like she may not be able to manipulate and force feed her garbage down the throats of the American people any longer.”

…MAGA Activist the Salty Texan responded, “As if we didn’t nose dive face first into Communism enough already, here is Hillary Clinton implying that “MAGA EXTREMISTS” will need to be “deprogrammed” because we are “cult members.”

Thank God this woman was not elected President.

In What World Is This Rational?

Project Veritas is known for exposing things that go on behind the scenes. They have a way of showing us what is really going on. They have done it again–they have exposed the prejudice of at least one person at PBS.

The information below was contained in an email I received today from Project Veritas. They have resorted to emails because some of their social networking has been censored.

The email included a video of PBS Principal Counsel Michael Beller stating the following (I can’t figure out how to embed the video):

“They’ll [Trump supporters] be raising a generation of intolerant, horrible people – horrible kids.”

“We go for all the Republican voters and Homeland Security will take their children away…we’ll put them into the re-education camps.”

“Enlightenment camps. They’re nice, they have Sesame Street characters in the classrooms, and they watch PBS all day.

Project Veritas has also obtained a message sent by PBS CEO Paula Kerger to her staff:

Dear Colleagues:

We recently learned that a staff member in PBS’s legal department was targeted by Project Veritas, a far-right activist group that is known for producing deceptive videos. A video of that individual’s personal interaction with an undercover member of Project Veritas was released today.

In response, we issued the following statement: 

“This employee no longer works for PBS. As a mid-level staff attorney, he did not speak on behalf of our organization, nor did he make any editorial decisions. There is no place for hateful rhetoric at PBS, and this individual’s views in no way reflect our values or opinions. We strongly condemn violence and will continue to do what we have done for 50 years – use our national platform and local presence to strengthen communities and bring people together.”

Now wait a minute. If you dismissed the employee, why are you accusing Project Veritas of being a far-right activist group known for producing deceptive videos? Was the video accurate? If not, why did you fire the employee? I really don’t think you can have it both ways.

It is disturbing that anyone (particularly a person in a corporation funded with taxpayer dollars) would think any American belongs in a re-education camp. Based on that statement, I am not sure it is the Trump supporters who are intolerant.
