Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton wrote an opinion piece for the Washington Post about how to deal with “radicalized individuals.'
Hillary Clinton now believes 'deplorables' is 'too kind' a word to use for a section of people who support former President Trump. The former Democratic presidential candidate wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post Wednesday titled, 'To err is human, to empathize is superhuman.' In the piece, she describes her struggle to empathize with 'radicalized individuals,' hearkening back to her infamous 'basket of deplorables' line from 2016.
She added, 'The masks have come off, and if anything, ‘deplorable’ is too kind a word for the hate and violent extremism we’ve seen from some Trump supporters.' In comparison, Clinton recalled spending time with Shannon Foley, a former White supremacist who now 'works to deprogram and rehabilitate people leaving hate groups.' Clinton commented how she 'marveled at the empathy Shannon managed to summon for even the most deplorable bigots.
Despite still believing parts of her 'deplorable' comment were 'objectively true,' Clinton wrote how she hopes to have a more empathetic view. 'Talking about the ‘deplorables’ in 2016, I said, ‘Some of those folks, they are irredeemable.’ Part of me would still say this is objectively true. Just look at the lack of remorse from many of the Jan. 6 insurrectionists who’ve been convicted of sedition and other crimes. But another part of me wants to believe something else.
regret saying ‘half’ – that was wrong. But let's be clear, what's really ‘deplorable’ is that Donald Trump hired a major advocate for the so-called ‘alt-right’ movement to run his campaign and that David Duke and other White supremacists see him as a champion of their values,' Clinton said.
