Hillary Clinton Shreds Women for Her Loss to Trump in New Book

If anyone had doubts that Donald Trump continues to live rent-free in the head of his 2016 rival, Hillary Clinton put any question to rest with the release of her new book.

Titled “The Fall of Roe: The Rise of a New America,” Clinton offers her dystopian predictions for America that no one asked for: a world under President Trump where women are second-class citizens and abortion is federally outlawed, despite the Republican’s promise to leave action up to state governments. Predictably, Clinton assigns blame to everyone except herself, as the New York Times notes:

Even when they held control of Congress, Democrats were unwilling to pass legislation codifying abortion rights into federal law. While frequently mentioned in passing to rally their base during election season, the issue rarely rose to the top of their legislative or policy agenda. Many Democrats, including President Biden, often refused even to utter the word.

Mrs. Clinton did not express regret for any inaction herself. Rather, she said her efforts to raise alarms during her 2016 campaign went unheeded and were dismissed as “alarmist” by voters, politicians and members of her own party. In that race, she had talked about the threats to abortion rights on the campaign trail and most memorably in the third presidential debate, vowing to protect Roe when Mr. Trump promised to appoint judges who would overturn it.

Now, as the country prepares to face its third referendum on Mr. Trump, she offered a stark warning about the 2024 election. A second Trump administration would go far beyond abortion rights to target women’s health care, gay rights, civil rights — and even the core tenets of American democracy itself, she said.

Surely her former Senate colleagues did not appreciate her reprimands over failing to push back harder against four Supreme Court justices — John G. Roberts Jr., Neil M. Gorsuch, Brett M. Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett — who she claims were “teed up to do the bidding” of conservatives seeking to undo Roe. Neither must female voters appreciate her accusation that they fled her 2016 campaign in droves after former FBI Director James Comey reopened the case of her missing emails just months before Election Day.

“But once he did that to me, the people, the voters who left me, were women,” she said, the Times reported. “They left me because they just couldn’t take a risk on me, because as a woman, I’m supposed to be perfect. They were willing to take a risk on Trump — who had a long list of, let’s call them flaws, to illustrate his imperfection — because he was a man, and they could envision a man as president and commander in chief.”

Back then, much as today, the accusations of sexual harassment and assault lobbied against Trump haven’t prevented him from rocketing in the polls and carrying sizable portions of the female vote. Clinton credits her former rival for papering over those concerns with promises to implement a pro-life agenda, something that many women support.

“Politically, he threw his lot in with the right on abortion and was richly rewarded,” she said.
