Here's Why Hillary's Anti-Alt-Right Speech Lacks Credibility

Hillary Clinton is expected to make a speech today denouncing the "alt-Right" movement, its support for Donald Trump and Trump's encouragement of their efforts.


Naturally, I have no sympathy for the "alt-Right". If given the opportunity, it would put Jews back into gas chambers. They certainly don't like me and that's just fine. I wear their derision as a badge of honor.


With that said, just as I don't think Trump is any position to call Hillary a bigot I also don't think Hillary is in any position to be the arbiter of extremism in this country. Consider that it was nearly a year ago to this day Hillary likened Republicans to terrorist groups:


Republican presidential candidates are striking back Friday after Hillary Clinton compared some of them who hold conservative views on abortion and women's reproductive rights to "terrorist groups."

During a riff Thursday where Clinton name checked Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Clinton said Republicans are "dead wrong for 21st century America."

"Now, extreme views about women, we expect that from some of the terrorist groups, we expect that from people who don't want to live in the modern world, but it's a little hard to take from Republicans who want to be the president of the United States," Clinton said at a speech in Cleveland. "Yet they espouse out of date, out of touch policies. They are dead wrong for 21st century America. We are going forward, we are not going back."

If Hillary is willing to liken John Kasich, Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio to ISIS then what Republican doesn't she consider to be an extremist? Let us remember that in the Democrat debate last November, Hillary bragged that Republicans were the enemy she was proudest to have and stood by that comment as recently as last month.

Simply put, Democrats consider all Republicans to be racists, extremists and terrorists with the Obama White House leading the charge. Earlier today, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest accused Republicans of having a long history of courting extremists and accusing the GOP of disenfranchising minority voters.

Hillary Clinton, the Obama White House and Democrats at large cry racism and extremism where it concerns Republicans so often that by the time they do draw attention to a genuine case of racism and extremism within the Republican Party their words have no weight and their credibility is compromised. Consequently, many people who might have otherwise listened simply tune out.
