The stars of Fox News’ “Outnumbered” battled it out Wednesday over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s habit of putting her foot in her mouth — and whether President Donald Trump was worse for his political party than Hillary.
Hillary’s recent outbursts about “racist” and “sexist” supporters of Trump echoed her statements in the summer of 2017 when she labeled them a “basket of deplorables.” Political experts say the comment hurt her badly at the polls.
This weekend, Hillary said only “forward” thinkers voted for her — and Trump only won “backwards” voters.
“I won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward,” said Hillary over the weekend. “[Trump’s] whole campaign, ‘Make America Great Again,’ was looking backwards.”
The self-centered comment left Democrats running for office furious with anger that Hillary would alienate voters like she did in 2016.
“She put herself in a position where [Democrats] from states that Trump won will have to distance themselves from her even more,” one former senior Clinton aide told The Hill. “That’s a lot of states.”
The hosts of “Outnumbered” called the remarks “patronizing” and shows the contempt coastal elites have for American voters — especially women voters.
“She’s talking about Republican women only vote how their husbands tell them. Therefore they are victims. They can’t think for themselves because of their political party? But what she is saying, the subtext there, is ‘They should have voted for me, so I can make decisions for them.’,” Fox News star Lisa Kennedy said.
Co-host Harris Faulkner agreed, and said Trump doesn’t put out “a treasure trove for the opposite party” like Hillary does — and it sent liberal panelist Jessica Tarlov into a frenzy.
“He said innumerable things that you can run in an ad until the end of time. I could cut 50 ads right now before the end of this segment!” Tarvlov responded.
The panel spared back and forth over the political scandals that have dogged both Hillary and Trump, and the effects the two would have on the 2018 midterm election as either an asset or a liability to their political party.
