Just when we thought it was safe to ignore Hillary Clinton, safe to let her waddle off into political irrelevancy, she gives us reason to assail her anew.

Yesterday, the World’s Worst Presidential Candidate sat down with CNN’s equally grizzled and equally unhinged Christiane Amanpour to tell the network’s dozens of viewers what a bad guy Donald Trump is, and what a gullible bunch of deplorables he has for supporters.

She didn’t disappoint. The two began by discussing the ouster of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, when Hillary compared what she called the “sane” part of Republican Party with the “cult” wing devoted to Trump.

Here we should note that this “wing” Hillary speaks of isn’t a wing at all. It’s a body. It’s a strong majority. Much as she’d like to deny it, a recent poll from The Washington Post and ABC News has Trump polling 10 points ahead of her party’s standard-bearer in a head-to-head matchup.

Nonetheless, Hillary harkened back to the days of yore, to those halcyon days when Republican presidential candidates from George H.W. Bush to Bob Dole to John McCain to Mitt Romney simply accepted their fate as roadkill for the mainstream media and the Clinton-Obama machine. “That’s the way it used to be,” she told Amanpour yesterday. “I mean, we had very strong partisans in both parties in the past, and we had very bitter battles over all kinds of things … but there wasn’t this little tail of extremism, waving, you know, wagging the dog of the Republican Party as it is today. And sadly, so many of those extremists, those MAGA extremists take their marching orders from Donald Trump, who has no credibility left by any measure. He’s only in it for himself. He’s now defending himself in civil actions and criminal actions. And when do they break with him?”

And then the Clintonian kicker: “You know, because, at some point, you know, maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members, but something needs to happen.”

Ah, Hillary. She does politics like Yoko Ono sings. We wonder, though: Are there any other examples of cultishness out there, of political figures whose supporters repeat his slogans and wear his merchandise and hang on his every Hopey Changey word?

Her Lowness is the gift that keeps on giving. As Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt put it, “Hillary Clinton who called half the country a ‘basket of deplorables’ advocates for re-education camps … err 'deprograming.’ Democrats should get her on TV and on the campaign trail more often.”

We’ll say this about Donald Trump: He has great taste in enemies.

Perhaps we’re being a bit unfair toward Hillary. After all, she’s been through a lot. And we’ve never walked in her shoes, never stood by a spouse who’d made a laughingstock of us, never presented a geopolitical foe with a stupid “reset” button, never blew a presidential race that The New York Times gave us a 99% chance of winning.

It’s one thing for a politician to denounce the opposing candidate, but it’s another thing to denounce the voters — unless, of course, one is simply stating a matter of fact, such as the historical truth that Democrat voters tend to be less-informed, more low-information, than Republican voters. (Pew Research used to conduct such a survey every year, but they discontinued it long ago when the repeated results — which consistently showed Republicans to have a better grasp of the issues than Democrats — became too demoralizing for them and their fellow elitists.)

As for Hillary’s comments, though, they weren’t made in a vacuum. Her friends and fellow travelers at the FBI were no doubt listening, just as they were when she seeded the whole Russia collusion hoax with that bought-and-paid-for dossier. And with marching orders like these, is it any wonder that the once-proud but now woefully corrupt bureau is targeting Trump supporters in the run-up to the 2024 election? It’s stunning, yes, but true: “The federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbances around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great,” Newsweek writes, “that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump’s army of MAGA followers.”

Never fear, though. In a statement to Newsweek, the FBI said it wasn’t targeting Republicans over Democrats. “These violent extremists have targeted both Republican and Democratic members of Congress,” the bureau said.

Uh-huh.

Nothing to see here, folks. Move along. Unless you’re a MAGA Republican. In which case, you’d better watch what you say and do.
