In an interview with CNN, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called for the “formal deprogramming of the cult members” of Trump. On Friday, conservatives were angry about Clinton’s recent plan to “formally deprogramme” people who supported former President Donald Trump.
Clinton made the claim in an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Thursday. After she did, many well-known Republicans and GOP lawmakers criticized the high-profile Democrat.
During the interview, Clinton said that she felt sorry for how hard political arguments have become in the United States because Trump supporters have taken over the Republican Party. “I mean, we had very strong partisans in both parties in the past, and we fought very bitterly over all sorts of things,” she said. But there wasn’t this tiny bit of extreme wagging on the Republican Party’s tail like there is now.
This was Trump’s fault, and Clinton said, “And sadly, so many of those extremists, those MAGA extremists follow Donald Trump’s lead, who has no credibility left by any measure.” He only wants what’s best for himself. His defense is now being used in both civil and criminal cases. When are they going to break up with him?”
