Hillary Clinton, the same person that described a group of Republicans as “a basket of deplorables,” outdid herself during an interview. Clinton suggested deprograming Donald Trump’s supporters. Clinton looked back at a time where despite both sides doing what opposing politicians do, the GOP didn’t have its “tail of extremism.”<\/p>\n

Discussing the recent upheaval on Capitol Hill, Clinton contrasted what she called the “sane” part of the GOP caucus who helped prevent a government shutdown with the “cult” wing devoted to Trump.<\/p>\n

“That’s the way it used to be,” Clinton told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Thursday. “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?”<\/p>\n

Clinton continued, “Because at some point, you know, maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members, but something needs to happen.”<\/p>\n

That remark appeared to amuse Amanpour, who could be seen gleefully reacting to Clinton.<\/p>\n

The former presidential hopeful predicted that “sadly” Trump will be the 2024 nominee, but expressed confidence that President Biden would defeat him. Clinton was then asked how she has “processed” the reality that the man who defeated her in 2016 is seeking the White House again despite his legal battles.<\/p>\n

“It’s a classic tale of an authoritarian populist who really has a grip on the emotional, psychological needs and desires of a portion of the population,” Clinton said. “And the base of the Republican Party, for whatever combination of reasons — and it is emotional and psychological — sees in him someone who speaks for them, and they are determined that they will continue to vote for him, attend his rallies, wear his merchandise because for whatever reason, he and his very negative, nasty form of politics resonates with them.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
