Hillary Clinton is facing widespread criticism after comments she made last week on MSNBC’s Morning Joe singled out white men of “a certain religion” as doing “such damage” to the United States, as reported by The New York Post.
During the interview, the former secretary of state discussed conservatives she claimed were attempting to “turn the clock back” on equality.
“The idea that you could turn the clock back and try to recreate a world that never was dominated by, you know, let’s say it: white men of a certain persuasion, a certain religion, a certain point of view, a certain ideology, it’s just doing such damage to what we should be aiming for,” Clinton said. “We were on the path to that … We were on the right trajectory.”

The remarks drew immediate backlash online, with critics accusing Clinton of promoting division and hostility. Some noted that her comments came less than two weeks after Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated in Utah on September 10.
“Two weeks after Charlie Kirk is assassinated, Hillary Clinton reminds everyone that white Christian men are dangerous and doing damage to America. These people have no intention of turning down the temperature. They know they’re encouraging what happened,” one user posted on X.

Others questioned her commitment to equality. “Would she like us to assume that, while the contributions of all Americans are welcome, some are more welcome than others?” one critic asked, while another said bluntly, “The spread of evil continues.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Clinton accused conservatives of erasing history. “Some people are actually scared about what’s going on in our country,” she said.
“The idea of we the people, that all men and women are created equal, that seems to be in the crosshairs of those on the right who want to turn the clock back on the progress that has been made, writing out huge chunks of our history, slavery, suffrage, anything inconvenient, you know, take it out of museums, take it out of national parks.”
Roger Severino, vice president of domestic policy at the Heritage Foundation, criticized Clinton’s remarks in comments to Fox News.
“It’s beyond tone-deaf for Hillary to proclaim that conservative white Christian men are what’s wrong with America while the nation mourns the loss of Charlie Kirk,” Severino said.
“At least it confirms what we all suspected, that Hillary still believes millions of Americans belong in her ‘basket of deplorables’ based on their sex, race, and sincere religious beliefs.”
Clinton has not responded further to the backlash.
