Hillary Clinton is facing strong backlash after comments she made on MSNBC’s Morning Joe last week, where she suggested that white men of a “certain religion” were responsible for causing significant harm to the United States.
Clinton, who served as secretary of state, said:
“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. We were on the path to that… We were on the right trajectory.”
Her remarks sparked immediate criticism online, with many accusing her of spreading division and hostility—particularly in the wake of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk’s assassination 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 person wrote on X.
Others blasted her for fueling hatred:
-
“Hillary Clinton makes yet another case for violence against white Christian men – the constant drumbeat against huge segments of the population is dehumanizing and dangerous. Her focus on Christianity is chilling – especially given the fact that she can’t bring herself to even name the religion.”
-
“The spread of evil continues,” another user posted.

One critic added that Clinton didn’t sound “very egalitarian,” asking: “Would she like us to assume that, while the contributions of all Americans are welcome, some are more welcome than others?”
During the same interview, Clinton also argued that some conservatives are seeking to “turn the clock back” on equality and erase inconvenient parts of U.S. 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, condemned Clinton’s statements, telling Fox News that her comments showed she was out of touch.
“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.”
