Hillary Clinton hits Americans as gullible, says they don't 'appreciate' Biden accomplishments
By: Brandon Gillespie
More democrat elites talking down to the American people. The sheer condescending arrogance coming out of the mouth of that evil woman knows no bounds. She’s almost as bad at this as Biden is. They think that we can’t really see what is going on in our lives and the economy around us. Her words to madcow were stunning in their lies and deceptions. We the people know what is happening and we do not need bi coastal secular progressive elites telling us otherwise.

Hillary Clinton hits Americans as gullible, says they don't 'appreciate' Biden accomplishments
'There is a real vulnerability in the electorate to ... demagoguery and disinformation'
Failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Tuesday praised the legislative accomplishments of President Biden while appearing to claim that everyday Americans didn't understand or "appreciate" them.
During an appearance on MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show," Clinton complained about the successful "exploiting" of social media misinformation by Republicans, blaming the lack of "gatekeepers" and "people with a historic perspective" to help Americans understand what they were seeing.

"You know, democracy is messy. You know, a lot of people got, oh I think, kind of frustrated looking at the messy process of legislation. And they didn’t really appreciate that, within a year, the Biden administration has passed two major pieces of legislation through both the House and the Senate," Clinton said, referencing the coronavirus relief bill and the infrastructure bill that were both signed into law this year.
She also mentioned the massive Democrat-backed social spending bill that passed the House last week but has almost no chance of passing in its current form in the Senate.
"By any measure those are extraordinary accomplishments … But because of the way we are getting our information today, and because of the lack of gatekeepers and people who have a historic perspective who can help us understand what we are seeing, there is a real vulnerability in the electorate to the kind of demagoguery and disinformation that, unfortunately, the other side is really good at exploiting," she added.

Clinton's comments join what appears to be a growing trend by Democrats questioning the perception of Americans when it comes to the economic issues that affect their everyday lives. Democrats are facing a potentially difficult midterm cycle next year following a crushing loss in Virginia's gubernatorial election .
MEDIA GASLIGHTS AMERICANS ON ‘TRANSITORY INFLATION’: MIKE ROWE
Earlier this month, Biden appeared to question everyday Americans' understanding of how the supply chain worked and how it affected the availability of goods and services while answering reporters' questions at a news conference.
Biden claimed it was "a confusing time" for Americans.

Last week, Fox Business host Mike Rowe argued that the media was also playing a significant role in "gaslighting" people across the country when he asserted that they were being told things affecting them, such as high gas prices, weren't actually happening.
"We're in a world where people are doing things that we can see, but we're being told that that's not happening … And when you start to stack those things up, it's enough to make you look over your shoulder and think, you know, am I being punked, right?" he said.

I can see how she thinks Americans are gullible. Thirty years after being identified as a "congenital liar" in the New York Times she was still able to gull large swaths of the American public, the media and the FBI with something as flimsy as the Steele Dossier. She knows that no matter how ridiculous she lies, millions of Americans will unthinkingly accept it as revelation from on high.
The right pre-wrote a script where Biden would be portrayed as a senile bungler led around by The Squad. To their evil credit they have stuck pretty well to the script for the first year but there are signs this is starting to change for the country as a whole.
The right pre-wrote a script? Lol, no, biden writes the script every time he talks about things they used to call tornadoes that wreak havoc on the wetlands of iowa and nevada in the middle of the country. Signs of dementia were evident during the primaries and they are becoming more apparent with time. Let’s go brandon.
OK, um . . . This is kind of a deceitful little article.
Nowhere in this video does she even use the word “gullible.” Everything she says about the way people receive information these days is true.
The author is trying to spin what she said to demonize her. They are trying to create a new “deplorables” moment.
Just read what she actually said:
That’s all true. The news media along with the internet has completely transformed the way people get information over the last decade or two. It is defined by headlines and clips that present an incomplete story and often show things very much out of context. Partisans and extremists on both ends of the political spectrum abuse this grab bag of quasi-information every day to influence people who don’t have the whole story.
Tell me I’m wrong! Somebody prove me wrong. Somebody prove Clinton wrong on this point. It’s the truth!
Did you not read this end little snippet? Please don't tell me anyone believes that it is just Republicans that manipulate people with disinformation. The Democrats and leftist media wrote the book on it. Hell, Hillary Clinton is the damn co-author of the book!
So yes, Hillary is calling the voting public gullible- but only to right wing disinformation. She thinks we need to be protected. We do, but it is from criminal vultures like her.
Yep
Extreme partisans often claim that only the other side does bad things.
She is certainly the pot calling the kettle black, but what she says about the nature of information and how it used to persuade/fool people is true.
Americans are gullible, [deleted]
Well there Hillary, when you figure out just what those "accomplishments" are, please do let America know. I sure have not seen any....
I never expected much TBH, but he isn’t Trump which is 100% the reason I voted for him. Cannot fucking stand Donald Trump.
