Hillary Clinton’s bitter Wellesley commencement address a missed opportunity

Liz Peek Articles CLINTON, GRADUATION, HILLARY, WELLESLEY

As a Wellesley graduate, I was shocked and dismayed by Hillary Clinton’s commencement address. Actually, that is #FakeNews. I was neither shocked nor dismayed by Mrs. Clinton’s speech (but I did graduate from Wellesley – with honors!) It was exactly the kind of self-pitying, leaden and all-about-me performance that I would have expected from the entitled former Democrat candidate and now sore loser.

Also, it revealed this: Hillary hasn’t learned a thing. As her friend Mike Bloomberg recently told an audience of Harvard Business School grads – Hillary lost the election because she had absolutely no message. She still doesn’t.

In addition, she is utterly lacking in self-awareness. She spoke at length about what she sees as a “full-fledged assault on truth and reason,” telling the graduating seniors that “the future of America, indeed the future of the world, depends on brave, thoughtful people like you insisting on truth and integrity right now every day.” This, from a woman who ran for our nation’s highest office while distrusted by nearly two-thirds of the country, with good reason.

In her remarks, Hillary criticized “people” – aka Trump followers, presumably – on social media for “sowing division at a time when we desperately need unity,” and then proceeded to give a highly partisan and divisive speech.

Did she ever consider that there might be families in the audience who voted for her opponent? That they might not enjoy her taking veiled potshots at President Trump, and that this was their daughters’ day too?

Echoing the liberal media, Hillary went after President Trump through innuendo and clichés, talking about the dangers of fomenting fear and of “alternative facts.” Good thing there was no Q&A; someone might have wanted further clarification of how she came under sniper fire in Bosnia, or how a video caused the Benghazi attack or how the Monica Lewinsky scandal stemmed from a “vast right-wing conspiracy” and not Bill Clinton’s unruly libido.

Hillary trod dangerous pathways as she remarked, “when people in power invent their own facts and attack those who question them, it can mark the beginning of the end of a free society.” She is correct, of course, but a cursory review of her multiple dodges and lies about her mishandling of classified information and efforts to destroy evidence reveals a woman who fully earned her low trustworthiness ratings from Americans.

The election is over, but Hillary cannot let it go. This is good news for Republicans. As long as Mrs. Clinton and her loyalists blame James Comey, Vladimir Putin, sexism and the alt-right for her loss, Democrats will never rebuild their bridges to the working class Americans who elected Donald Trump.

Hillary Clinton missed an opportunity at Wellesley. She could have delivered a message of unity, and helped our anxious country begin to heal. Her followers need to see her putting country above politics; they need to see her as she briefly appeared at the inauguration, supporting the peaceful and legitimate transfer of power. Apparently, that is just too heavy a lift for Mrs. Clinton. She is happier nursing her wounds, and continuing to inflict them on the country.

The former First Lady could also have talked about the dramatic changes taking place in our economy, and how women are thriving as entrepreneurs. She could have talked about the founders of Rent the Runway, or Sarah Blakely, who created Spanx, or Essie Weingarten, who bet her life’s savings on a new idea and created a nail polish empire sold to L’Oreal in 2010. These women are inspirational; they didn’t shatter glass ceilings, they ignored them. It is true we need women in politics, and running NGOs, but we also need women making money and boosting the economy. That’s where the funding for free college tuition and refugee services comes from – a lesson Hillary may never have learned.

The New York Times tells us that the students cheered Mrs. Clinton “thunderously.” Of course they did. They have been weaned on courses like “Love and Intimacy” in the Women’s and Gender Studies department or “Changing Gender Constructions in the Modern Middle East” in the History Department.  There’s nothing wrong with those studies, unless they crowd out learning how the progressive policies of Bernie Sanders and Mrs. Clinton have failed in France, for instance, leading to a stagnant economy with few opportunities for progress. Or how capitalism has delivered billions from poverty, including in Communist China, where the growth miracle of recent decades was facilitated by policies that encouraged entrepreneurship and private enterprise.

Hillary Clinton missed some history lessons too, apparently. She alluded to Nixon’s presidency which “would eventually end in disgrace with his impeachment for obstruction of justice.” That isn’t true, of course; Nixon resigned from office. It was her husband Bill who was impeached. Amazing she would get that wrong, in delivering what was sure to be a much-reviewed address. Maybe a little too much of that Chardonnay, Mrs. Clinton?

We live in the freest country on planet earth. The rest of the world envies our freedoms. Meanwhile, we have a political party that is laser-focused on destroying our freedoms. It is not only shocking, but very dangerous.

Congress has not even discussed economy- before spending $1.9 TRILLLION shouldn’t we debate why more "relief" is needed?

Our rebounding economy doesn't need more stimulus checks

It’s apparently impolite to ask, but can someone please explain why Democrats are so keen to send out $1,400 to able-bodied Americans who are still employed?

For four years, Democrats and their handmaidens in the liberal media have lied their heads off, spinning false narratives aimed at undermining President Trump.

With all of the documented and fact checked lies from tRump, this is a satire page, right?

Why not use your gift of writing to bring people together. The curtain has been lifted and we see clearly his tantrums have escalated to violence. Why not write on how we can solve problems together instead of continuing this lie that Americans that don’t vote my party are evil.

Who’s been lying for four years ?? FACT CHECK ! Trumps been lying since he crawled from the slime he still wallows in. Fox, GOP Gingrich, Ailes , you, all professional liars.

All of the non Republicans in the government TOGETHER could not tell as many lies as Mr. Trump – starting with the crown size at the Inauguration.

There's nothing more incredible than a Trump supporter who claims to be concerned about honesty.

So ridiculous.

That you are a professional political writer is truly hilarious.

Ah, you spent your entire column burying the lede:
"But now, to maintain his powerful voice and leadership, he needs to concede. The Left is using his refusal to admit defeat as more proof that he is undermining our democracy. He cannot allow this to be his legacy; his presidency has been so much bigger than that.

Trump should confound the Left, as he has done on so many occasions, by calling off the shaky legal battles and by stepping aside. If only for now."

No wonder you can only find work at Fox News.

You are truly deranged,

thehill.com/opinion/finance/536463-our-rebounding-economy-doesnt-need-more-stimulus-checks yeah, uh uh. This you?

Don’t know why you would share videos of geraldo and joy who are anti trump. You’re part of the deep state Liz.

Liz Peek, you are so full of shit. Your opinions are only yours and create division you pos entitled white Trumper. F u!

You have got to be smoking something! Trump being a lowlife whiny pissant created his own downfall!

Liz, do you like sniffing Trump's butt after he's farted?

You are an idiot. You should be ashamed of trying to prolong this countries horror of the last 4 years. These are times the 1st amendment should be abolished. HE LOST!!!! QUIT BEING A SORE LOSER AND ACT LIKE AN ADULT. And, people like you are only fueling his demented state.

www.foxnews.com/opinion/obama-warning-biden-americans-worried-liz-peek

Produce the exact evidence that Obama ever said this. Better yet, stop writing altogether. You truly are grotesque.

Imagine still thinking the Russia investigation was a witch-hunt.

Go read the REPUBLICAN SENATE report.

Russia tried to help Trump win, because Trump is owned (literally owned) by Russian money. He has a negative net worth.

After the damage done to our democracy, after the murder and mayhem committed by RightWing nuts who actually BELIEVE the vitriol and lies and disinformation spouted by the likes of Liz Peek, she proves that she has no allegiance to the USA, no allegiance to our society (and free elections) and is strictly sycophant of extremist RightWing groups and their propaganda Network, Fox (who supply her with money, thereby giving Liz Peek her "cause" for spreading lies). She's the worst.

Oh honey! Trump is the congenital liar. And remember, in the U.S. a business states it’s rules…No Shirt No Shoes No Service. Don’t follow the rules? Goodbye.

This Peek woman is very very sick.

This election is not over: the China-Hunter-Biden scandal only grows, polls are narrowing – 100+ million people yet to vote. Plus, Joe stepped in it again last night.
Here’s my take on the final debate:

At the final presidential debate, Trump came prepared to show the country that he could be civil, stay (mostly) on topic, and still beat Biden.

Thank you LP. We need more American’s with your insight.

You claim Obama/Biden separated families. Lie. Prove it.

Why was your own son investigated after being abruptly turfed out of the National Security Council? Takes nepotism and corruption to know it so well.

I love your articles. Love the truth. Article on Fox said go to twitter or facebook. I have banned myself from the Democratic control of twitter. I tried other ways posted to contact you and express my gratitude for your fairness. All other channels to contact you seem to be blocked. So… Thankyou and keep fighting for Liberty and Justice!

Here's hoping the investigations into the insurrectionist conspiracy find media outlets like Fox — and bigmouth disinformation spreader like Liz Peek — financially culpable. Hit them in the pocketbook, where it really hurts them.

tRump can't even fundraise as well as Biden – people hate him – except Russian-loving bimbos like you with their heads so far up 45's ass they can't see anything but his polyps. Is that why right wing bimbo Trump horndogs always wear sphincter-colored lip color? Will Putin let you work at his pool house along with 45 and his baby mama sex worker in January? Probably not – after all you're not "an elite" – you're insignificant, irrelevant and inconsequential – just another fading bleached blonde liar. Please make sure to attend his upcoming rally – increase the viral spread! BTW your roots are showing – you even lie about your hair color – looks kind of like the color of a bleached dog turd on a hot August afternoon. Ugly – inside and out.

Good god but you are a stupid vile sack of shit.

The polls are narrowing? LOL electoral-vote.com/

Let's face it Joe Biden is a LIAR & a criminal, Period! Poll 95% say Trump won the debate. Bottom line is Joe ['THE BIG GUY'] Biden flip flops, lies & sells out Americans to enrich himself besides being a crooked & corrupt crime family. PERIOD! Joe was an absolute mess in this last debate! Biden was lying, flip flopping, stuttering, slurring & a forgetful mess. He looked terrible. Sounded terrible. Mic drops where when Trump calls Joe 'THE BIG GUY' & Trump says “They spent 48M on me & found no collusion …nothing. I can spend $1 million on you Joe and find plenty.” LOVE IT WTG TRUMP!! Lt. Tony Bobulinksi confirmed 'THE BIG GUY IS JOE BIDEN & HE GETS 10% [Tony Bobulinski: "There’s no question "H" stands for Hunter & the "Big Guy" is Joe Biden"] & Hunter gets 20%. Tony also said that the Chinese involvement in the deal was for "political or influence investment" on their part, and that "Hunter wanted to use the company as his personal piggy bank by just taking money out of it as soon as it came from the Chinese." Biden's are as corrupt as Clintons, PERIOD!

all over face book biden gaffe re lincoln saying he has new eye computer he was looking up and dint read reply right with all the gadgetry the white house have they should be able to confirm its true or not even if a slight suspicion trump could say biden and his team were corrupt want another debate but biden to be checked by independent electrocis bods and to be screened come on man u know it makes sense je

Does this person get paid to spread this bullshit,Its Fake News.

why didnt trump ask biden why he and obuma didnt setthe record straight when the media nd the nad four said it was trump that did the cages ask trump just ask that at a press gathering or the lady that does the daily white house chat

The fuck
