RFK Jr. BLASTS Hillary Clinton For Suggesting Trump Supporters Should Be Deprogrammed
Democratic Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called out Hillary Clinton for suggesting Trump supporters should be deprogrammed.
Kennedy took to X and posted “Hillary Clinton commented on CNN suggesting that MAGA supporters need “formal deprogramming.” Brings to mind reeducation camps and Communist-style political indoctrination.”
RFK Jr. dug a little deeper and wrote “It is that the partisan divide has widened to the point where one side sees the other as not just wrong in their political opinions, but mentally and morally ill.”

RFK Jr. continued:
And that is contrary to the spirit of democracy. Democracy requires a broad sense of civic inclusion. Democracy is the “rule of the people.” But if we are at each other’s throats, there is no “the people.” #Kennedy24

Per Newsmax:
Make America Great Again Inc., the super PAC backing former President Donald Trump, on Friday slammed Hillary Clinton, his 2016 presidential campaign opponent, after she called for a “formal deprogramming” of his supporters, who she called “cult members.”
“President Trump has said countless times that they are only coming after him because he stands in their way from coming after you — and Hillary Clinton just confirmed that to be true,” MAGA Inc. spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. “Tens of millions of Americans will reject the Democrat Party’s re-education camp agenda in November 2024 when we make Donald Trump the 47th President of the United States.”
Clinton, in remarks during an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour that will air Monday, said Trump will likely be the GOP nominee in 2024 but that President Joe Biden can defeat him.
Clinton also discussed the ouster of now-former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, strongly denouncing the conservatives who led the vote.

Here’s what The New York Post shared:
Failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton called supporters of former President Donald Trump “cult members” who require “formal deprogramming” while explaining in a CNN interview why Democrats needed to defeat the Republican front-runner and his allies.
“We had very strong partisans in both parties in the past, and we had very bitter battles over all kinds of things — gun control and climate change and the economy and taxes — but there wasn’t this little tail of extremism, waving, you know, wagging the dog of the Republican Party as it is today,” Clinton told host Christiane Amanpour.
“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,” she went on, referring to the 77-year-old’s Make America Great Again slogan. “He’s only in it for himself.”
