Mrs. Clinton is the epitome of the Democratic establishment, a career politician out of touch with the concerns of everyday American women.
Mrs. Clinton is the first presumptive presidential nominee ever who is also being investigated by the FBI on suspicion of compromising the nation’s security with her private email server and cavalier handling of classified information.
Mrs. Clinton talked Tuesday night about the women at Seneca Falls who fought for women’s rights but notably failed to embrace the spirit of these early feminists who were pro-life and fought for women and their children.
She tweeted last year that “every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed, and supported,” but obviously that sentiment did not apply back in the 1990s when she dismissed Monica Lewinsky as a “narcissistic loony toon” and helped discredit and destroy the reputations of other women such as Gennifer Flowers and Kathleen Willey. Ms. Willey, who was sexually harassed by President Clinton, stated that Hillary used “moblike tactics” to silence her.
Clinton Foundation, which accepted tens of millions of dollars from nations with disturbing records on women’s rights, gender discrimination and violence against women and children such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Algeria.
turning a blind eye to Bill Clinton’s sexual misconduct — all for the sake of political power.
“I believe that the rights of women and girls is the unfinished business of the 21st Century.” So said Hillary Clinton in a 2011 interview with Newsweek.
As First Lady, Hillary Clinton, along with her then President husband Bill Clinton, did more than anyone to make the lives of poor and working class women and girls all the more precarious
For Clinton, what matters is not the material reality of women’s lives, but rather how best to exploit them for political gain.
Clinton was instrumental in ginning up support for the passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA).
feminist scholars Alejandra Marchevsky and Jeanne Theoharis noted:
“[PRWORA’s] legacy still ripples through the country, where families remain as poor as—or, in many cases, poorer than—before, but with one crucial difference: Today, the “reformed” welfare system provides little safety net, and no hand-up. Instead, it traps poor mothers into exploitative, poverty-wage jobs and dangerous personal situations, deters them from college, and contributes to the growing trend of poor mothers who can neither find a job nor access public assistance. It is our failed social policy—not simply the recession—that is responsible for crisis-level poverty in the United States.”
One should remember the children of Haiti living in inhumane conditions thanks in no small part to the continued exploitation of their country by the likes of Bill, Hillary, and the Clinton Global Initiative.

the Hillary Doctrine. Hillary Clinton herself defined it, “the subjugation of women [is] a threat to the common security of our world and to the national security of our country.”
in Saudi Arabia, the subordination of women is as peculiar and pernicious an institution as was slavery in the antebellum South.
reports have emerged concerning large donations to her family’s foundation from countries including Algeria, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and, of course, Saudi Arabia—a rogues’ gallery of governments with poor records on women’s issues. Child marriage is not uncommon because there is no legal minimum age to wed. For the bride, consent isn’t even required, and indeed, a woman (or girl) need not even be present for her own marriage, as long as her male guardian and her groom agree.
Clinton’s material actions have often been decidedly less woman-friendly, starting with the war on teachers — disproportionately black women — she conducted in Arkansas; running through her service on the board of Walmart, a notoriously sexist operation, about which she said nothing
her support of welfare reform, an abomination that deserves more than a grudging sentence of concession for having driven millions of women and children into poverty. (She called welfare recipients “deadbeats,
False Feminism: Hillary Clinton And Her Financial Backers Are No Friends To Women

Donors from Saudi Arabia gave millions to the Clinton Foundation, a nonprofit operated by Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, despite Saudi Arabia’s appalling record on women’s rights. In return for their financial support, Hillary Clinton helped Saudi Arabia obtain billions in military equipment from the U.S.
a look at some of her top donors suggests Clinton favors the rights of Wall Street over that of American women. During her 2008 presidential campaign, Clinton’s top donors included finance and investment industry giants like JPMorgan Chase & Co, Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, and Citigroup — some of the same corporations that caused a massive global financial crash in 2007 that led to an unprecedented wave of job losses and home evictions.
Women and children suffered most from the poor economy, according to a 2013 article from Mercedes White, a reporter for Deseret News
Voters may find it instructive to consider whether black people are better off after the U.S. elected its first black president. The opposite is true, according to Dr. Reginald Clark, writing for Black Agenda Report.
“Black misery has been growing since 2009 under President Obama’s economic and job creation policies. Black folks participation in the labor market has been steadily moving DOWNWARD during the Obama presidency – since 2009 when he was first inaugurated,” Clark commented in 2013.
