Conservatives Condemn Clinton’s ‘White Men of a Certain Religion’ Remark From MSNBC Interview

Critics cite heightened sensitivity after Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Overview

  • On Morning Joe last week, Hillary Clinton said attempts to recreate a past dominated by “white men of a certain persuasion, a certain religion” are doing damage to the country.
  • Family Research Council president Tony Perkins told Fox News that Americans have rejected the leftward trajectory Clinton defends and criticized her characterization.
  • Heritage Foundation policy chief Roger Severino called the comment beyond tone-deaf and said it reinforces her “basket of deplorables” view of conservative white Christian men.
  • Concerned Women for America’s Penny Nance defended “strong men” and rejected the notion of toxic masculinity in response to Clinton’s framing.
  • Right-leaning outlets and social media users denounced the remark, with some linking it to tensions after Charlie Kirk’s Sept. 10 assassination, and no apology or clarification from Clinton was reported.
