In her latest book, “The Fall of Roe: The Rise of a New America,” Hillary Clinton offers an in-depth analysis of the American political scene and the factors she believes contributed to her 2016 presidential election defeat. The book is a frank examination of the role women voters played in the outcome of the election, with Clinton often criticizing these voters for their perceived betrayal.
Clinton’s Analysis of Her Presidential Campaign
“The Fall of Roe: The Rise of a New America” is a comprehensive dissection of Clinton’s failed bid for presidency. She doesn’t hesitate to assign blame where she sees fit, painting a grim picture for a potential second Trump term where fundamental rights and principles could be at risk. Despite this bleak projection, Clinton frequently returns to critique female voters who she feels let her down.
Contention Over Women Voters
Clinton’s narrative stirs controversy with her criticism towards women voters. She argues that these voters abandoned her after then-FBI Director James Comey reopened her email investigation just before the election. “But once he did that to me, the people, the voters who left me, were women,” Clinton states. Her point suggests that societal double standards required perfection from her as a woman candidate while overlooking Trump’s flaws merely because he matched the traditional image of a president.
Critique on Wider Political Issues
Clinton’s critique goes beyond personal grievances to address broader political issues. She criticizes Democrats for their failure to protect abortion rights federally when they controlled Congress. According to Clinton, Democrats such as Joe Biden often hesitated in prioritizing abortion legislation which has now resulted in severe consequences.
Criticism Beyond Party Lines
Her criticisms are not limited within party lines either. The former Secretary of State also points fingers at four Supreme Court justices—John Roberts, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett—whom she accuses of being strategically positioned by conservatives to overturn Roe v. Wade. She cautions that this is just the start of a wider conservative agenda that could undo decades of progress in various civil rights issues.
Trump’s Strategic Stance on Abortion Rights
Interestingly, Clinton acknowledges Trump’s strategic position on abortion rights. By aligning himself with pro-life advocates, Trump was able to gain substantial support from women despite numerous allegations of misconduct against him. “Politically, he threw his lot in with the right on abortion and was richly rewarded,” Clinton notes.
Accusations Against Clinton
Similar to Stacey Abrams, some critics accuse Clinton of shifting blame for her electoral loss onto others instead of accepting personal responsibility.
