She urged Democrats and Republicans to engage in productive debates about issues like climate change and the economy, rather than resorting to personal attacks and impeachment efforts based on political disagreement. Clinton referred to her experience in the Senate and encouraged House extremists to do the work they were elected to do, such as holding committee meetings, marking up legislation, and taking votes.
Clinton concluded by highlighting the importance of returning to the “regular order” of governing and criticized the use of Twitter fights and insults as an inappropriate way to conduct themselves as a great country. With her strong words, Clinton made it clear that she believes the current state of politics is not the way the country should behave.
Clinton’s criticism of Trump and the GOP is nothing new, but her passionate plea for a return to respectful, fact-based political discussions is worth considering. The divisiveness and personal attacks in politics have gone too far and are detrimental to the nation. It’s time for both parties to set aside their differences and find common ground on important issues for the betterment of the country.
