September 9, 2016, will forever be a day that will haunt Hillary Rodham Clinton. It was the day she made a fatal mistake that ultimately cost her the presidency. In New York City, while addressing her supporters, she arrogantly declared her plans to pass comprehensive gun laws and create an AIDS-free generation. But it was what she said next that would come back to haunt her.
Hillary Calls for America to Unify Behind Biden to Fight 'Election Denialism,' Gets Roasted by Social Media https://t.co/qfthZ3KsCJ

In a moment of sheer complacency, Hillary decided to insult and belittle half of Donald Trump’s supporters. She referred to them as the “basket of deplorables,” including racists, sexists, homophobes, xenophobes, and Islamophobes. Little did she know that these words would seal her fate.
The next 60 days would unfold in a whirlwind of events, and while the “basket of deplorables” didn’t singlehandedly sink her campaign, it certainly played a significant role. It was a defining moment that would be etched in history.
Fast forward to present day, and Hillary seems to have conveniently forgotten about that teachable moment. Taking to social media, she urges Democrats to unite behind Joe Biden and chastises Trump for his alleged “election denialism.” The irony is palpable.
Not only was Hillary guilty of election denialism herself in 2016, but her party has a history of it. From the 2000 and 2004 elections to the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial campaign, Democrats have consistently cried foul when things didn’t go their way.
And let’s not forget about Joe Biden’s recent slip-up when he referred to Terry McAuliffe as the “real governor” of Virginia, despite the fact that he lost the 2021 election. It seems election denialism runs rampant in their ranks.
But Hillary has the audacity to lecture us about voting against “election denialism.” Perhaps she should take her own advice and step aside. The American people have had enough of her and her party’s hypocrisy. It’s time for them to resign and make way for leaders who actually uphold the principles of democracy.
Or better yet, maybe Hillary should just keep her mouth shut. After all, she hasn’t learned anything from the “basket of deplorables” debacle. It’s clear that she is not a political exemplar, and her words hold no weight. It’s time to move on from the past and focus on the future. And that future does not include Hillary Clinton.
