I find this offensive in many respects. I guarantee, Churchill would not be down with Clinton. His generation would view her as a threat to capitalism and liberty.
I read many books of his, including an 800+ page biography and some of his books that he wrote, including his war experiences, both in combat and as PM. Sorry Hillary, she is so far off base with this, it's not even funny.
Trump is far more polarizing, and like Churchill he has to face many detractors who don't have a clue how the global socialists present a real and present danger to U.S National Security.
Clinton on being a polarizing figure: 'I'm sure they said that about Churchill between the wars'
Hillary Clinton, in an interview with a British newspaper this week, appeared to compare herself to wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill while responding to a question about being a polarizing figure.
“I’m sure they said that about Churchill between the wars, didn’t they?” she told The Guardian when asked if she should withdraw from public life to help heal divisions in the U.S., given her reputation.
The 2016 Democratic presidential nominee then immediately claimed she wasn't actually comparing herself to Churchill, before going on to elaborate on the analogy.
Churchill went into the political wilderness between the two World Wars and during that time was a key voice criticizing then-Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain’s policy of appeasement toward Adolf Hitler. He would go on to become prime minister himself and help lead the Allies to victory in World War II.
The Guardian report notes that Clinton made the Churchill reference “a fraction too quickly for the line to sound spontaneous.”
Clinton continued: “I mean, I’m not comparing myself, but I’m just saying people said that, but he was right about Hitler, and a lot of people in England were wrong. And Churchill was a pain. He kept popping up all the time.”
