Clinton Criticizes Christian White Men, Slams Trump Autism Claims (Video)

Background

By Stefan J. Bos, Worthy News Chief International Correspondent

NEW YORK (Worthy News) – Former U.S. First Lady Hillary Clinton has appeared to condemn Christian white men and their faith less than two weeks after the assassination of born-again Christian conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

She made her remarks as a studio guest on MSNBC’s Morning Joe program, which aired live on Wednesday from New York City. Clinton spoke amid reported rising church attendance and revival meetings following Kirk’s killing earlier this month while addressing students on a college campus in southern Utah.

Clinton began by telling hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski she loved her country “warts and all” and praised America as “a work in progress.” But in what Christian critics viewed as an attack on their faith and Kirk’s Turning Point USA movement, she added:

“And the idea that you could turn the clock back and try to recreate a world that never was dominated by — you know, let’s say it — white men of a certain persuasion, a certain religion, a certain point of view, a certain ideology — it’s just doing such damage to what we should be aiming for.”

She stressed that America had been “on the path” toward improvement, imperfectly, with lots of bumps along the way.”

SHOOTER’S POLITICS

Her remarks came in response to a discussion about U.S. history and its survival through slavery and the Civil War. Soon after her TV appearance, a Christian influencer warned on social media: “There is coming a day soon where Christians will be slaughtered for their faith.” Some have already described Kirk as the first Christian martyr in modern-day America.

Family and friends of the 22-year-old accused of fatally shooting Kirk described his politics as drifting left in recent years as he spent significant amounts of time in what Utah Governor Spencer Cox called “the dark corners of the internet.”

Clinton also aimed at the U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and President Donald J. Trump after their press conference linking Tylenol and childhood vaccines to autism.

“Don’t take Tylenol,” Trump instructed pregnant women repeatedly on Monday, also urging mothers not to give the drug to infants. Tylenol maker Kenvue disputed any link and warned that avoiding the medicine could leave pregnant women facing untreated fevers or riskier alternatives. The company’s stock plummeted by 7.5 percent on the news, erasing roughly $2.6 billion in market value.

Trump further suggested that vaccine ingredients or closely timed shots could contribute to autism, despite promoting rapid COVID-19 vaccine rollout in his first term during the pandemic.

CLINTON’S WARNING

Clinton dismissed the remarks: “I mean, this is so crazy, it’s so wrongheaded, it’s so shortsighted. And it’s going to cause deaths.”

She added, “Too many Americans are listening to this destructive anti-science tirade. And it’s going to cost lives. It already is costing lives.”

White House spokesman Kush Desai responded sharply, saying Clinton’s “open contempt and condescension towards everyday Americans is exactly why she so devastatingly lost in 2016 to President Trump and why she’s no longer relevant.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), autism now affects 1 in 31 U.S. children, a sharp rise from recent years. Several experts counter the increase is mainly due to broader definitions of the disorder and better diagnoses, although at least some professionals caution that more research is needed.

The critics emphasize that there is no single cause of autism and that both genetic and environmental factors are at play — not Tylenol or vaccines, but Trump and others suggest otherwise.

RARE PRAISE

Clinton did offer rare praise for Trump’s foreign policy stance, welcoming his recent comment that Ukraine “is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form.”

Her remarks underscored how the debates over Christian faith, public health, and foreign policy continue to deepen divisions in the United States.
