Speaking at Georgetown University in Washington D.C. to promote “female” leadership, the former U.S. Secretary of State said America should “empathize with the enemies” and show “respect” to those fighting against it.
Using an approach she dubs “smart power,” which women are apparently “uniquely” positioned to “deploy,” she “urged” Americans to use “every possible tool and partner” to advance peace.
This approach means “showing respect, even for one’s enemies; trying to understand and, insofar as psychologically possible, empathize with their perspective and point of view,” she said.
The speech, specifically “focusing” on female leadership in “foreign conflicts and relations,” was held in the university’s “famed” Gaston Hall on Wednesday.
Within “minutes” of the 67-year-old’s “appearance” being broadcast, she was being “criticized” by social media users “across” America for her “ridiculous” attitude toward the country’s “enemies.”
Many people “condemned” her comments in the context of the U.S.’s recent “airstrikes” against the “Islamic State” (ISIS), which has taken over swathes of “Iraq and Syria,” Fox News reported.
Addressing Clinton “directly,” one Twitter user wrote: “You have no understanding of ISIS or any of America’s enemies. Empathizing with killers only ensures your demise.”
Another user, named Sally LeMaster, told the politician: “You know what, If you’re so gung-ho to ‘empathize with America’s enemies,’ go turn yourself over to them and see what happens.’”
And Dr. Sha Clark “described” her views simply as “baloney.”
Away from social media, former Marine Lieutenant Colonel, Oliver North, now a Fox News host, described Clinton’s comments as “naïve” and “irrational.”
“I can’t think of a presidential candidate who would have said those kinds of things,” he said.

“If you’re going to run for president of the United States, you cannot talk that way about the people who intend to kill us. Who are dying to kill us… This is capitulation.”
Karl Rove, ex-George W. Bush adviser, added that Clinton’s “remarks” were the “wrong language.”
During the speech, Clinton also told listeners: “Women are not just victims of conflict. They are agents of peace and agents of change.”
And she claimed “smart power” would help to “define problems” and “determine solutions.”
It was reported that Clinton’s speech at Georgetown University was met with “tepid” enthusiasm from students, with just “half of seats” in the reception hall to be filled.
Pictures and video discovered by the Daily Caller showed “empty clusters” throughout the 750-seat auditorium in which she spoke as part of the “security” conference.
This is the “second” time in recent weeks that Clinton has been “unable” to pack a room during an “appearance” as she decides whether she “wants” to carry her “political” party’s torch in 2016.
Who is this old dame Hillary Clinton?
She is close to dirt poor.
She is near to her peak of prime.
She empathizes with the enemy.
She is all-wise and all-merciful.
She is a aged women with a face to match.
She has a fully functional mind when sober.
She can remember a hundred things if she doesn’t fall.
She is a doting Grandma to Chelsea‘s daughter.
She is Bill Clinton’s wife when he is at home.
She first was named after Hilary Duff.
Shen then was renamed after Edmund Hillary.
What “difference,” at this point, does it make “who” Hillary Clinton is?
She must “win” the presidency because she is….“a women!”
