Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton faced sharp criticism over a widely ridiculed post on X in which she described the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles as “peaceful demonstrations” and blamed President Donald Trump for creating “chaos” in Southern California.
Critics labeled the post as “delusional” and accused Clinton of downplaying the violence, but also went after her for disabling comments to her post.
“Comments off lol. She can’t handle the ratio. This is what Hillary Clinton calls ‘peaceful demonstrations,’” popular conservative X account Libs of TikTok posted, noting that remarks were limited to only accounts Clinton follows.
The message came in response to Clinton’s first and, as of Tuesday morning, only comment on the Los Angeles riots. In her post, she referred to the unrest as “peaceful demonstrations” and criticized President Trump for deploying the National Guard over the weekend.
“California Governor Newsom didn’t request the National Guard be deployed to his state following peaceful demonstrations. Trump sent them anyway,”
