Hillary’s New Docuseries: Defeat, Denial, and Tone-Deafness – By Hannah Rowan (American Spectator) / March 5 2020
Streaming on Hulu this Friday.
And now for a message from the ghost in the Democrat machine. Hillary Clinton would like to remind you about that time she ran for president against a very bad orange man. Which, as a woman, was horrifying, and unfair, and wrong for her to have to do, and bad for the country, and she still can’t believe she lost. If you agree with her that our country is in just a deplorable state, you should watch Hillary, her documentary series premiering on Hulu starting this Friday, March 6.
The series, directed by Nanette Burstein, condenses 1700 hours of 2016 campaign footage and 35 new hours of interviews into just four, one hour for each year every politically conscious citizen has been reminded daily of the great tragedy that Trump was elected and Hillary was not.
Hillary, after all, has always stood up for women, long before the MeToo era made this a substitute for a campaign platform, as the documentary’s trailer wants you to know. As first lady, she said that thing about how “Human rights are women’s rights and women’s rights are human rights.” And though that was “polarizing” and she “provoke[s] strong opinions,” well, “You want to make a difference, you want to have an impact. Well then, you gotta get in the arena.”
That is the story that Hillary Clinton promises to tell about her long career in American politics: woman + politician = progressive heroine. At this point, one can only expect Benghazi to be a “challenge,” Whitewater to be “difficult,” and her emails to be, well, just “emails” (1:15).
But if it’s a tell-all you want, there was also that whole Monica Lewinsky thing, which was horrible, and also relevant in the time of MeToo, and she has very relatable, heart-on-your-sleeve things to say about that. Women will be empowered. People uninterested in Bill ’n’ Hillary revisionist romance (Yale student Bill Clinton: “I really want to marry you, but you shouldn’t marry me”) will be repulsed.
