Klavan: Democrats, Take Hillary Clinton’s Advice

Hillary Clinton recently urged her fellow Democrats not to be so “civil” with Republicans. Andrew Klavan shredded the premise of her argument in the latest episode of “The Andrew Klavan Show,” while simultaneously hoping the Left takes her advice.

“The Left feels the problem with their side is they’re not making enough noise, they’re not screaming at people,” said Klavan. “That’s what they feel is the problem with the Left, they’re just too in control, they’re just not shrill enough, they’re not crazy enough, they’re not violent and nasty enough — that is the problem with the Left.

“How have we missed it up till now?” he continued. “It’s unbelievable! If they would just be a little bit louder, a little bit meaner, you know really get down in the gutter, the problem is they’re not accusing people of sexual molestation enough, you know they’re just being too nice to everybody, that is the problem, that is why the Left keeps losing. Really?”

Klavan also jabbed at the Clintons, particularly for their hypocrisy in dealing with the other side of the aisle.

“Take it from Hillary Clinton, Hillary and Bill Clinton are going on a speaking tour – because that’s what the country needs today — what the country needs today is Bill and Hillary Clinton,” he said. “Lock up your daughters, because if you want to see what sexual attacks look like, they’re coming back! Here is Hillary talking about how we can make amends and bring this country together by treating the right with more civility.”

He then played a clip of Clinton saying, “You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. That’s why I believe, if we are fortunate enough to win back the house and/or the Senate, that’s when civility can start again.”

“‘Until we win we can’t be civil’ — until we win we have to keep on with the screaming,” he said. “The light bulb never goes on, that maybe this is why they’re not winning, maybe this is why the country works better when they’re out of power, maybe this is why they should start to, you know, respect the democratic process.”

Hillary Clinton: You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. That’s why I believe, if we are fortunate enough to win back the house and/or the Senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength, and you heard how the Republican members led by Mitch McConnell, the President, really demeaned the confirmation process.”
