Observers were delighted as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was “put in her place” during a panel in Germany as she railed about President Donald Trump’s policies.
Among the highlights of the Munich Security Conference over the weekend, which included a rousing speech from Secretary of State Marco Rubio and embarrassing moments from New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Deputy Prime Minister Petr Macinka of the Czech Republic made his own waves.
Participating in the panel titled, “Night Cap on the West-West Divide: What Remains of Common Values,” with Clinton, Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs Radoslaw Sikorski, and two other political scientists, the Czech leader bluntly dismissed the twice-failed presidential wannabe, making her “nervous.”
“Well, first, I think you really don’t like [Trump],” Macinka said when asked by moderator Bronwen Maddox, CEO of Chatham House, if he agreed with the secretary’s assertion that Trump’s actions on Ukraine “have produced a rift in the west.”

“You know, that is absolutely true,” she replied. “But I really — not only do I not like him, but I don’t like him because of what he’s doing to the United States and the world, and I think you should take a hard look at it if you think that there is something good that will come of it.”
“Well, what I think Trump is doing in America, I think that it is a reaction. Reaction … for some policies that really went too far, too far from the regular people,” the Czech official said before responding to a request for examples, “We saw the cancel culture. We saw the woke revolution. I don’t agree with the gender revolution; the climate alarmism.”
When Clinton interjected to snark at gender being raised, suggesting Macinka meant something about women’s rights, the moderator cut her off, and he elaborated, “I think there are two genders … and the rest, probably, is a social construct. So this is something that went too far.”
The secretary interrupted once more to level accusations that the Trump administration was “selling out the people of Ukraine,” minimizing concerns about gender ideology as the deputy prime minister calmly replied, “Can I please finish my point?”
“I’m sorry that it makes you nervous. I’m really sorry for that … I have to say one more thing. You said that Ukraine fights for our future and for our freedom. I think first, Ukraine fights for Ukraine’s future, Ukraine’s freedom, Ukraine’s sovereignty and independence,” said the Czech politician before acknowledging that assistance was warranted while also contending that some nations were trying to “misuse” help for Ukraine.
In addition to numerous reactions wondering what Clinton was even doing participating in the Munich Security Conference, especially given that Trump had ordered her security clearances revoked nearly a year earlier, social media users were pleased to see her “get dunked on.”
Watching Hillary get dunked on will be forever funny 😆

I’m thankful she was called out. People around the world see who and what she is and are tired of it. She interrupts constantly which is so rude,unless you think like her which is evil then she gets mad and try’s to bully you. This man was right to say what he did. Hillary is a…

I can’t understand why she was there in the first place. She certainly doesn’t represent the US.

He completely exposed her intolerance when she refused to let him finish his points. Credit to him for highlighting her behavior — especially from an outside-the-U.S. perspective.

She is so used to people treating her like she is someone special. She no longer is and it was delightful watching him put her in her place. She could not believe it which made it that much funnier.
