Hillary Clinton spoke at the late Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee’s memorial service, and some are saying her remarks were more at home in a campaign rally.
The former secretary of state couldn’t help but use her moment in the spotlight to prop up Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign, drawing derision from commenters who found her screed inappropriate.
Watch:

Sheila Jackson Lee memorial service: “But come next January when our first woman president takes the oath of office, I’ll be thinking of Sheila, wondering what up in heaven she’s wearing, what magnificent long scarf she has wrapped around herself.” pic.twitter.com/2sp93ozC1T

“We lost her too soon, we could use her voice now. But come next January when our first woman president takes the oath of office, I’ll be thinking of Sheila, wondering what up in heaven she’s wearing. What magnificent long scarf she has wrapped around herself,” Clinton declared. “What hair-do she has managed to achieve for this special occasion. I’ll be thinking of her, and Shirley Chisholm and Barbara Jordan, and all the generations of women who helped to make that day possible, because they never stopped believing. You know, Sojourner Truth said ‘If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back and get it right-side-up again.'”
Commenters voiced their displeasure with Clinton’s shameless behavior:
Hilary talking heaven? How weird is it.

Nothing like turning a funeral into a political cap

Hillary is looking rough. All those years of money laundering and sui*iding people has taken a toll

R.I.P. Sheila. Attendees of celebration of life, do not campaign at services. It’s an opportunity to show support, offer condolences, and pay tribute, not campaign.

Assuming she’s in heaven. She’s probably still at the gates answering for how horribly she treated her staff and people who were around her while fortunate to not be employed by her. Weird how leftists talk about heaven while hating Christ and His teachings.

Guess who wasn’t our first female president?
