Hillary Clinton is facing criticism, derision, and mockery after writing a ridiculously long column accusing Republicans of lacking empathy.
Written for The Atlantic, the column measures nearly 4,000 words and argues that the MAGA movement led by President Donald Trump is waging a deliberate “war on empathy.”
In defending this, Clinton cites the killings of left-wing extremists Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota. Good was killed when she seemed to try to run over a federal immigration agent, and Pretti was killed when he started tussling with immigration agents while armed with a gun.
I believe that Christians like me—and people of faith more generally—have a responsibility to stand up to the extremists who use religion to divide our society and undermine our democracy.

Clinton takes offense at them being labeled “domestic terrorists” by the right, despite their violent, unhinged actions.
“This crisis also reveals a deeper moral rot at the heart of Trump’s MAGA movement,” she writes. “Whatever you think about immigration policy, how can a person of conscience justify the lack of compassion and empathy for the victims in Minnesota, and for the families torn apart or hiding in fear, for the children separated from their parents or afraid to go to school?”
Notice how she categorizes Good and Pretti as victims. Note also how she ignores the fact that immigration agents have been forced to go neighborhood to neighborhood in Minnesota searching for illegal aliens precisely because local Democrat officials have refused to cooperate with them.
In an ideal world, when illegal aliens are arrested for rape and other such degenerate acts, local authorities would immediately hand said illegals over to the feds. But in Minnesota, instead, these same criminal illegals are released back onto the streets.
Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey have released over 480 rapists, murderers, and drug traffickers back onto the streets instead of turning them over to DHS.
Four Hundred and Eighty.
Absolutely criminal.

This necessitates immigration authorities going from neighborhood to neighborhood in search of these rapists, child molesters, and more.
Why didn’t Clinton note any of this in her column? Probably because it would have exposed her left-wing narrative as patently false.
Clinton goes on to smear several traditional conservative Christian influencers and commentators as extremists, including Allie Beth Stuckey, the author of “Toxic Empathy: How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion.”
“Toxic empathy! What an oxymoron,” Clinton writes. “I don’t know if the phrase reflects moral blindness or moral bankruptcy, but either way it’s appalling. This is certainly not what I was taught in Sunday school, not what my reading of the Bible teaches me, and not what I believe Jesus preached in his short time on Earth.”
In her book, Stuckey argues that the left has twisted and mutilated empathy, turning it into a tool of manipulation by which they bully the unsuspecting into believing they must hold the exact same “progressive” positions on every issue to be a good, empathetic person.
In other words, they must believe in treating criminals with kid gloves, letting illegal aliens violate the law with impunity, and allowing little children to mutilate their sex organs.
When Hillary Clinton is writing 6,000 word op-eds in the Atlantic attacking warnings against toxic empathy… you know you’re over the target. Keep. Going.

And finally, Clinton concludes her column by calling for her congregations of leftists to try to convert conservative Republicans into so-called “empathetic” people — i.e., fellow “progressives.”
“Democrats should actively reach out to people of faith and try to win their trust and their votes,” she writes. “This doesn’t mean Democrats should abandon our commitments to freedom, justice, and equality for all, or fight any less hard for what we believe in. We should listen with an open heart and an open mind, and be unafraid to talk about our values.”
As noted earlier, she — the same person who once called all right-wingers “deplorable” — is now facing serious mockery.
Look:
Imagine being stupid enough to take any advice about Christianity and empathy from a literal demon.

Do you remember Hillary’s
empathy for the women victimized by her husband’s lechery? No? Me neither.— RTYS (@RandofKeowee) January 30, 2026
I’m sick to death of EMPATHY.
The supposed need for it is a way for Leftists to make socialism acceptable.
It never will be.— Skin that smokewagon! (@heatpacker) January 30, 2026
Oh, yes, Hillary’s bottomless empathy. Remember when we destroyed Libya at Hillary’s command and she laughed about the brutal murder of Qaddafi? “We came, we saw, he died….hahahaha.”

Part of wokeness is putting empathy over rationality. This is why HRC can highlight ICE in Minnesota, and not the illegal alien stabbing the woman on the bus in Charlotte… or the illegal alien killing the rape victim in GA.
This is really targeted empathy, not real empathy.— DRob4JC (@DRob4JC) January 30, 2026
