From Fox News: Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is getting blasted on social media after posting a picture supporting American Federation of Teachers (AFT) chief Randi Weingarten’s new book that suggests her political opponents are “fascists.”
“Congratulations to my friend [Weingarten] on ‘Why Fascists Fear Teachers.’ From banning books to controlling curriculum, authoritarians go after public education because it’s a cornerstone of democracy,” Clinton posted on Wednesday, along with a picture of Weingarten holding the book.
“Randi’s new book is a critical read for this moment,” she wrote.
Clinton was criticized by conservatives for the post, which they argued continued the smear campaign against political opponents that many believe contributed to the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Clinton has turned the comments off underneath her original post, but conservatives are still flooding social media with scathing rebukes.
Human Events editor Jack Posobiec slammed the post, writing, “Charlie Kirk was murdered exactly one week ago. Here’s Hillary Clinton today:”

One X user wrote, “Then it must have been fascists who kept NYC schools closed long after progressive states like Texas and Florida reopened them, right?”
Mocking Clinton for turning off comments, Rhonda Rhoades wrote, “Lol. Locked down replies are the cornerstone of democracy.”
Republican communicator Matt Whitlock wrote, “It’s been one week since Charlie Kirk was murdered by a lunatic who wrote about “fascists” on shell casings. Now Randi Weingarten has a new book arguing everyone who disagrees with her views on public education – which have destroyed public education in America – is a fascist.”
