LONDON - Female politicians are facing a backlash over women’s rights which has been fueled by social media that rewards abusive posts and conspiracy theories, former U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said on Sunday.

Her comments came after a number of female members of parliament in Britain announced they would not stand for re-election at a Dec. 12 general election, citing abuse on social media including rape and death threats. Clinton, who lost out on her bid to become the first female president of the United States at the 2016 election, has said misogyny “certainly” played a role in her defeat to Republican rival Donald Trump.

“She is a young women, so the idea that she is standing up and speaking out as effectively as she has just rattles all of the paradigms that people still live with,” she said.

That should be a wake up call. The public doesn’t like some of them. They keep pushing in for their 15 minutes of fame, but these posts should be taken seriously.

She means abuse of Hilary Clinton on social media is viral.

Boohoo, Killary. Get over yourself. Not every issue is gender related. We're going to call out on you just as much as we do on Trump. We don't give a flying fudge what's behind your panties. And I'm going to continue making fun of Cortez just as much as I make fun of Boris.

and it is all her fault

If she and Pelosi are worst of politicians currently, how that would help the status of women politicians? Live a good example first please.

Hillary is just as dirty and needs to stop talking. She’s more dangerous than Bill getting oval office BJ’s

I think all politicians are being abused, and it is sad that we can’t just talk about facts.

OK, Boomer. 🤪

EpsteinCoverup

And them terrorizing Trump isnt?

and it is ALL her fault!!

Is Hillary referring to female legislators who have naked pics with staffers in hotel rooms floating around?

Republicans Russianss had nothing to attack her on ....so they went after her Gender and her health !

Ask Tulsi...

What does that mean? I don’t speak fluent Hillary.

Antifa.

Contradicting and repudiating their lies is not abuse. BenghaziAintGoingAway

Abuse of the President of the United States by the MSM and social media is viral. So what’s your point.

Can she just eat her pudding and take a nap already? irrelevant

I didn’t know that bill clinton has a Twitter account

Nuts

She should know - she has abused Tulsi and many others!

Hillary gave us Trump. Nothing she says should matter anymore.

Please go away...

Isn't it just, revolting how Trump has lead the way.

So, the abuser facilitator is mad. So what? Lock that criminal up.

people flying over balconies after investigating or denouncing crimes of certain aristocrats as well

Women have equality now , if you don't like it maybe you should grow a set

Says a women who actively participates. Did anybody call her out on her participation?

Hilly...go brush huma's hair!!

she attacked Gennifer Flowers; calls her “trailer-trash.” she attacked Monica Lewinsky as a “narcissistic loony toon” she attacked one woman state trooper sought out for her husband to have a sexual encounter with. she attacked jill stien she attacked tulsi gabbard

НАСИЛИЕ В ВИРТЕ ? В ЭТОЙ СРЕДЕ ЕСТЬ МГНОВЕННАЯ ВОЗМОЖНОСТЬ ПРЕСЕЧЕНИЯ НЕГАТИВНОГО ВОЗДЕЙСТВИЯ . ПОЭТОМУ НЕ ТА ФОРМУЛИРОВКА ДОРОГАЯ

This bitch still talkin!?!

🤢

Long may it continue. It will hopefully chase off insane, old bats and charlatans like her and Anna_Soubry

EQUALITY! BOZO!

HillaryClinton no, not “abuse of female politicians,” but mocking ANY politicians who treat their constituents as stupid, regardless of the politician’s plumbing. You don’t get a pass by calling us sexist. Be better!

Then get off social media. Problem solved. You don't say anything intelligent anyway.

'Hillary Clinton says abuse of female politicians on social media is 'viral' Give us a break, the abuse by many female commentators against male politicians on ALL forums is justifiable. (President Trump) Remember saying 'if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!

When is her big announcement?

Hillary has no more bridges to burn.

Hillary, abuse of democracy and freedom by your political correctness is viral

ICYMI HillaryClinton

We all remember Monica !!

Some outshine the shit flung at them. NikkiHaley KellyannePolls just to name a few!

No. Just social media abuse of Hillary Clinton is viral. And a good thing. Keep it up everyone! 👍🏼

Nominate Nikki Haley for something and I guarantee she'll get elected. She's the polar opposite of Shillary.

The way her supporters treated Nina Turner in 2016 to this day is repulsive. Maybe she should reign in her disgusting supporters still hanging on

Nobody cares and its complaints like this that make women politicians look weak.

More HateSpeech from truly yours president wannabe and your organization that continues to promote hate

Calling someone out for being ridiculous is not abuse. It doesn't matter if a person is a man or a woman, if what they say is ridiculous, it can be pointed out, treating them both the same.

TulsiGabbard check this Reuters article out. The biggest bully in the schoolyard is talking about female politicians being bullied.

You mean like how Hillary attacks Jill Stein & Tulsi Gabbard? Like that?

NSAGov CIA Abuse of everyone is viral! She, and this writer have lives too soft to notice their elitist status only let’s them focus moot agendas to the point of abuse.Focus of one abuse in this apocalyptic times?...That’s how you tell true racists, and elitists they only see1

Blah blah blah

And she’s the leader

Lmao She smeared Gabbard as a 'Russian asset.' All the while, being the biggest Russian asset of anyone in America.

maybe its just her 🤷‍♂️

Epstein didn't kill himself is also viral...

Delusional Psycho.

...... Wait, a minute......

She's worse than cancer.

If you flick through the timeline of any politician male or female, there’s evidence of abuse of both. Abuse of any kind is wrong but to claim it’s specifically aimed at women is somewhat incongruous isn’t it?

So abuse of Male presidents is ok is it HillaryClinton - with attitudes like that no wonder realDonaldTrump wipes the floor with you and will do so again with your lot in 2020 kag

Than why is she supporting/backing it?

I think she’s wrong. Abuse of poor politicians on social media is viral.

Stop reading at 'Hillary Clinton says...'

You mean kind of like Hillary abused Tulsi Gabbard?

Oh no, she should consult with Dr Mantis Toboggan about this.

Like when she shamed DrJillStein ? Pot calls kettle black. GreenPartyUS

If you can't take the heat get out the kitchen. Apparently the home wasn't a prison as much as a needed cocoon

yes

I agree with her. It’s right there out in the open . All day everyday.

sexism blah blah blah...

So why attack another female politician as a “Russian Asset”

If girls can’t handle the pressure, then they shouldn’t be in politics

Nonsense!

This makes me think she doesn’t know what this means.

ok boomer
