Politicians' response to the Wuhan coronavirus is a bit of a headscratcher. China lied about the virus, did everything in their power to keep the rest of the world from finding out, all in a move to protect their public image (as if it was stellar to begin with). Instead of listening to Taiwan's warningsabout this virus and the impact it could have on the globe, the World Health Organization turned a blind eye. Back in January the WHO even went so far as to say the coronavirus was nottransmitted from human-to-human. We quickly found out that was a lie and that the WHO was covering for the Chinese Communist Party. In fact, the WHO disagreed with President Donald Trump when he halted flights to and from China as a means of preventing the spread of the virus.

When the president announced earlier this week that he was suspending the United States' funding for the organization, Democrats became irate. Apparently they think the WHO is doing great work. It's like they missed the memo and the blatant disregard that took place at the beginning of this pandemic (back when it was just an epidemic).

Not only did Bill and Melinda Gates oppose the suspension, but so did former Secretary of State and twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Apparently the WHO is really doing the people's work, at least in Hillary's mind.

But people were quick to point out the WHO's failure and Clinton's partisan blinders that created this "hot take."

What this pandemic has shown is that Democrats are stillwilling to put their partisanship at the forefront of all of their major decisions if it means opposing Trump. They've put the American people at greater risk all because they want to get back at the president. Just look at what happened when there was the bipartisan, bicameral stimulus agreement. Nancy Pelosi came in at the last minute and blew the whole thing up for a leftist wish list.

Eye Roll: Hillary Swoops In to Save the WHO - Townhall

Described as the first major U.S. female political figure since Eleanor Roosevelt, Hillary Rodham Clinton (born 1947) was considered a force to be reckoned with in American politics. Married to Bill Clinton, the 42nd president of the United States, she figured prominently in the Clinton administration with substantial influence on domestic policy-making.

A First Lady with an independent professional identity, Hillary Rodham Clinton had experience as a corporate lawyer, a tenacious fighter for educational reform, a nationally recognized expert on children's legal rights, and a director of both corporate and nonprofit boards. Hillary Diane Rodham was born on October 26, 1947, in Chicago, Illinois. She grew up with two younger male siblings in Park Ridge, a conservative, upper-class suburb north of the city. Her parents, Hugh and Dorothy Howell Rodham, reared their three children with traditional mid-American values that stressed family, church, school,and social obligations that evolved from the adage that "to whom much is given, much is expected."

As a youth Rodham was influenced by her religious training in Methodism, with its emphasis on personal salvation and active applied Christianity. A seminal influence in her teen years was a youth minister, the Reverend Don Jones, who introduced Rodham and her peers to some of the issues, causes, and movements of the time and who encouraged involvement in direct social action. It was under Jones's guidance that she read religious philosophers such as Soren Kierkegaard and Dietrich Bonhoeffer; babysat the children of migrant farm workers; and met the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., when he came to Chicago on a speaking tour.

Rodham attended the public schools of Park Ridge and in 1965 enrolled in Wellesley College, where she majored in political science and took a minor in psychology. Her undergraduate years were important to her developing world view and growing sense of personal empowerment. An exceptional communicator, she was a catalyst for many of the movements for change occurring on the Wellesley campus and was involved also in a number of off-campus activities. She spent her final undergraduate summer in Washington, D.C., working for the House Republican Conference and returned to campus to spend her senior year as president of the student government. Graduating with highest distinction in 1969, Rodham gave the first student address delivered during commencement in the history of the college. In the fall she enrolled in Yale University Law School, where she was among 30 women in the class of 1972.

Rodham's experiences at Yale helped to focus her areas of interest and commitment toward issues related to children, particularly poor and disadvantaged ones. She became acquainted with Marian Wright Edelman, a civil rights attorney who headed up the Washington Research Project, a non-profit group based in Washington, D.C., later to be known as the Children's Defense Fund. Spending a summer internship in Washington, D.C., Rodham was assigned by Edelman to Walter Mondale's Senate subcommittee, which was studying the plight of migrant families. In subsequent years at Yale she volunteered to work in the Yale Child Studies Center and the Yale-New Haven Hospital, assisted the New Haven Legal Assistance Association, and engaged in several other projects aimed at improving understanding of, and effecting improvements in, the legal system where children were concerned. An extra year of study at Yale prior to her graduation in 1973 further refined her expertise in child law issues.

After graduation Rodham moved to Washington and took a full-time position with the Children's Defense Fund. As staff attorney, she worked on juvenile justice problems, traveling the country comparing census data with school populations and becoming involved in litigations related to juvenile issues. In January 1974 she was chosen as one of 43 lawyers handpicked to work on the legal staff of the House Judiciary Committee, which was charged with preparing impeachment proceedings against President Richard Nixon resulting from the Watergate scandal. When Nixon resigned on August 9, 1974, and the legal staff disbanded, she accepted a teaching position at the University of Arkansas Law School. It was in Arkansas in 1975 that she married Bill Clinton, whom she had met while attending Yale.

Two years after their marriage Bill Clinton became attorney general of Arkansas, and the couple moved to Little Rock. In 1977 Hillary Clinton joined the prestigious Rose Law Firm, said to be one of the oldest law firms west of the Mississippi River, and became involved in an area of law known as "intellectual property." Her primary focus, however, remained in the area of children's rights, and she helped found Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families. She continued to write on the rights of children, revising an earlier article published in the Harvard Educational Review. The revised essay, "Children's Rights: A Legal Perspective," appearing in Children Rights: Contemporary Perspectives, developed and refined her arguments for the implementation of children's legal rights. She also was appointed by President Jimmy Carter to the board of the Legal Services Corporation in Washington (1978 to 1981), a federally-funded program that provided legal assistance to the poor. In January 1978, following her husband's successful bid for the governorship, Clinton became Arkansas' first lady. Later that year she also became the first woman ever to become a partner in the Rose Law Firm. InFebruary 1980 she gave birth to a daughter, Chelsea Victoria.

In her 11 years as first lady of Arkansas, Clinton continued to pursue activities aimed at public service and policy reforms in the state. In her husband's second term she served as chair of the Arkansas Education Standards Committee, established to study the state's educational system and to recommend changes in the standards for public schools. Released to the public in September 1983, the standards report was controversial in several aspects, although it would eventually become state law. In 1985 Hillary Clinton also gave leadership to the establishment in Arkansas of the Home Instruction Program for Pre-School Youngsters (HIPPY). The program, which brought instruction and tutorials into impoverished homes to teach four-and five-year-olds, became one of the largest programs in the country, with over 2,400 mothers participating.

In 1987 she was elected chairperson of the board of the Children's Defense Fund and of the New World Foundation, a philanthropic organization headquartered in New York that had helped launch the Children's Defense Fund. In that year, too, Hillary and Bill Clinton were awarded the National Humanitarian Award by the National Conference of Christians and Jews. Enjoying a national prominence, Hillary Clinton held directorships on the boards of directors of several corporations, including Wal-Mart, TCBY Enterprises (yogurt), and Lafarge (cement). She would also be cited by the National Law Journal in 1988, and again in 1991, as one of the "One Hundred Most Influential Lawyers in America."

Analyses of Clinton were varied; however, they generally pointed to her "spiritual center" and her "continuous textured development." People magazine, as one example, noted that "her social concern and her political thought rest on a spiritual foundation" (January 25, 1993). The "politics of virtue" according to the The New York Times Magazine, informed the actions of the newest First Lady (May 23, 1993).

As the wife of the president of the United States Clinton remained an advocate for many of the programs and issues to which she earlier devoted her time and professional expertise. Her stated goal of "making a difference" in the world led her to press for reforms in many aspects of the American system, including health care and child welfare. Hers is said to be "the most purely voiced expression of the collective spirit of the Clinton administration, a spirit that is notable for the long reach of its reformist ambitions ." (The New York Times, May 23, 1993). She provided leadership in a number of areas, with the most notable appointment in the first year of the Clinton administration being head of the Task Force on National Health Care, with responsibility for preparing legislation, lobbying proposals before Congress, and marshaling strategy for passage of a comprehensive reform package.

Her White House agenda beyond health care reform included promoting diversity in personnel appointmentsan effort she began with her role in the transition groupand pushing for children's issues. With an office in the White House's west wing, close to the center of power, Clinton was expected to remold the role of First Lady for the 21st century.

Clinton has remained an active and vital figure in the White House throughout her husband's presidency. In August of 1995, Hillary Clinton was invited to deliver the keynote address at the United Nations International Conference on Women near Beijing, China. Early in 1996 Clinton and her daughter Chelsea made a goodwill trip to South Asia, addressing women's issues in Pakistan and India.

In November 1996 Bill Clinton was re-elected president of the United States. In that same year Hillary Clinton published her first book entitled It Takes a Village: And Other Lessons Children Teach Us.

Several biographies provide coverage of Hillary Rodham Clinton's personal and professional life as well as her philosophical development and early tenure in the White House. These include the following: Norman King, Hillary: Her True Story (1993); Donnie Radcliffe, Hillary Rodham Clinton: A First Lady for Our Time (1993); and Judith Warner, Hillary Clinton: The Inside Story (1993). Short biographical articles and political analyses are found in a variety of magazines and newspapers. Recommended among these are Patricia O'Brien, "The First Lady with a Career?" Working Woman (August 1992); Margaret Carlson, "All Eyes on Hillary," TIME (September 14, 1992); Michael Kelly, "Saint Hillary," The New York Times Magazine (May 23, 1993); and "The Clintons: Taking Their Measure," U.S. News and World Report (January 31, 1994).

Hillary Clinton Facts - YourDictionary

Failed 2016 president candidate Hillary Clinton has been gleefully using the coronavirus to bash President Donald Trump ever since it began. Today, Clinton tried to undermine the president once again by urging the American people not to listen to Trump about coronavirus.

Please do not take medical advice from a man who looked directly at a solar eclipse, Clinton tweeted on Tuesday afternoon.

Clinton was referring to an incident back in August 2017, when Trump briefly took off his protective glasses during an eclipse and looked up at the sky, according to The Hill.

Clinton used this moment to inject a bit of humor into a tweet that had the clear message that the American people should not listen to the president right now even though we are in the midst of a massive crisis.

Unfortunately, this has come as no surprise from Clinton given how outspoken she has been in criticizing Trumps response to the coronavirus. Just last week, she was praised by a Chinese ambassador for claiming that Trump is racist forcalling the coronavirus the Chinese virus.

The president is turning to racist rhetoric to distract from his failures to take the coronavirus seriously early on, make tests widely available, and adequately prepare the country for a period of crisis, Clinton tweeted on Wednesday. Dont fall for it. Dont let your friends and family fall for it.

It is true. Justice always speak loudly, the Chinese ambassador to South Africa wrote in response to the tweet.

Calling Trump racist is one thing, but encouraging Americans not to listen to him about the worst crisis our nation has faced in years crosses the line. In undermining the president during this difficult time, Clinton is causing more chaos and putting more American lives at risk.

Once again, Clinton is showing that she would rather see our country fail than see Trump succeed.

Hillary Clinton urges Americans not to listen to President ...

Hillary Clinton sounded off on a variety of hot-button issues during her appearance alongside her daughter, Chelsea, on Wednesday's episode of "The View."

The mother-daughter duo, who werepromoting their new book, "The Book of Gutsy: Favorite Stories of Courage and Resilience," discussed everything from the Trumpimpeachment inquiry, the president's "mental state," why Clinton thinks she lost the 2016 election and WikiLeaks, the discussion of which produced a bonding moment between her and Meghan McCain.

"I got into it with Pamela Anderson, I don't know if you saw, about Julian Assange," McCain told Clinton, alluding to her argument with the former "Baywatch" actress from early September over Assange, a close friend of Anderson.

"Thank you!" she responded in surprise.

"Because I cannot understand anyone defending WikiLeaks or Julian Assange at this point," McCain added.

In the discussion that ensued, the group discussed Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's recent comments about Elizabeth Warren and Clinton called WikiLeaks "an instrument of Russian intelligence" during the 2016 election. She also called Facebook "careless."

Another moment during the Clintons' appearance on the ABC daytime hit came when they discussed Trump and his "mental state."

"I do think that he knows he's an illegitimate president and because of that he's very insecure about it," she declared. "He's obsessed with the fact that he was helped a lot in unprecedented ways [in the 2016 election]. [...] He accuses other people of doing what he does, and I didn't understand that projection originally. It was so odd. [...] That's a central part of his personality."

In another candid moment, the former Secretary of State for the Obama administration opened up further about her loss in the 2016 presidential election, admitting that she "probably came across as too serious" at the time."

"I really believed that my job, especially as a woman and the first woman to go as far as I did, that I had to help people feel good about a woman in the Oval Office," she admitted. "I may have overcorrected a little bit. [...] I did feel a heavy sense of responsibility."

Other notable moments from Hillary and Chelsea's appearance on "The View" came when they were discussing their new book, which involved Hillary explaining why deciding to stay with her husband, Bill Clinton, following his infamous cheating scandal was the gutsiest thing she's ever done.

Meghan McCain to Hillary Clinton on 'The View': 'I got ...

In a bid to kill Ronan Farrow's expos on the sexual misconduct allegations against him, Harvey Weinstein reached out to his good friend Hillary Clinton.

In Farrow's new book "Catch and Kill", the journalist reveals an email he received from Clinton's publicist, Nick Merrill, in 2017.

It came as he was working on his Weinstein expos and trying to land an interview with Clinton for a different book he was writing on foreign policy.

In the email, Farrow said Merrill told him that the "big story" he was working on was a "concern for us."

Weinstein, a major Democratic Party donor, gave Clinton more than $26,000 in contributions since her initial Senate run in 2000, according to the Federal Election Commission.

Five days after The New York Times investigation on the movie producer's sexual misconduct was published in October 2017, Clinton issued a statement decrying his behavior.

"I was shocked and appalled by the revelations about Harvey Weinstein," the statement read."The behavior described by women coming forward cannot be tolerated. Their courage and the support of others is critical in helping to stop this kind of behavior."

She later said on CNN that she would donate the campaign contributions she received from Weinstein to charity.

The stories launched the #MeToo movement, and Weinstein was fired from the production company he founded and shunned from Hollywood.

Speaking to Insider on Tuesday, Farrow said that the headlines surrounding the Clinton story in his book have been "politicized."

"The allegation here is not that Hillary Clinton was seeking to squash the Weinstein story, but the conversation did happen. I do think people can interpret the fact how they will, whether she was nervous about associating with someone who was reporting on a friend of her's who held a lot of power and held the strings to a lot of fundraising," Farrow said.

When asked whether he thought Clinton was aware of Weinstein's pattern of abuse, Farrow said "there is no reason to believe that Hillary Clinton was aware of the worst and most specific allegations."

"However," he continued, "Lena Dunham and Tina Brown and others have given on the record interviews saying that they specifically warned Clinton's staff about Harvey Weinstein's reputation for predation in at least general terms. And said that he would likely be a liability."

"Years later, as I was working on this story, they were still working together and were collaborating on a potential documentary idea right up until the month before my story came out," Farrow added.

Farrow's book, "Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators," was published Tuesday.
