Hillary Clinton has launched a scathing attack on her own party, accusing Democrats of failing to mount a robust response to Donald Trump's hardline measures in Washington DC. The former Secretary of State and 2016 presidential candidate didn't mince words as she called out what she sees as a lacklustre opposition strategy.
Clinton's Fiery Critique
In her most outspoken intervention since leaving office, Clinton argued that Democrats are making a grave mistake by not challenging Trump's authoritarian tendencies more forcefully. "When democratic norms are under attack, silence is complicity," she declared during a recent public appearance.
The DC Controversy
The remarks come amid growing controversy over Trump's administration deploying federal agents to the capital in what critics describe as an unconstitutional overreach. Civil liberties groups have raised alarms about the militarisation of law enforcement in response to protests.
Democratic Infighting
Clinton's comments have exposed simmering tensions within the Democratic Party about how to counter Trump's unconventional presidency. While some progressives applaud her tough stance, more moderate voices worry about escalating political warfare ahead of crucial elections.
The former First Lady's intervention is being seen as both a rallying cry for the Democratic base and a potential warning about the consequences of political complacency in turbulent times.
