OH SHUT UP! – AT 11:46 A.M. ET: Hillary Clinton is performing a kind of public service – she's constantly demonstrating why we were wise not to put her in the Oval Office. From the New York Post:
Hillary Clinton used a conference in Beijing to blast both President Trump and the Chinese over their stance toward North Korea — saying it needs to soften up soon before things get out of hand and nuclear war breaks out.
Serving as the keynote speaker at Caijing Magazine’s three-day annual conference on Tuesday, the former secretary of state called on Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping to avoid “bluster” and “personal taunts” when dealing with Pyongyang, according to Bloomberg.
She reportedly criticized the Trump administration for retreating from diplomacy in recent months and said she hoped that China wouldn’t follow suit.
While Clinton focused much of her sentiment on the US stance toward North Korea, she took most of her jabs at the Chinese — claiming they, too, were taking the wrong approach to the situation and making things worse with their “secret” military buildups.
“Beijing should remember that inaction is a choice as well,” Clinton said.
Like the Trump administration, the Chinese have chosen to avoid diplomatic talks with the North Koreans as tensions continue to escalate in the region.
COMMENT: Disgraceful! Trying to undercut the president of the United States while abroad. That's a clear line that she crossed.
She might have noted that we've been negotiating with the Norks for 23 years, without any actual result. They've simply gotten stronger, they have the atom bomb, and they are working on missiles to carry it. Three cheers for diplomacy.
I suspect Hillary is simply trying to grovel to the left wing of her party, praying she can make another run in 2020.
But if the lefties want an elder, they'll choose Bernie Sanders, which is the scariest thing I've written in a long time.
