Twice-defeated presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that civility towards Republicans has to wait until after the November midterm elections.
"You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about," Clinton said in an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour. "That's why I believe, if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the Senate, that's when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength."
Clinton has criticized calls for civility in the past. In June, The Guardian asked her about civility in political discourse in the midst of controversy over children being separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border.
"Oh, give me a break. Give me a break!" Clinton said. "What is more uncivil and cruel than taking children away? It should be met with resolve and strength. And if some of that comes across as a little uncivil, well, children’s lives are at stake; their futures are at stake. That is that ridiculous concept of bothsideism."
Clinton is not the first Democrat to challenge civility.

Talk of civility, from a Clinton??? Oh my sides, the laughter, it hurts!
That goes both ways you old hag.
Look who is talking civility. Democrats is pushing hatred and violence. Clinton and the Democrats are pushing Socialism and anarchy not civility. That tells me the comprehension and meaning of the Socialist Democrats.
If the parents don't want to be separated from their children when they cross the border, then they shouldn't cross the border. Problem solved.
As far as civility, how do you like it when your own tactics are used against you Shrill?
So, Hillary admits that her Democratic Party is holding civility hostage, and that the lack of it all along is all their doing.
The undercurrent here is that she's actually promoting incivility as a tool for getting her way, hoping that her diminishing number of followers will take her cue and become rude fools. This points to her ilk having little or nothing left in their arsenal, a general weakening of the party, and an air of desperation.
WRONG!!! so in order for YOU to be civil; it's your way or the highway...forget it Hil as you're toast.
Dave T: Bravo! Spoken like the true loser that she is! What a disgrace to think people actually believed in this miserable old hag to run our country.
"What is more uncivil and cruel than taking children away?"
Killing them before they are born, perhaps?
Admitting to being @$$holes because they lost and until they win again!
Great philosophy!
Publish this so the voters know what they're electing.
It starts once she goes to Jail!
So, they will only be civil if they get their way. Well, bring on the BS.
Civility will start when Hillary, Schumer, Pelosi, et al are in FEMA camps.
so this is the dems mantra? we're gonna throw a hissy fit until you put us in power? bring it! any responsible adult knows you don't give into children when they throw a temper tantrum!
It's NOT going to get any better.
Entropy in action and it is irresistible.
