Failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton called supporters of former President Donald Trump “cult members” who require “formal deprogramming” while explaining in a CNN interview why Democrats needed to defeat the Republican front-runner and his allies.
“We had very strong partisans in both parties in the past, and we had very bitter battles over all kinds of things — gun control and climate change and the economy and taxes — but there wasn’t this little tail of extremism, waving, you know, wagging the dog of the Republican Party as it is today,” Clinton told host Christiane Amanpour.
