Hillary Clinton: Most Republicans are "cowards" on Trump

Hillary Clinton tells Kara Swisher for her New York Times Opinion podcast, "Sway," that most Republicans "have been cowards, spineless enablers" of President Trump.

"Most Republicans are going to want to close the page," Clinton says. "They want to see him gone as much as we do, but they can't say it publicly."

Clinton also said she thinks a female president would have handled the pandemic better.

Swisher: "You noted that a lot of countries that did best in the pandemic were led by women. … Do you think a woman president in the United States would handle the pandemic better?"

Clinton: "I have no doubt, especially if it were me. I have no doubt. I mean, I was born for that."

Swisher asked, "Would you say 'lock him up?'"

Clinton: "No, I would never say that. … I believe in the rule of law, unlike some of these people."

Clinton said she "can't entertain the idea of him winning. … It would cause cognitive dissonance of a grave degree."

"[I]t makes me literally sick to my stomach to think that we'd have four more years of this abuse and destruction of our institutions. And damaging of our norms and our values. And lessening of our leadership. And the list goes on.

Clinton added, "I think I live rent-free in his head."

Systemic racism ‘runs very deep’ in Canada, Freeland says

In the wake of the violence towards Indigenous fishers in Nova Scotia, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said on Tuesday that systemic racism runs deep in the country.

Speaking at a media conference, Freeland was asked by a reporter about the clashes over Indigenous fishing rights.

“We were appalled by the violence that we saw and we know as a country we need to do better and need to find a resolution,” Freeland said. “But systemic racism, in this case, specifically toward Indigenous people in Canada, runs very deep in our history.”

Freeland said she has reflected in on her own upbringing and beliefs and hopes other Canadians are doing the same as the country continues the long road to reconciliation.

Tensions between local commercial fishers and Mi’kmaq fishers in the province have escalated in recent weeks, resulting in several suspected cases of arson and multiple arrests.

Non-Indigenous lobster fishers have destroyed traps and catch, and violent mobs have threatened Mi’kmaq lobster fishers.

During an emergency debate Monday in the House of Commons about the conflict, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said the dispute over Indigenous fishing rights is an example of systemic racism.

“I think it’s really important for all of us in Canada to acknowledge that there is systemic racism in Canada … towards Indigenous people,” Freeland said. “It is helpful for us to acknowledge that with all the pain and difficulty that it brings.”
