Hillary Clinton Just Won An Emmy Award – So Of Course Conservatives Are Pitching A Fit

Already one of the most accomplished women in the world, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton just added a major accomplishment to hear already impressive resume: An Emmy award.

Mrs. Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea, were given an Emmy for Outstanding Politics and Government Documentary, according to HuffPost.

The two executive-produced the Netflix documentary “In Her Hands” with several others, making them “statue-eligible,” an official told The Hollywood Reporter.

The film follows Zarifa Ghafari, who at age 26 became the youngest female mayor in the history of Afghanistan. She served in the turbulent times before the Taliban recaptured the country.

“As Western forces withdraw, Afghanistan’s youngest female mayor braves mortal danger to lead a fight for education for the next generation of Afghans,” the Netflix summary reads.

Chelsea Clinton had this to say about the honor:

“So proud to be part of the ‘In Her Hands’ team, and to tell the remarkable story of Zarifa Ghafari, the youngest female mayor in the history of Afghanistan.”

Mrs. Clinton also took to Twitter to say how pleased she was by the Emmy.

We just won an Emmy! I’m thrilled that “In Her Hands,” HiddenLightPrd’s documentary telling the story of Zarifa Ghafari, Afghanistan’s youngest female mayor, has been recognized in the news and documentary category.

The former first lady already had a Grammy to her credit, and now she adds an Emmy. Could a Tony and Oscar also be in her future?

Again, it’s a wonderful honor for the Clintons, but it drew the predictable anger and bitterness from conservatives and right-wing nutjobs on social media.

Right-Wing Group Led By Stephen Miller Files Complaint Against Pop-Tarts For Trying To ‘Sexualize’ Kids

If you thought that you’d heard all of the bizarre and outlandish bullshit that right-wing extremists have to offer when it comes to their efforts on the culture war, consider what a group led by former Trump administration official Stephen Miller is trying to do.

On Thursday, America First Legal filed a federal civil rights complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, urging the EEOC to investigate Kellogg Co.’s (the parent company of such well-known food brands as Pop-Tarts and Cheez-Its) policies and programs that it described as “infused with woke ideology,” according to HuffPost.

Yep, your entire pantry is infested with “woke” products. Or so Miller and his fascist minions would have you believe.

The complaint itself reads like a checklist for conservative talking/whining points.

In a letter to the EEOC on Wednesday, America First Legal senior counselor Reed D. Rubinstein claimed that Kellogg’s “engages in unlawful employment practices by seeking to ‘balance’ its workforce based on race, color, national origin, and sex.”

The letter went on to note a number of diversity initiatives at the company, including one that strives to have 25% of “underrepresented talent” at the management level by the end of 2025.

The letter also stated concerns with a fellowship program for Black chefs at Kellogg’s and what the company has described as an “aspirational [goal] of gender 50/50 parity at the management level” by the end of 2025.

America First Legal also penned a letter to Kellogg’s CEO Steve Cahillane, accusing the company of having “hijacked the brand to advance an extreme political and social agenda.”

Striving for diversity and equality are now extreme? If so, count me as a proud member of the woke extremist contingency. And it’s safe to bet the majority of Americans feel the same way and aren’t about to toss out their breakfast foods just because Miller and his ilk have closed minds and corncobs up their asses.

The Conservative Conspiracy Theories For Why The Titan Sub Failed Are BEYOND Ridiculous

Even though it remains unclear exactly what caused the “catastrophic implosion” of the Titan submersible that led to the deaths of five people, conservatives, right-wingers, and other extremist nutjobs have already come up with a reason: Wokeness.

No, it wasn’t being 13,000 feet under the ocean that caused the Titan to sink and never resurface. It was being “woke.”

HuffPost notes:

But conservatives had another theory. Could the sub have disappeared because OceanGate’s CEO went “woke”?

Wokeness has become a new boogeyman for the right, and no one is safe — even in a case like this, with five people believed to have lost their lives in the deep sea.

Fox host Jesse Watters had this to say about wokeness and the Titan sub and OceanGate Expeditions CEO Stockton Rush, who led the mission:

“There’s been lawsuits, there’s been accusations about slashing regulations. He’s (Rush) quoted as saying he didn’t hire a bunch of 50-year-old white guys with military experience because he didn’t want his vessels to be not inspirational for a younger generation.”

“I don’t care who is in these vessels, I just want them to be experienced and safe. And if you’re gonna be woke, you might have to —”

What Jesse? Go broke? Isn’t that the saying? Or in this case were you suggesting that to go woke is to die?

Right-wing agitator and social media shitposter Charlie Kirk concurred with Watters, “If it is true, this person tragically passes away, the CEO of OceanGate and he says that he was choosing and selecting his personnel based on not wanting to have 50-year-old white guys, then you could make the argument, albeit rather cruel and blunt, he killed himself and his customers with wokeness.” 

As if that’s not bad enough, there’s also the “blame Biden” contingency of the far right that’s suggesting President Joe Biden tried to hide that the Titan sub had failed sooner than announced because he was trying to distract the public from the recently guilty plea entered by his son, Hunter, for failing to pay taxes and illegal possession of a handgun, Newsweek notes.

Wokegate or Bidengate? Does it really matter? The right-wing echo chamber will have a new “theory” pretty soon and it’ll be even more delusional than the ones they’re already pushing.

Fox News Bans Matt And Mercedes Schlapp From Its Airwaves As Groping Allegation Causes More Fallout

Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union and his wife, Mercedes, are apparently now banned from the airwaves at Fox News, the latest major fallout from allegations that Matt groped and sexually assaulted a staffer who worked for the failed Senate campaign of 2022 Republican nominee Herschel Walker.

According to Mediaite, neither Matt or Mercedes have appeared on Fox since the allegations first surfaced earlier this month.

Since the … story broke, Matt and Mercedes, who were regulars on Fox News and Fox Business, have disappeared from the air. Mercedes, who served in former President Donald Trump’s White House and on his unsuccessful 2020 campaign, was last on the air the morning of Jan. 6, while Matt hasn’t appeared on either network since Jan. 4.

Fox has yet to cover the groping allegation. The network did not respond to a request for comment on the absence of the Schlapps from the air.

The Daily Beast was first to report on what allegedly transpired between Matt Schlapp and the Walker staffer.

A staffer for Herschel Walker’s Senate campaign has alleged to The Daily Beast that longtime Republican activist Matt Schlapp made “sustained and unwanted and unsolicited” sexual contact with him while the staffer was driving Schlapp back from an Atlanta bar this October.

The staffer said the incident occurred the night of Oct. 19, when Schlapp, chair of the American Conservative Union and lead organizer for the influential Conservative Political Action Conference, “groped” and “fondled” his crotch in his car against his will after buying him drinks at two different bars.

The staffer described Schlapp, who had traveled to Georgia for a Walker campaign event, as inappropriately and repeatedly intruding into his personal space at the bars. He said he was also keenly aware of his “power dynamic” with Schlapp, widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in national conservative politics.

Schlapp as repeatedly denied he did anything improper and CPAC will continue to be held in March, though it remains unclear if he will be in attendance.

Hysterical Right-Wingers Say Photos Of The First Couple Prove Jill Biden Is Actually President

In their latest attempt to undermine President Joe Biden, right-wingers are claiming that a series of four photos showing the president and First Lady Jill Biden talking to each other are proof that she’s actually the one running the country.

Yep, you read that correctly: Four photos are all the conservative dunces need for their latest conspiracy theory.

The photos were shared online by Jake Schneider, who just so happens to be a member of what’s known as the GOP Rapid Response team. Translation: The Republican hit squad who take everything out of context and never miss an opportunity to take a cheap shot at anyone they disagree with.

Here’s Schneider’s tweet:

The Bidens have been married for 45 years, and for readers who are or have been married, it’s safe to assume that you never agreed with your spouse 100% of the time and that you had more than your share of spats. If you say you didn’t, then you’re either being dishonest or your marriage was so vapid and loveless that you can’t tell the difference between fictional marital bliss and what a real marriage looks like.

As you’d expect, other right-wing dupes on social media were only too happy to join the debate and suggest that we’re living in sad times based on four photos taken completely out of context.

If only we still had the loving and dedicated Trumps in the White House, huh? Look how much they cared for each other:
