This was shocking.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is facing intense backlash after publicly praising a new book that labels conservatives as “fascists”—just one week after the shocking assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
Clinton posted a smiling photo of American Federation of Teachers (AFT) president Randi Weingarten holding her controversial new book, Why Fascists Fear Teachers, sparking outrage across the country.
“Proud of my friend [Randi Weingarten] for releasing her new book. When books are banned and curriculums are controlled, it’s clear that authoritarians are targeting public education—a vital pillar of our democracy. Randi’s book is an important read for these times,” Clinton posted on X, formerly Twitter.
The post has already been viewed more than 2 million times, drawing fire from conservatives who say Clinton’s inflammatory words and tone-deaf timing are dangerous in today’s volatile climate.
Outrage Erupts Across Conservative Circles
The backlash was swift and intense. Many conservative voices accused Clinton and Weingarten of fueling the kind of political hatred that led to Kirk’s death.
“It’s been just a week since Charlie Kirk was tragically killed by a madman who even etched the word ‘fascist’ onto his bullet casings,” said GOP strategist Matt Whitlock. “Now, Randi Weingarten is promoting a book that labels anyone opposing her extreme education policies as a fascist.”
Corey DeAngelis, senior fellow at the American Culture Project, didn’t hold back either:
“Hillary Clinton and Randi Weingarten are doubling down on this disgusting rhetoric right after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Sick people.”
Conservative commentator Jack Posobiec added:
“Charlie Kirk was killed just one week ago, and this is what Hillary Clinton is posting today.”
Even the Republican National Committee’s official account weighed in:
“Hillary Clinton and Randi Weingarten continue to brand Republicans as ‘fascists.’ It seems they just can’t stop themselves.”
Weingarten Defends Controversial Book
Fox News Digital reached out to Clinton’s office for comment but received no response.
Weingarten, however, defended the book, insisting it’s not an attack on conservatives but instead a “love letter to teachers.”
In her book, she claims that fascist regimes throughout history have targeted schools and educators to gain control over society.
“Fascists are threatened by teachers because they help create informed, independent thinkers who can see through lies and fearmongering,” the book’s preview states.
Critics argue this rhetoric is deeply insulting to millions of American parents who simply want a say in their children’s education.
The Connection to Kirk’s Assassination
The timing of Clinton’s post is what many find most disturbing.
Just days earlier, Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a shooter who authorities say was motivated by far-left ideology and had been posting extremist content online.
Investigators revealed that the killer etched the word “fascist” onto his bullet casings, making Clinton’s post appear especially callous.
Conservatives have spent the past week sounding the alarm about the escalating hate speech coming from liberal activists, politicians, and media personalities.
“This isn’t just rhetoric anymore,” one conservative commentator warned. “This language has consequences. It’s putting lives at risk.”
Why Older Americans Are Watching Closely
For millions of older Americans, this controversy hits home.
Many have seen political violence before and are deeply concerned about the rise of radical left-wing ideology and the ongoing attack on conservative voices.
With public trust in government, media, and schools at historic lows, Clinton’s post is being seen as a dangerous provocation at a time when the nation desperately needs unity—not more division.
The Bigger Picture
This firestorm comes as debates over school curriculum, parental rights, and free speech are reaching a boiling point.
Clinton’s decision to side with Weingarten, one of the most powerful union leaders in America, signals that Democrats are prepared to double down on labeling conservatives as enemies of democracy heading into the next election cycle.
For many voters—especially those who loved Kirk’s passionate defense of traditional American values—this is a stark reminder of what’s at stake in the battles over education, free speech, and the future of the country.
Bottom Line
Hillary Clinton’s post wasn’t just tone-deaf—it was a slap in the face to millions of grieving conservatives and a dangerous escalation of political rhetoric.
