Hillary Clinton, the twice-unsuccessful presidential candidate, faced a wave of criticism on social media after sharing a birthday message on Sunday.
In her post, Clinton, who turned 78, reflected on her life journey with a childhood photo and expressed a desire to hear from others about their contributions to the next generation.
"Im 78 today, and thinking of all the people who helped this young girl grow and thrive along the way. Today Id love to hear about how youre showing up, in ways large or small, for the next generation. Maybe someone will be inspired by your comment to be a part of a childs village in the same way," she wrote.
As reported by Breitbart, the post quickly garnered responses from social media users, with one comparing her to a character from "The Little House on the Prairie," describing her as "the mean little girl whose father owned the general store." Another user labeled her as "The definition of a battle axe," while a third remarked she was "The Devil in disguise." Such reactions are not new for Clinton, who has often been a polarizing figure in American politics.
In a notable instance from 2019, President Donald Trump's campaign team, along with other conservatives, took the opportunity to remind Clinton of her 2016 tweet that featured a childhood photo captioned, "Happy Birthday to this future President."
This tweet, intended as a celebratory gesture, was met with irony following President Trump's decisive victory over Clinton in the 2016 election. The Trump campaign's official Twitter account highlighted this historic defeat by sharing a video showcasing Trump's state-by-state triumph.
In 2020, Clinton extended birthday wishes to then-Senator Kamala Harris, who later became Vice President under Joe Biden. However, in the 2024 presidential race, Harris and her running mate, Governor Tim Walz, were defeated by President Trump, underscoring the enduring influence of conservative values in the American political landscape.
Clinton's continued presence in the public eye, despite her electoral setbacks, remains a point of contention among conservatives who view her as emblematic of liberal policies they oppose.
