National Review reporter has some valid questions for Hillary Clinton

National Review’s Katherine Timpf, a self-described “middle-class Millennial female,” recently penned a hilarious letter to Hillary Clinton that perfectly captures her hypocrisy on a number of issues.

In particular, Timpf makes observations about:

1) Hillary’s hypocritical call for criminal justice reform. Timpf writes:

In a speech last week at Columbia University, you announced that it’s “time to end the era of mass incarceration.” … [But] your record seems to suggest that you do think that locking people up is the answer. During your time as First Lady, while Bill was enacting policies that provided funding to build more prisons and pushed states to adopt harsher sentencing laws, you cheered him on.

2) Hillary’s hypocritical exploitation of the issues with our legal system about which she herself complains. Timpf says:

You also decried the fact that our legal system is “stacked against those who have the least power.” … You’ve faced plenty of accusations of criminal activity yourself. Are you offering up the team that helped you through Benghazi and E-mailgate to help the next young black man who gets the book thrown at him for a drug offense in Baltimore?

3) Her hypocritical desire for police to wear body cameras for “transparency and accountability.” Timpf asks:

You also talked about wanting body cameras for police to record their every move. … If you want cops to turn over camera footage of every single moment of their shifts, why did you turn over only some of your e-mails from your time as secretary of state? What is the difference?

This “letter” to Hillary isn’t only charming, it’s illuminating the way in which Clinton is insincerely attempting to reach out to regular Americans in her bid for president, particularly those of us in the Millennial camp who are least likely to view her as honest.

She’s trying to take the popular positions on the legal system and transparency, despite her contradictory past opinions and actions. Hillary wants you to believe she’s working for you and listening to you, and that her campaign is all about you. 

Unfortunately, she’s having a bit of trouble pulling this off while simultaneously seeming genuine.
