People do not even know why they dislike Hillary.

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/jimmy-kimmel-hillary-clinton-impeached_us_5a0c0f03e4b0b17ffce1480e

Jimmy Kimmel says President Donald Trump’s supporters are so passionate about hating Hillary Clinton that it sometimes seems like they’ve forgotten she lost the 2016 election.

So on Tuesday’s broadcast of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, the show’s staff hit the streets to ask random people whether they thought Clinton should be impeached from a job she doesn’t have.

“Did that stop people from demanding she be removed from office?” asked Kimmel.

Have been telling hateful lies about Hillary Clinton for what - 30 years nearly? They are incapable of stopping at this point I would guess - that said - they would hate any liberal and pretty much any Democrat.

hate whoever their masters tell them to hate and reason doesn't enter into it. One day it's Bill & Hillary Clinton, next day it's Barack Obama, then it's Elizabeth Warren and on and on and on..............

about that. So first they capitalized on a tragedy in Benghazi and made up a bunch of conspiracy theories. Then they totally corrupted the FBI, essentially ending our status as a legitimate democracy, in order to sell the fake email scandal.

It was the New York Times that gave substance to the Breitbart hit job on Hillary by treating the book Clinton Cash as a serious book instead of the pack of lies it is. And if you paid attention to their headlines during the campaign, they would feature allegations about the Clinton Foundation being investigated for fraud while there were just questions about the Trump Foundation, which truly was fraudulent. Their columnist Maureen Dowd has done hit jobs on Hillary for years. William Safire stated many lies about both Clintons as absolute truth. When the lies were proved to be just that, he refused ever to apologize. The Clintons are not perfect, but U.S. media has too often accepted the lies made up by conservatives and done nothing to refute them.

about her distaste for Clinton during the election. When she ran out of anything factual to say she said "I just don't like her."

They only watch Fauxney Nooz, they only listen to hate politics and fear-and-hate religion on the radio, they only talk to people as nuts as they are, and they firmly believe that anyone who doesn't 100% agree with them is a satanic liar. They live in an alternative universe that is hermetically sealed to prevent contact with actual reality. Whenever a tiny piece of reality intrudes into their world, they simply dismiss it as fake news. Their standard of truth is, if they want to believe it, it's true and if they don't want to believe it, it's fake news.
