Naturally, Clinton was asked about the Republican disarray in the House of Representatives where their fringiest faction ousted their own Speaker for failing to toe the wingnut line closely enough. Although Fox News thinks they may have found an alternative more to their liking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=58231\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">LOLOL: Fox News is Already Hyping Trump for Speaker of the House, and He is Open To It<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the course of the interview, Amanpour asked Clinton whether there was a way going forward wherein the parties could form coalitions to advance the people&#8217;s business. Clinton began her response by noting that the passage of the Continuing Resolution that temporarily avoided a government shutdown was evidence that there there is a <em>&#8220;common sense, sane part of the Republican caucus in the House.&#8221;<\/em> However, she also observed that they are often <em>&#8220;intimidated&#8221;<\/em> by the GOP extremists. She elaborated saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Sadly, so many of those extremists, those MAGA extremists take their marching orders from Donald Trump, who has no credibility left by any measure. He&#8217;s only in it for himself. He&#8217;s now defending himself in civil actions and criminal actions, and we need a break with him. Because at some point point maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members.

That was all that was necessary to trigger the outrage of Fox News.

But more to the point, Lahren wants to know <em>&#8220;why the Democrats would continue to parade [Clinton] out.&#8221;<\/em> Lahren&#8217;s complaint that the Democratic Party is <em>&#8220;allowing&#8221;<\/em> Clinton to speak is an affirmation that the Trumpist Republicans are indeed a cult and that, in their tunnel-blind perception, all political parties are cults. They can&#8217;t comprehend that Clinton is free to speak about whatever she wants, any time she wants, without getting permission from GOP-style party apparatchiks. Republicans don&#8217;t tolerate that sort of independent thought.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, at no point in the interview did Clinton suggest that she was speaking for the Democratic Party. She was offering her own opinions. However, the lock-step agreement from the other panelists on the Fox News program is further proof of the cult-like state of the GOP as represented on their propaganda network. Which, ironically, underscores the kernel of truth in Clinton&#8217;s snarky statement that the Trump Deplorables need to be deprogrammed. They just keep confirming that they are cult. Especially when they try to deny it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=58186\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Says He Watches a Lot of Fox News, That He Also Says is \u2018Totally Fake\u2019 and \u2018Unwatchable\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=58050\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">HUH?
