Kings Landing─In her new book “What
Happened”, her campaign memoir chronicling the 2016 presidential election,
Hillary compared herself to Cersei Lannister a character from HBO’s
runaway hit “Game of Thrones”.
“It’s not easy for any
woman in politics, but I think it’s safe to say that I got a whole other level
of vitriol flung my way. Crowds at Trump rallies called for my imprisonment more
times than I can count. They shouted, ‘Guilty! Guilty!’ like the religious
zealots in Game of Thrones chanting ‘Shame! Shame! while Cersei
Lannister walked back to the Red Keep…What in the world was this? I’ve been
in politics for a long time, but I was taken aback by the flood of hatred that
seemed to only grow as we got closer to Election Day.”
Has Granny finally come
to terms with her naked self-promotion, unbridled ruthlessness and hunger to sit
upon the Iron Throne? Her sole desire
was for us to bend the knee.
Cersei’s brother Tyrion
warned, “A day will come when you think you are safe and happy and your joy
will turn to ashes in your mouth.”
"I
have come to terms with the fact that a lot of people—millions and millions of
people—decided they just didn’t like me,” Clinton writes—though she doesn’t
understand the dislike. “What makes me such a lightning rod for fury? I’m
really asking…I’m at a loss.”
