Hillary Clinton’s criticism of Donald Trump’s decision to host a UFC event at the White House sparked immediate backlash from conservatives. Clinton, who lost to Trump in the 2016 election, posted that the White House is “not his house” but “our house,” while promoting merchandise to support candidates she said would respect the institution.
Her remarks, however, were met with accusations of hypocrisy, with critics pointing to controversies from her and Bill Clinton’s time in office.
Representative Tim Burchett and retired Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson were among those who responded sharply, referencing Bill Clinton’s scandal with Monica Lewinsky and alleged misconduct during his presidency.
Patterson, who said he carried the nuclear football for Clinton, accused Hillary of lecturing about respect while her husband engaged in inappropriate behavior and mishandled sensitive responsibilities.
Conservative figures like Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton also mocked her, while the Republican Party’s official account suggested she “sit this one out.”
The criticism revived long-standing debates about the Clintons’ legacy, including claims of vandalism at the White House when they left in 2001.
A Government Accountability Office investigation at the time estimated $15,000 in damage, concluding that some pranks were intentional. Clinton’s supporters countered that the damage was similar to what other administrations had left behind.
The exchange highlights how Trump’s event reignited partisan disputes, with Clinton’s comments serving as a flashpoint for revisiting past controversies.
