If Wellesley College graduates were looking for a bit of inspiration from an alumnus on Friday, they attended the wrong ceremony.
Instead, they were on the receiving end of Hillary Clinton’s bitter tirade aimed at the President of the United States.

“You are graduating at a time when there is a full-fledged assault on truth and reason.” pic.twitter.com/OPY8D7AlBM— Holly O’Reilly (@AynRandPaulRyan) May 26, 2017
“You are graduating at a time when there is a full-fledged assault on truth and reason,” Clinton told graduates.
“Just log onto social media for 10 seconds. It will hit you right in the face. People denying science, concocting elaborate, hurtful conspiracy theories about child abuse rings operating out of pizza parlors,” she said to laughs, referring to a scheme a small group of opponents claim was exposing through John Podesta’s leaked emails.
“Drumming up rampant fear about undocumented immigrants, Muslims, minorities, the poor — turning neighbor against neighbor and sowing division at a time we desperately need unity,” Clinton said.
“Some are even denying things we see with our own eyes, like a size of crowds,” she said, likely referring to the dispute over the attendance at Trump’s inauguration in January.
“And then defending themselves by talking about ‘alternative facts,'” she said.
In another moment, she compared President Trump to Richard Nixon.
Talking about when she was a student at Wellesley, Clinton said, “We were furious about the past presidential election of a man’s whose presidency would eventually end in disgrace for his impeachment for obstruction of justice.”
After wild applause from the female audience, she continued, “After firing the person running the investigation into him at the Department of Justice.”
Clinton’s bitter tirade shows Donald Trump is still living rent-free insider her head.
