Good Morning America got gutsy and took time out to grovel at the feet of Hillary and Chelsea Clinton yesterday. The morning news show featured a segment to promote the mother-and-daughter’s latest joint venture: a book entitled “The Book of Gutsy Women.”

GMA could not leave well enough alone and had to, of course, ask for the former Secretary of State’s input on impeachment hearings before diving in to ask her about the “gutsiest” thing she did:

The “gutsiest” thing Hillary Clinton has ever done, according to the witch herself? Stay in her marriage.

Ah, boy, I think the gutsiest thing I’ve ever done — well, personally, make the decision to stay in my marriage. Publicly, politically, run for president. And keep going. Just get up every day and keep going.”-Hillary Clinton

Because she’s a regular Energizer Bunny. She keeps going…and going…and going. Or perhaps it is because she values the holy union of marriage because she is such a wholesome, family-values-based individual? Maybe she decided to stay after Bill went on a little men’s retreat (with a guy named Epstein)?

I’ve honestly wondered for years how my feminist friends can stand by and for ⁦@HillaryClinton⁩. She’s literally squashed stories from her husband’s abusers & stayed with him to advance her own career. He’s disgusting & yet, she stays & they cheer. https://t.co/qZnvh5nbTK

Hillary Clinton stays in her marriage. Stood by her man. This after numerous women came forward and were squashed as gold diggers.

“Gutsy” is staying in a marriage that is based on political appearances. This “gutsy” woman stood by her man and harassed and abused women who made allegations against the creepy, old pervert who is William Jefferson Clinton. She was an utter and complete bully to these women, but this she views is being “gutsy!” Now she and her progressive pod-person of a daughter—who had everything handed to her on a silver platter—are talking about women who risked it all? They are spotlighting women who inspired them in order to inspire other girls? What, exactly, did Chelsea Clinton risk? Did she live on Top Ramen in her college days? Did she work a minimum wage job? Nope. She graduated, and upon doing so was awarded with a job making half a million a year for a “foundation!”

As Chelsea gives her mom a gingerly touch of the hand and a “there, there” on camera, I could not help to think that “gutsy” to these women is establishment politics and doing whatever it takes to stay in the fold of all of the benefits that go along with this legacy. “Gutsy” is preying off of those deemed lesser for one’s own gain. I suppose it is “gutsy” to store a bunch of e-mails on a home-brew server and violate rules and laws that have been put in place with regard to classified material. It’s also “gutsy” to roll over and play dead as Secretary of State in the midst of an international incident with lives of Americans in your hands. It’s “gutsy” not to do anything when these individuals are at your mercy and on your watch, Hillary. It’s “gutsy” to defend one’s ineptitude with a “what difference does it make,” isn’t it? It takes colossal cojones to spend a ton of money, run a political campaign into the ground and blame everybody else for its failure! Shatter those Javits Center ceilings!

We’re seeing shades of 2016’s loss for Hillary Clinton in our rear-view mirror. Hey, Hillary: no guts, no glory!
