Twice-failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was spotted carrying a book that appears to be eerily relatable to her own life.
Hillary knows a thing or two about being part of a family that is shrouded by secrecy and shame.
The scandals surrounding her own family made a recent public sighting of her rather ironic in light of what she was seen carrying.
On Monday, Hillary Clinton was spotted in New York City carrying a book that documents the “shame and secrecy” of a particular family, the Daily Mail reported.
Though the book was not about her own family, the observation nonetheless provided fodder for a rehashing of some of the more secretive and shameful scandals involving the Clinton family over the years.
According to the Daily Mail, Hillary was seen in Manhattan following a lengthy holiday vacation in various parts of Latin America.
She was spotted carrying a book with a title that was seemingly applicable to her own family.
The book, titled “Shanda: A Memoir of Shame and Secrecy,” was published in 2022 by author Letty Cottin Pogrebin, a feminist activist who co-founded the “Ms.” magazine with fellow activist Gloria Steinham in the 1970s.
Pogrebin’s book, the title of which is the Yiddish word for “shame” or “disgrace,” recounts the author’s upbringing in a Jewish family in America and “the fiercely-guarded lies and intricate cover-ups” of various members from multiple generations over several decades.
The Daily Mail took the title of the book Hillary Clinton was carrying and deemed it applicable to her own family.
The book is especially relatable to Hillary in the wake of the recent unsealing of documents from an earlier lawsuit related to the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The document dump has served to resurrect the fact that Epstein, once a wealthy Democrat financier, was close friends with former President Bill Clinton.
The former president is known to have traveled multiple times on Epstein’s private jet.
It is also believed that Bill Clinton made multiple visits to Epstein’s “Pedophile Island” in the Caribbean, witnesses have alleged.
That alleged linkage between Epstein and President Clinton is far from the only secretive or shameful episode in the scandal-ridden history of the Clinton family, however.
While there are several to choose from, one of the biggest and earliest examples of the Clinton family’s shame and secrecy was President Clinton’s secret affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky that was exposed — and led to his impeachment when he lied about it to investigators — as part of a special prosecutor’s probe into questionable real estate dealings by the first family.
The president was ultimately acquitted and his first lady remained by his side, even as the scandalous affair has stuck with them ever since.
Another point of secrecy and shame for the Clinton family is several alleged scandals involving the Clinton Foundation, including selling political access, accepting donations from shady foreign actors and nations, and broad allegations of influence-peddling and favors delivered in exchange for donations, among other things.
More personally for Hillary, there was the 2015-2016 scandal involving her secretive use of a private email server to conduct government business.
The email use was a likely violation of certain federal laws and State Department rules for which she managed to sidestep any legal accountability.
To her everlasting shame, however, American voters seemingly held Clinton accountable in 2016 when they voted to elect President Donald Trump instead of her.
The American people’s choice to elect Trump to be the 45th president of the United States is an ignominious moment in U.S. history for Hillary that she will never be able to escape from.
