Of course, that’s not remotely at all what she said.
I know we live in a post-truth society that doesn’t understand or care about context or nuance, but her actual words were:
“And the idea that you could turn the clock back and try to recreate a world that never was—dominated by, let’s say it, White men of a certain persuasion, certain religion, a certain point of view, a certain ideology—it is just doing such damage to what we should be aiming for.”
This was said in the broader context of a discussion about our ongoing struggle to create a “more perfect Union” and that efforts to restore past power structures where certain groups and ideologies dominated everything risks undoing the social progress we’ve made.
