Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp Wants Hillary Clinton to ‘Ride Off Into The Sunset’

For one lawmaker, it’s time Hillary Clinton take a hike. Or, in the words of her brother, a “ride off into the sunset.”

In an interview with KFGO radio host Joel Heitkamp, Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota said Clinton needed to pull a disappearing act from politics.

Asked how soon she felt Clinton should make her exit, the senator didn’t mince words.

“I don’t know, not soon enough, I guess,” she said.

“What’s the answer?” the host replied.

One more time she said: “Not soon enough.”

“I mean, she’s bashing the middle of the country and my state again. I don’t need her to do that,” the host responded, apparently referring to Clinton’s recent visit to India where she commented on her loss in the 2016 presidential election, suggesting she won in the only states where voters were forward-thinking.

“If you look at the map of the United States, there is all that red in the middle, places where Trump won,” she explained. “What that map doesn’t show you is that I won the places that own two thirds of America’s Gross Domestic product. I won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward. And his whole campaign, Make America Great Again, was looking backwards. You don’t like black people getting rights, you don’t like women getting jobs, you don’t want to see that Indian American succeeding more than you are, whatever that problem is, I am going to solve it.”
