Why people hate Hillary so much

The Democratic presidential nominee has been disliked for years

In 1996, Washington host Sally Quinn said about Hillary Clinton, “There’s just something about her that pisses people off.” And this is something that applies to most of her naysayers — they can’t put a finger on why they dislike her, but they do. Unlike her peers, who are given a chance and shown warmth, the former Secretary of State constantly brings out the worst in people (even if it’s unintentional).

While she was hated in the 1990s for being too rigid and ‘self-righteous’, she is now condemned as ‘corrupt’ and ‘a part of the system’. Michelle Goldberg, a columnist for Slate, spoke to some people, Democrats and Republicans alike, and here’s what they have to say on why they dislike Hillary.
