Hillary can't help herself, turns Sheila Jackson Lee's memorial service into a campaign event

Hillary Clinton spoke at the memorial service for the late Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, and some say her comments were more at home at a campaign rally.

The former secretary of state couldn't help but use her moment in the spotlight to shore up Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign, prompting derision from commentators who found her script inappropriate.

I will see:

“We lost her too soon, now we could use her voice. But next January, when our first woman president takes the oath of office, I'll be thinking of Sheila, wondering what in heaven she's wearing. What a gorgeous long scarf s 'he messed up,' Clinton declared. “What a hairstyle she managed to get for this special occasion. I will think of her, Shirley Chisholm and Barbara Jordan, and all the generations of women who helped make that day possible, because they never stopped believing. You know, Sojourner Truth said, “If the first woman God made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all by herself, these women together should be able to turn it back and put it back together.” .

Commentators expressed their displeasure at Clinton's brazen behavior:

Hilary talking about heaven? How strange it is.

Nothing like turning a funeral into a political cap

Hillary looks rough. All these years of money laundering and suicide of people have taken their toll

RIP Sheila. Those attending the celebration of life, do not campaign at the services. It's an opportunity to show support, offer condolences and pay tribute, not campaign.

Assuming he's in heaven. She's probably still at the gates answering for the horror she treated her staff and the people around her while I was lucky enough not to be employed by her. It's strange how leftists talk about heaven while hating Christ and his teachings.

Guess who wasn't our first female president?

This is gross. Talk politics at a funeral.

Let the Dems turn a funeral into a political rally.

Then again, most of their voters are dead, so…
