Hillary Clinton Roasted: How Patrick Bet-David and Lindy Lee Turned a Political Icon Into a Punchline


Is Anthony Weiner still alive? That’s how the conversation starts—a dark joke about the infamous “Clinton Deadpool.” But what follows is not just another conspiracy-laden podcast. It’s a ruthless, relentless roast of Hillary Clinton’s entire career, orchestrated by Patrick Bet-David and Lindy Lee, who together deliver more of a political demolition job than a debate.

Hillary Clinton: The Android Politician
From the outset, Lee and Bet-David paint Hillary as almost inhuman—an “android” incapable of genuine emotion or empathy. While other politicians, even Joe Biden, are described as “genuine” at least on a human level, Hillary comes off as cold, cynical, and jaded. Lee’s analysis is surgical, exposing every contradiction, while Bet-David’s approach is methodical and icy, cutting through Hillary’s carefully crafted image to reveal what they call the “thin veneer of false leadership.”

A Legacy of Excuses and Scapegoats
Hillary’s political legacy, once considered inevitable, is shredded. She’s depicted as the “perpetually running woman who never truly succeeds”—the candidate who keeps practicing for a victory speech that was never given. Whenever she loses, it’s never her fault: misogyny, Russia, the FBI, Bernie Sanders, the Electoral College, even viral YouTube videos. Lee mocks this “scapegoat empire,” showing how Hillary built a mythology of outside enemies to explain away her failures.

The Email Scandal and Houdini of Accountability
No roast of Hillary would be complete without the infamous email controversy. Bet-David lampoons her handling of national security as if it were a private Gmail account, calling her the “Houdini of accountability” for evading every scandal only to stumble into another. Her inability to grasp the concept of classified material is likened to aspiring to be a Fortune 500 CEO but failing to keep the company safe open.

Feminism as a Costume, Not a Cause
Lee intensifies the takedown by exposing Hillary’s opportunistic feminism. She presents herself as an advocate for women but protects her husband from accusations and uses her gender as a shield when it suits her. “Feminism was her outfit, not her cause,” Lee declares, highlighting how Hillary’s brand was always more about optics than substance.

The Basket of Deplorables and the Loss of Authenticity
One of the most notorious moments—the “basket of deplorables” comment—is held up as proof of Hillary’s detachment and contempt for ordinary Americans. The slip of her polished mask revealed her hubris and cost her dearly. In contrast, Bernie Sanders caught fire in 2016 because, as Lee puts it, “at least he was real.”

The Clinton Foundation and Pay-to-Play Politics
Bet-David attacks the Clinton Foundation as a scandal-plagued organization that confused charity with pay-for-access politics. He points out the hypocrisy of a woman who claimed to be anti-corruption yet was surrounded by it, arguing that her public service was more about enrichment than duty.

A Career Defined by Failure and Entitlement
The roast reaches its crescendo as Bet-David and Lee strip away the rehearsed speeches, Hollywood glamour, and endless justifications, leaving only a politician defined by failure and entitlement. Hillary is mocked for her inability to connect, her lifeless campaign energy, and her assumption that popularity was inevitable. Every attempt at reinvention—whether baking cookies, drinking beer in a dive bar, or adopting a southern drawl—comes off as blatantly fake.

The Tragic Comedy of American Politics
In the end, Hillary Clinton is revealed not as a trailblazer, but as a cautionary tale—a character who sought history only to become its laughingstock. Her legacy is described as “ashes,” her credibility “in shambles,” and her campaign as a tragic comedy of American politics. She is the candidate who made entitlement into a campaign, the feminist who used feminism as a prop, and the advocate of transparency who concealed everything.

Conclusion
Patrick Bet-David and Lindy Lee do more than just destroy Hillary Clinton’s reputation—they expose the tragic flaws at the heart of her political career. When the smoke clears, what’s left is not an icon, but a punchline.
