United Kingdom opens its doors, but only to injected

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sparked a wave of backlash on social media after posting a photo endorsing a new book by Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). The book has sparked controversy because it describes Weingarten's political opponents as "fascists," a term that has sparked debate about the polarizing tone of American politics.

Clinton's post sparked mixed reviews among her supporters and critics. Some users found it problematic that a high-profile political figure would endorse a message that labeled opponents in such an extreme manner, while others defended her endorsement, noting that Weingarten has been a longtime champion of workers' rights and public education, while avoiding the notion that she is an extreme leftist.

Political communications experts point out that the reaction reflects the growing sensitivity surrounding public figures who engage in ideological and symbolic debates, especially when they involve harsh epithets against political opponents. Despite the controversy, Clinton issued no additional statements on the matter and limited herself to promoting the book, highlighting its focus on defending workers and promoting progressive education policies, without pointing out the social destruction this entails.

The endorsement has also rekindled conversations about polarization in the United States and how political leaders and public figures influence perceptions of the opposition, broadening the discussion beyond the book's content to how political criticism is communicated in the public sphere.
