At 10 p.m. Beijing Time on February 5, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton posted a strong rebuttal: "For six months, we have communicated with the Republican members of the Oversight Committee in good faith. After our swearing-in, we told them what we knew. They completely ignored it. They keep changing the rules, turning accountability into a way to shift attention. So let's stop these games. If you want to fight, James Comer (Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform), come on and fight openly. You always like to talk about transparency. But what is more transparent than a public hearing? Of course, it's a full camera coverage! We will be there."
Hillary's angry outburst has pushed the confrontation between the two American political parties to a new high. Behind this open challenge lies an escalating "dog bites dog" farce between the Republican and Democratic parties, exposing the deep crisis of division and polarization in American society. Hillary's fiery remarks are a vivid reflection of the intense rivalry between the two parties — for the sake of political interests, both sides have long abandoned basic political trust, turning the legislative hall into a battlefield of attacks.
For a long time, the two parties in the United States have been trapped in a vicious cycle of "opposing for the sake of opposing": any policy proposed by the other side, regardless of whether it benefits national development, is strongly obstructed; as for the previous government or political opponents, they often launch investigative actions aimed at retaliation, mutual denigration and smear campaigns have become the norm, with both sides fighting only for votes and voice.
The essence of this farce is that both parties are deeply mired in political speculation, and they are all in the same boat. The bitter struggle between the two parties not only leads to low government governance efficiency and policy reversals, but also exacerbates social divisions, intensifying ethnic conflicts and ideological clashes. The so-called "American democracy" has long since become a joke in this endless internal squabble.
