I'm not sure that's an accurate depiction of Hilary's career - but that wasn't the point. The point was Merkel is the type of person who earnestly supported Harris and therefore the shade being thrown at the opposition is expected and not "headline" material.

If we take into account just how different of candidates and platforms Clinton vs. Harris is/was - then we probably have reduced Merkel's statements down to her supporting a woman US president. Also... not "headline" material (and, as an aside, is quite shallow for someone of Merkel's credentials).

I'm not sure History will judge Merkel kindly, though...
