Sen. Heidi Heitkamp perfectly summed up Hillary Clinton’s insistence that Democrats can’t be civil to Republicans until they regain control of Congress. Quoth the North Dakota Democrat: “That’s ridiculous.”

Actually, “ridiculous” is an understatement. Clinton — clearly desperate to regain a foothold in national politics — has openly embraced the far-left mob and its calls to wage relentless war.

Her justification: Republicans, she suggests, started it — and she’s been unfairly on the receiving end for 25 years. So, she told CNN , “Democrats have to be tougher,” because “the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength.”

As if falsely branding a Supreme Court nominee a gang rapist and chasing Republicans from public places is too timid.

No, says Clinton, Democrats must first win control of Congress by any means necessary — and only then can “civility” begin. Or, as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell put it: “No peace until they get their way.”

And never mind that, after Democrats won the presidency and huge majorities in Congress in 2008, their message to Republicans was: “Elections have consequences,” so the minority should just shut up.

While few, if any, top Democrats have denounced lefty activists’ mob behavior, Clinton is the first to openly endorse it.

Of course, she has always been about the politics of resentment. But whereas candidate Donald Trump became a voice for those who resented their treatment by the self-professed elites, Clinton is all about her resentment of those who oppose her, and who twice denied her the presidency.

But she’s only saying what other Democratic officials are openly hinting at. Some, like Sen. Mazie Hirono and Rep. Maxine Waters, have endorsed harassing and chasing Republicans from public places.

This likely won’t do much for Hillary’s waning popularity among Democrats. But we shudder to think what she would have demanded from the mobs had she ever become president.
