According to a former top military aide who served in the Clinton White House, Hillary Clinton wasn’t just unpopular — she was feared. Buzz Patterson, a former U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel and Senior Military Aide to President Bill Clinton, revealed in a viral series of posts on X this week that Hillary’s presence inside the White House turned what should have been the epicenter of leadership into something closer to a hostile workplace.
Patterson, whose duties included carrying the “nuclear football” — the Presidential Emergency Satchel used to authorize nuclear strikes — served in close proximity to both Clintons from 1996 to 1998. And what he saw behind closed doors wasn’t the polished, carefully crafted image Hillary projected to the public.
“We used to say that when Hillary was gone, it was a frat party,” Patterson wrote. “When she was home, it was Schindler’s List.”
That’s not just office gossip — that’s a chilling depiction from someone with firsthand access to the most powerful corridors of government. Patterson said the first lady was nicknamed the “Nazi Schoolmarm” and was so feared that White House staff would literally hide to avoid encountering her.
“She instructed the senior staff, including me, that she didn’t want to be forced to encounter us,” Patterson said. “Many a time, I’d see mature, professional adults, working in the most important building in the world, scurrying into office doorways to escape Hillary’s line of sight.”
Patterson’s portrayal is brutal and specific. He called Hillary “evil, vindictive, profane,” and “a b****,” adding that her disrespect for the military was clear — even going so far as to try banning military uniforms in the White House to downplay the importance of the armed forces during her husband’s presidency.
He also recalled a moment that made President Clinton furious: when Patterson refused to let him leave for a restaurant that hadn’t yet been secured by the Secret Service. It was a glimpse into a chaotic, often impulsive administration where staff had to balance protocol, politics, and the egos of two very different — but equally volatile — personalities.
Patterson, now a vocal supporter of President Trump, closed his commentary with a line that sums it all up: “The Clintons are corrupt beyond words.”
And coming from someone who had a front-row seat to their reign, that statement should raise alarms — even decades later.
