Patrick Clancy recently did an interview with 60 Minutes where he detailed the experience of losing his three kids and everything that's happened after with the trial of his ex-wife Lindsay Clancy. And if you thought this was going to stop people on the internet from attacking this man and even accusing him of the crime itself, you were wrong. Let's talk about it.

Guys, before we get into today's video, please consider liking and subscribing. Today we're going to be talking about Patrick Clancy on 60 Minutes, and more than that, talking about the people that have attacked him online and continue to attack him online. This case has pointed out so many horrifying things. Not only the ability of a mother to kill her kids in such a heinous way, but the reaction from the public on this has been truly, truly dark. But before we get into that, I'm going to show a clip of Patrick on sixty minutes where he talks about his son Callum.

So I didn't have all the details of Callan's condition. I just knew that they got a heartbeat back, so I remember um That night I I I really thought there was a chance that Callan would live. And I I remember just thinking, just give me one, just give me one kid. And I would raise him as best I could, and I would give him the best life I possibly could. I tell him about his brother and sister. And I was holding out hope for that. And then when I got to the hospital. I saw the doctor, I saw the look on her face and and I knew that it it wasn't gonna be a A good prognosis.

Patrick Clancy 1:58
And I got to I got to hold 'em. I got to lay down next to him. And he died in my arms.

Uh it's it's unimaginable. It's it's truly unimaginable and I it's You'd think, I don't know, that people who are uh making accusations against this man or attacking him or blaming him for what happened to him would be able to see Something like this, and maybe for a moment second guess themselves, second guess their conclusions, the theories that they came up with. But it doesn't seem to be the case. Now, Patrick even in the sixty minutes interview got to address the people who were putting out these conspiracy theories about him. Let's watch that.
Ross Douthat 2:43
Online swarm of sleuths and influencers has been dissecting every detail of the case, developing theories that portray him as uncaring, unfaithful, and even the murderer of his children. How do you respond to people who have that idea
Patrick Clancy 2:59
about you? It's Deeply harmful to the legacy of my children. It is a huge distraction from what really matters here, which is perinatal mental health. And it's done real harm. To real people. Myself included, but also others. How does it affect you directly, the stuff that's out there online? It's painful to see. And it makes it difficult to be in public. And it's possible that some of those people

How does Patrick describe his last days with his son Callan?

Patrick Clancy 3:30
After seeing lie after lie after lie, they start to believe it. That's what we're left with.
Amala Ekpunobi 3:36
And for a long time now, I've been trying to wrap my head around the mindset that these people have, the ones who are blaming Patrick Clancy of this crime, or at the very least, are blaming him for the conditions that Lindsay Clancy was in to have her commit such a crime. I think many of these women see themselves so much in Lindsay Clancy that they want to divorce themselves from the reality of what she's done. I think others are consumed with their ideas of modern day feminine. Feminism and this idea of a patriarchal society, and they want to blame men for the actions of women at all times. Some of them don't want women to be held accountable. There are so many things that could be at the root of why somebody would think in this way, but for a moment, let's just remind ourselves of what people have been saying about Patrick and Lindsay, what they've been posting online about this case and this trial to show you truly how disgusting it actually is.
