It’s far from least-plausible. By prominently displaying the virtues of compassion and forgiveness that Jesus of Nazareth advocated and most Christians claim to value, Ms. Clinton highlights the hypocrisy of rightwing pseudo-Christians. Her behavior exposes them for the frauds they are and they are afraid of that.

I don’t get it. Are you saying that haters make better Christians?

Not necessarily, but I’m saying that it’s pretty obvious they hate her for reasons other than her professed Christianity.

Okay, I thought your comment was that you were saying that it was implausible that Clinton was a christian.
