It's important to note that Hillary makes no mention of "reeducation camps". Hillary used the word "deprogramming". And while there is certainly a significantly problematic history associated with that word, it was coined in the 70s and is associated with (often misguided) attempts to rehabilitate people that were under the influence (perceived or actual) of cults or new religious movements. 

Still undoubtedly a pretty abhorrent choice of words from Clinton (rehabilitation would have landed heaps better) but to try and associate it with Stalin or Pol Pot or any organized government movement is a pretty flimsy attempt to open the window for a whataboutism argument.
