After the way she behaved in 2008, she is saying exactly what I expect her to say. Nothing.
Remember, she said herself that her voters are the 'hardworking working class white voters'. No reason for her to say anything.

Sad. I had hoped she would get out in front on the issue, but that takes empathy and courage.
