In reply to the discussion: Bill Clinton Says Black Lives Matter Activists Are Defending Murderers And Drug Dealers [View all]chervilant
(8,267 posts)163. How condescending.
Bill Clinton's tirade in the above-linked video is offensive and disingenuous.
I find it interesting that the Hi11ary campaign is in react mode. This tells me that Senator Sanders' campaign has had a significant impact. If Hi11ary was truly "for the people," her focus would be entirely different. She cannot seem to help herself -- she defaults to react mode when she feels threatened, and that's a very dangerous ground on which to stand.

There is nothing to take out of context. Hillary said it all clearly, exactly what she meant.
