Harriet Christian (angry Hillary supporter) is Mayella Ewell in to kill a mockingbird...
This has been bugging me for days. That voice, that anger, the explosive racism. I put both clips up because I find the situation has parallels. It took me a while to find the clip of Mayella's "I got something to say" rant, but you won't believe how close the two are.

1. Ouch!
Not sure if I agree, but that's definitely a harsh assessment.

She also had some trouble with racial stereotypes.

5. ! You're so right. I hadn't thought of that but I've been thinking of Mayella
because there was one poster here who constantly reminded me of Mayella with her posts. I'm shocked there are so many racist biddies running around, I thought America had come a little further than that and these Primaries were very painful. The good news is that enough of America has indeed come further and has no tolerance for that special kind of hate.
