At least Bill Clinton is finally showing his true colors.
Whilst in attendance at a Clinton campaign rally, he presumably got sick of spouting the same old soundbites he was briefed, so decided to be fallacious and condescending to Black Lives Matter protestors instead.
But alas, a common theme of the Clinton campaign this year has been similar to that of 2008: making it as hard as possible for themselves.
As Gawker reports, in just six minutes, Clinton manages to embarrass himself to the extreme by coming out with all of these vacuous statements:
- “Here’s the thing. I like protestors, but the ones that won’t let you answer are afraid of the truth.”
- “Hillary spent her time trying to get healthcare for poor kids—and who were they? Their lives matter.”
- “I don’t know how you would characterize the gang leaders who got 13-year-old kids hopped up on crack and sent them out into the street to murder other African American children. Maybe you thought they were good citizens—she didn’t.”
- “You are defending the people who killed the lives you say matter. Tell the truth.”
- “The reason they know it’s true is [the protestors] won’t hush. When somebody won’t hush and listen to you, that ain’t democracy. They’re afraid of the truth. Don’t you be afraid of the truth.”
- “I’ll tell you another story about a place where black lives matter: Africa.”
Good going, Bill.
