HILLARY CLINTON ROOM

Jennifer Epstein


Hillary Clinton offered condolences Thursday for the losses suffered in a mass shooting at a South Carolina church and vowed action in the face of yet another "terrible tragedy."

"The shock and pain of this crime of hate strikes deep," Clinton said in Las Vegas, speaking to National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials.

overly aggressive DOJ.

What happened to that kid in Ferguson and subsequently the absurd Grand Jury and DA etc., all that racism is still not addressed.

Being shot dead for jaywalking, still not addressed.

Whether Hillary or Bernie have the desire and hardheadedness or not to do something about it in a big way, remains to be seen.

But here is the conversation:

teaparty person "Damn colored people get special treatment from our government, and they are all lazy"

normal person "Fuck you, you disgusting piece of shit racist"

We arent getting anywhere with that
