Gabby Giffords joins HRC in SC to pay tribute to pay tribute to victims of gun violence
In a break with her monthslong strategy against Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Mrs. Clinton did not criticize her rival or even refer to him obliquely as she reiterated her call for tougher gun laws, an issue that she usually uses to attack Mr. Sanders. She also spoke less about herself or her political needs than about the women who joined her in the church sanctuary: the mothers of the Black Lives Matter movement and former Representative Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona, who was nearly killed in a 2011 shooting and spoke haltingly and powerfully about her support for Mrs. Clinton.
As she heads into a series of Southern primaries that are likely to benefit her more than Mr. Sanders, Mrs. Clinton spoke forcefully about empathy for African-Americans who face disproportionately harsh treatment from the police and often begin their lives in poor school districts and lacking other advantages.
“White Americans, we need to do a better job when African-Americans talk about the seen and unseen barriers they face every single day,” Mrs. Clinton said. “We have to recognize our privilege and practice humility rather than assume our experiences are everyone’s experiences.”
