Hillary to Ashley Williams, "You're the first person to ask me, dear"

Except, yeah, not so much.

From a BuzzFeed podcast interview with Hillary this past October.

ANOTHER ROUND: I feel like what [Black Lives Matter activists] were looking for, and what a lot of black people are looking for, is for you and/or your husband to shoulder some responsibility in the crisis that we’re facing now. So, my question to you is do you ever look at the state of black America today — we can focus on the prison system for now — and regardless of what the intents were, and I know the ‘90s were a different time — times change, legislation changes, needs change — but regardless of your intent, do you ever look at the state of black America and think, “Wow, we really fucked this up for black people”?


More, including Hillary's throwing Sharpton under the bus in response at the link.

Sit back in their chairs and laugh their heads off.

That's what they did on Inauguration Day.

She says what she thinks she needs to say in the moment and doesn't even think twice about truth.

It's a marker in the transcript that she needs a meme constructed.
