Related: About this forumHillary 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 were 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.

(28,876 posts)4. I don't think she even pauses a moment before lying her ass off.
She says what she thinks she needs to say in the moment and doesn't even think twice about truth.

Hillary needs to get out more
I am sure that the wall street crowd would not ask her that question

(50,130 posts)3. I have heard her use that phrase before.
I think it's her go-to when she has no pat answer.

(50,130 posts)6. yeah, she is probably speaking directly to the minders
It's a marker in the transcript that she needs a meme constructed.
