Watch Bill Clinton Tell Black Lives Matter Protesters They’re Defending Drug Sales and Murder

[NWCorona]

"A video, via the Weekly Standard, of Bill Clinton defending his wife's support of his own criminal justice policies against protesters at a speech in Philadelphia in very strong terms. Here's what (Bill) Clinton said:

This is what's the 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. She didn't. You are defending the people who kill the lives you say matter."

This story is getting the much needed traction it deserves!

Big thanks to this thread for bringing this video to our attention.

1. Yo Bill! She called the KIDS super predators that need to be brought to heel, not the gang leaders.

2. Right

It's not like there wasn't laws already on the books to lock up gang leaders.

This bill was just to supply a steady and reliable stream of prisoners. Which the Clinton's quickly profited from.

3. Such a tiny crowd for a former president where first lady is running! Wow!

4. Well, I guess he gets points for not literally saying

"This is what's the matter... BLACK-ON-BLACK CRIME!!1!!"

(or maybe he did say that, I can't actually watch the video atm. Regardless, he's barely a half-step away)

5. Hillary Clinton Should Stop Letting This Rambling Old Man Speak For Her

"Who is this man, and why is he allowed to stump for Hillary Clinton? These are questions that roiled in my mind while watching Bill Clinton, seemingly motivated by defending his own name rather than promoting his wife’s presidential campaign, argue in an unhinged fashion with a Black Lives Matter protestor in Philadelphia and say some seriously sideways shit that is more likely to harm Hillary’s efforts than help. Hillary Clinton should possibly consider firing this dude.

During his speech in the video above, an activist yells out a question, which is unidentifiable and garbled on this recording but appears to have been about “super-predators.” As the camera pans back, other protestors are visible, with one sign reading “Hillary Clinton is a murderer.” Clinton begins by saying how much he “loves” interacting with protestors so long as they allow him to answer, and then responds to the activist:"

8. From the reports I've read

Bill took it harder than Hillary when she lost in 2008 and was livid with Obama.

I can't imagine he's happy with how things are going right now. Things slip when you are emotional.

But you are right tho. He's usually more polished.
