(19,326 posts)Again, it's was the context of her 9/11 "reflections" that was problematic.
She wasn't asked "What do you remember doing on 9/11?", she was asked a
completely different question: i.e. about why her HUGE Wall St. donors wouldn't be
expecting some favors in exchange for their generous 'investments' in her running
for POTUS.

(6,960 posts)A remembrance on his U.S. Senate web site is not using 9/11 for political gain.
Just how petty are you Hillaryites going to get?
I use the Hillaryite term on purpose ... is this some kind of religion-type devotion that anything, no matter how irrelevant must be seized upon for mockery?

(16,975 posts)even maligning Clinton, and then he gets to bash her again when she responds to his smears. That's just sick!
He doesn't spin his "heroism", doesn't create an enemy, he mentions those who went in, those who sacrificed their health to clean up and look for survivors and that the working together in unity is what we should carry on today remembering and doing.
Not a sensational memory, but a calm and nuanced memory that reveals what he saw, lived through and carries from that day.

(8,352 posts)to deflect from your candidates dumb-ass mistake at least try to do it a little smarter next time.
You are not linking to his Sanders for President campaign site. You are linking to the archives of his Senatorial site.
And this video is about the 10 year anniversary of 9/11 done in 2011.
I suppose Clinton was using it for political gain as well in her speech on 9/11/2011?
