Bill Clinton helps Bernie - Doubles down on Hill's "Super Predators" comment and disrespects BLM

Opens mouth, inserts foot - he was soooo rude. I still can't believe I use to love the Clintons. Their true colors have shown through this election cycle - ARROGANT, DISMISSIVE AND RUDE. He wants them to "hush", but they won't, so he insinuates they're liars...because they won't "hush." Her campaign is IMPLODING - AGAIN!
There's a video posted at Reddit.

Activists. Symone Sanders Tweets -


#WeWontHushSymone D. Sanders (Bernie's Press Secretary) on Twitter: "Unbelievable. Bill Clinton just doubled down on Secretary Clinton's superpredator comments. https://t.co/tIf4DsgbiX" twitter.com

Well this was pretty bad


“Here’s the thing. I like protestors, but the ones that won’t let you answer are afraid of the truth.”

“Hillary spent her time trying to get healthcare for poor kids—and who were they? Their lives 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.”

“You are defending the people who killed the lives you say matter. Tell the truth.”

“The reason they know it’s true is [the protestors] won’t hush. When somebody won’t hush and listen to you, that ain’t democracy. They’re afraid of the truth. Don’t you be afraid of the truth.”

“I’ll tell you another story about a place where black lives matter: Africa.”

I can't wait to see what Michelle Alexander says about this

This is baaaaaaad.

He'll never learn to bite his tongue and just keep his mouth shut.

From watching the video, I think that Reddit transcript is just a partial transcript. He was so freakin rude and arrogant.

Can you imagine what the Hillpack would have said if BERNIE treated BLM like that?

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

“I’ll tell you another story about a place where black lives matter: Africa.”


I mean, I don't even.... Is he referencing his foundations work in Africa? Or is there some other meaning that I'm missing? What a weird thing to say to a bunch of black people. smh

Bill is just a right wing source and is in no way able to officially prove what Hillary said was racist. I bet you got this from breitbart or usuncut!!

That all the Clintonites will try and parse this to the Nth degree, but everyone needs to ask themselves what they - and the media - would say if Bernie had just said this...
