Hilary's BLM response, "I've never been asked that before." No script=no answer [View all]

Like with everything unscripted with her, she can't answer until her advisors, focus group and attorney craft a response.

It was this way when the first questions with the private server were asked.

It was this way with the release of the transcript request.

Here, the young woman asked simply if black peoples were owed an apology. Hillary could not answer, not without her minders.

"back to the issues that are important" = black lives don't matter Betty Karlson Feb 2016 #62

This has been my impression. She is good at memorizing and playing back. merrily Feb 2016 #5

Of course not. TheUndecider Feb 2016 #8
