Clinton pays tribute to black victims – ignores officers killed in line of duty

Just as the original Clinton, Billary is falling in the footsteps. Becoming a cha·me·le·on.... She is bowing down to the African Americans. She is stirring the already burnt pot of soup.

Billary is trying to side with BLM, and in doing so (by highlighting the BLM) she is creating even more hatred and biased based propoganda for her dismally ill followers.

Surely these folks know that she is just acting.... OR maybe not... what say you ATS?

Hillary Clinton paid tribute Saturday during her primary victory rally to the mothers of black victims killed by police and civilians – while ignoring the rising number of police killed by gunfire in the line of duty this year.

The Democratic presidential candidate paused during her speech in Columbia, S.C., to honor the five women, who also campaigned with her across South Carolina before Saturday’s primary.

“They all lost children, which is almost unimaginable, yet they have not been broken or embittered,” Clinton said, adding that they have turned their “mourning into a movement.”

She recited the names of Sybrina Fulton, mother of Trayvon Martin; Gwen Carr, mother of Eric Garner; and the three others.

But she did not mention the rash of police fatalities. So far this year, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, 10 officers have been shot and killed, representing a 900 percent increase in firearms-related officer deaths compared with this time last year.

Most recently, Cpl. Nate Carrigan was fatally shot while serving an eviction notice in Colorado. And on Saturday, three officers reportedly were shot and wounded in Prince William County, Va., outside the nation’s capital.

Recently, six law enforcement officers were killed by gunfire in a period of a single week. Memorial Fund CEO Craig W. Floyd said at the time he “cannot recall any time in recent years” he’s seen so many killed in such a short span of time, calling it a “very troubling trend.” Traffic-related and other officer deaths are down so far this year, but shooting deaths have raised alarm in the law enforcement community.

Doesn't look like she will need to do it, but I am sure if she gets desperate enough, she will try to say she was born in Kenya?

It is called pandering and she probably needs to do it because minorities are her only chance to get elected. She is a disgusting, filthy, vile creature who embodies all of the worst qualities of both politicians and human beings.

Shameless pandering. Hillary couldnt give 2 #s about dead black "children" (most of which are actually physically mature adult males); its all about the votes, and subsequently all about the power.

a reply to: ReadLeader

Her actions and intentions with BLM are shallow and transparent in her bid to solidify the black vote. To sympathize with parents who buried their children is one thing, but using it as political strategy is abhorrent.

One things for sure--her opponent is the only one of the two D's whos idealism spans back to the days of MLK and support of African Americans while risking arrest. That's a claim HRC can't make.

To this specifically: there are a lot of stupid people in the world. Many will buy this wicked persons spiel at face value, and will genuinely wonder what happened in 3 years when nothing they promised came to pass. The REALLY dumb ones will vote them in a SECOND TIME for more of the same.

Hope and Change! Just HOPE hard enough, and the change will follow!

But Id say about 1/2 of the people who buy the spiel, do it because they want it to be true. They know it to be wrong, in that its not sincere, but they go on hope that against all logic and reason and intuition, that the spiel is genuine.

They live deliberately in a delusion... a fantasy of their own making, because the reality of the situation being of course that the politician giving the spiel is a lying piece of # and wont do anything they said they would, is too painful to bear and to come to terms with.

So half are too stupid, and the other half are in denial.

Take your pick of which one individual is which. Maybe many are both.

Personally, I think its extremely disingenuous of you not to mention that Fox news is your source in the OP!

Anyway... so what? She's bringing attention to an important issue.

Is she supposed to read out a list of every injustice that has ever occurred in the history of human kind, before she has the right to show sympathy for the injustice that African Americans face on a daily basis?

Maybe it's just me, but the only True Democrats that signed up for the job, was O'Malley and John Kasich! Kasich is a Republican.

Why Bernie is being allowed to run on the Democratic ticket is beyond me, but that is another story.

Maybe it takes age to realize it, but when the ole Governor of Ohio speaks? It reminds me of how the Democrats used to be?

How is it disingenuous to not mention the source other than link it?

Damn! A simple mouse over would be sufficient to decide whether or not you might need a safe space if you read it.....

WOW!

Once again, we are demonizing her not for what she said, but what she didn't. If she did mention the police officers, you guys would just say she was pandering. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

This is nothing more than a continuation of an on-going soap-opera for political hacks.

You're on a roll today! Kasich presents himself as the centrist Dem of old, at least in my eyes. Like I posted in another thread, this election cycle is the most disjointed that I can recall.

Don't all politicians do this? Depending upon where they need to get their votes, all candidates will pander to a specific group. Just like Trump and Cruz were pandering to get the Evangelical vote. (Neither one comes across as very Christian, lol). Some people just don't care about that.

Politicians are all major BS'ers. It takes an informed voter to see through all their BS. Unfortunately the majority of voters who side with a candidate will take what ever they say at face value. It's ok to side with a particular candidate, but realize not everything they say or do fits everyone's mold when it comes to all the issues.

Rumor has it HC has a illegitimate half black son by hubby Bill. This is delicious even if it is questionable.

duplicate post.

a reply to: ReadLeader

I heard her and couldn't believe my ears when she mentioned treyvon's mother.

Of course they have no idea she is acting. She's playing on their emotions.

She got that out of the way tho and can cross it off her list.
