Hillary Clinton gets to make up words and then gets called out on using her own word, 19 years later, and gets interrupted by someone who wants her to apologize for using her own word.
Seriously.
I'm not making this up. Read the article - http://time.com/4238230/hillary-clinton-black-lives-matter-superpredator/. Credit to my Fox News First Daily Politics email for the following high-level description:
“Hillary Clinton apologized on Thursday for remarks she made in a 1996 speech, in which she used the word "superpredators" to describe kids with “no conscience, no empathy” who committed crimes. A Black Lives Matter activist interrupted Clinton at a private event in South Carolina on Wednesday, asking the former Secretary of State to answer for the remarks and apologize to black people for mass incarceration. The activist, Ashley Williams, was escorted from the event after Clinton said she’d never been asked about the speech and would be happy to address it. ‘In that speech, I was talking about the impact violent crime and vicious drug cartels were having on communities across the country and the particular danger they posed to children and families,’ Clinton told the Washington Post on Thursday. ‘Looking back, I shouldn’t have used those words, and I wouldn’t use them today.’”
And should Clinton have said that "kids with no conscience [and] no empathy who committed violent crimes" are awesome role models?
