Hillary Dismisses Core Constituent

Hillary Clinton doesn't do unrehearsed. The former First Lady has shied away from press conferences for months now, and avoided situations where she doesn't have absolute control of anyone and everyone in the room. Today, her plan to remain anonymous while running for president backfired, and we were all reminded why she rarely speaks off the cuff. As the Free Beacon notes:

Hillary Clinton had a tense confrontation with a young Somali-American woman in Minnesota Tuesday over her checkered past on racial issues.

The woman greeted Clinton and then brought up the “super-predator” remarks she made in the 1990s in support of a tough federal crime bill that Black Lives Matter protesters have deemed overly harsh on minorities.

A protester interrupted a private fundraiser to confront Clinton about the same comment last week.

This time, the conversation was more in the open.

“Well first of all, that comment was made one time,” Clinton said. “I’ve always been in favor of young people [getting more] opportunities.”
