Hillary Clinton ?@HillaryClinton now40 seconds ago
Tonight I am praying for peace & safety for all in Baltimore, & for Freddie Gray's family - his death is a tragedy that demands answers.

(46,672 posts)I think the Clintons support progressive, social causes if there is strong public demand. Which means, do not underestimate the impact of the protests. We will need solid leaders to emerge from these firestorms to ride front and help maintain the momentum.

(146,248 posts)Since Hillary Clinton is not in any office that can force anyone to provide answers, what exactly did you want her to say?
Your statement is ugly, cynical and accusative. Maybe you didn't mean it that way. If so, you can still edit or self-delete your post.

(3,747 posts)Though I disagree with prayer. Thoughtful and strong.
I will be interested to hear how she plans to address the systemic oppression and abuse of PoC in this country, as well as the drug war, prison industry, and educational system.

(3,163 posts)That response is utter bullshit. It says nothing. It is political twaddle.
Compare that to what John Angelos of the Baltimore Orioles said:

As Rachel said a week ago, if Hillary came out with the cure for cancer there would be some who would criticize her.

(12,296 posts)I don't care what you pray for in private, or if you never pray for anything, but I don't want to hear about it.
You're a civic leader, not a nun. Not the Pope.
Ugh this pandering from all candidates on all sides to the religiously insane is making me want the revolution to start already.
Enough of this "we're holier than you are" shit.
Just. Enough.
