Over the weekend, potential 2020 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton made a statement that would have gotten any Republican inundated with accusations of racism.
According to The Hill, Recode’s Kara Swisher asked Clinton during a Q&A session, “What do you think of Cory Booker … saying, ‘Kick them in the shins’?”
It was actually former Attorney General Eric Holder who made the statement, as we reported here. Clinton corrected Swisher, but it was her follow-up statement which raised eyebrows.
“I know they all look alike,” she said, prompting laughter from the audience.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
“No, they don’t,” Swisher said, adding: “Oh, well done.”
The Hill added:
Holder and Booker are both black men.
Clinton during the back-and-forth also said she believes “what’s often called political correctness is politeness.”
“It’s respecting the diversity that we have in our society,” she continued. “The Democratic Party is a much more diverse political party, attracting people who are African-American, Latino, LGBT … And I don’t think it’s politically correct to say, we value that.”
“I don’t want to go around insulting people, painting people with a broad brush,” she said. “That’s childish.”
Unless, of course, they happen to support Donald Trump — then they’re “deplorable.”
Naturally, her statement, which was seen as a “joke” by the mainstream media, didn’t sit too well with many.

Seriously, imagine if anyone that the left deemed 'bad people' said something like this, MSNBC would have had a panel of 5 black people talking about it for a special two hour segment.
As a black man who remembers when she called us 'super predators', it's really sad.

No doubt…
Yes, I know the media would go into a thermonuclear meltdown if Trump said it but I think there was zero malice in this. Hillary was being funny. That’s still allowed…except on @TheSimpsons https://t.co/Vn8kgQQaL7

Here’s video of her statement:
Of course, being a Democrat, Clinton — the most evil person ever nominated to the White House by a major party — will get a pass for this.
