“We have to bring them to heel”: Watch a decade of Hillary Clinton’s shameful hypocrisy on racism

Published

Black Lives Matter activist Ashley Williams interrupted Hillary Clinton at a private fundraiser in South Carolina mansion accusing the candidate of hypocrisy on race and holding a sign that read “We have to bring them to heel” — in reference to a line from Clinton’s 1994 “super-predator” speech.

And Williams was exactly right.

Watch our roundup of more than ten years of Clinton’s hypocrisy on racism.
