       I like hillary clinton. I voted for herbut y'all need to STOP gaslighting people who weren't into a white lady who used to pal around with Trump, who literally said "all lives matter," who was so politically inept as to call people who might vote for her deplorable, who HAD NO TROUBLE IMPLYING OBAMAS assassination when it suited herAgain I would STILL absolutely take her as President. But she was *deeply* flawed in ways y'all can't just call "sexism"#blackmastodon #blackfedi #uspol

       @jrm4 I pass no judgment whatsoever on your overall assessment of Hillary Clinton, but I think some context is in order on her "deplorables" comment. The press savagely smeared her by  reporting her remarks as the opposite of what she really said.Contrary to how the press reported it, it was a conciliatory speech. She said "those [Trump supporters] are people we have to understand and empathize with as well."A full transcript of the speech is here: https://time.com/4486502/hillary-clinton-basket-of-deplorables-transcript/ #USPol
