…or is Hillary starting to turn into a real BITCH?
(CNN) — Hillary Clinton criticized Barack Obama at Tuesday night’s debate for not directly rejecting the support of Louis Farrakhan.
“There’s a difference between denouncing and rejecting,” Clinton said. “And I think when it comes to this sort of, you know, inflammatory — I have no doubt that everything that Barack just said is absolutely sincere. But I just think, we’ve got to be even stronger. We cannot let anyone in any way say these things because of the implications that they have, which can be so far reaching.”
Farrakhan, the head of the Nation of Islam, recently made positive statements about Obama’s candidacy. The controversial leader has made many remarks that have been deemed anti-Semitic, including calling Judaism a “gutter religion.” Asked tonight if he accepted Farrakhan’s endorsement, Obama denounced those statements.
“I obviously can’t censor him, but it is not support that I sought,” Obama said. “And we’re not doing anything, I assure you, formally or informally with Minister Farrakhan.”
