Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Saturday that he thought Bill Clinton should apologize for what he said to the Black Lives Matter protesters that interrupted his campaign event for rival Hillary Clinton.

Clinton defended his wife and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton used years ago — calling some children from crime-ridden communities “superpredators.”

Clinton herself said she wouldn’t use those words today.

“I think the president owes the American people an apology for trying to defend what’s indefensible,” Sanders told a crowd gathered in Harlem.

  1. Sanders is never going to carry Harlem. He should get his ass upstate – to Poughkeepsie and Utica and Buffalo.

  2. Getting tired of Sanders demanding apologies while never doing so himself.

    Whose hearts Hillary won as Senator. The man is really getting ugly. Remember when HIS response to BLM was “ALL lives matter”–then he had to do backflips to try to appease them?

    And how about he apologize to the parents of the Sandy Hook children? or the Mexicans pursued by his darling armed Militiamen? or the “victims” of the very crime bill BLM was yelling at Bill about and that Bernie voted for? he really really thinks black people and the majority of Democrats are dumb as rocks.

    He’s drunk with false hopes and fantasy power. Can’t wait to see him in the rear mirror.

  4. I agree that there are some parts that he could carry hands down. Why he’s focusing on Kings County (i.e. Brooklyn) is beyond me.

    Yes, he’s strange. He might carry the duckhunters upstate, but even then Hillary’s and Obama’s policies have made a pretty big economic difference to some of those places, too.

    Someone wrote elsewhere that he has ‘white liberal voters’–in states like WY and AK and VT–the total number of which in the context of the general election is pretty miniscule.
