We have an obligation to call out and condemn racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and Islamophobia.

Thank you Hillary!

10. Trump was funny last year when he came down the escalator

2. Few people have had as much pressure put upon them before a presidential election.

Think about this: Hillary Clinton is the only person standing between Donald Trump and the White House...

In its own way, it is historical.

11. she's the only thing standing between freedom and fascism

Americans should be terrified.

3. The Courage of Hillary Clinton Shines Through as She Stands By a Truth About Trump Supporters

By Sarah Jones on Sat, Sep 10th, 2016

In Hillary Clinton, we have a warrior of fierce courage who believes deeply in social justice for all. Hillary Clinton won’t look the other way as others are mistreated. She gets right in the mess and takes a stand.

Although Hillary Clinton is running against a man who casts himself as the ultimate alpha male hero, capable of striking down enemies with mere words, it is Hillary Clinton who brings the towering strength of courage to the stage.

Thus we find Clinton in the middle of a media storm for saying that half of Donald Trump’s supporters are a basket of deplorables. “You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up,” Clinton told a crowd Friday.

--snip--

“Last night I was ‘grossly generalistic,’ and that’s never a good idea. I regret saying ‘half’ — that was wrong,” Clinton said in a statement.

“But let’s be clear, what’s really ‘deplorable’ is that Donald Trump hired a major advocate for the so-called ‘alt-right’ movement to run his campaign and that David Duke and other white supremacists see him as a champion of their values.”

“It’s deplorable that Trump has built his campaign largely on prejudice and paranoia and given a national platform to hateful views and voices, including by retweeting fringe bigots with a few dozen followers and spreading their message to 11 million people.”

It's more than half.

5. Thanks for posting both of those quotes

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was one of the "quiet" heroes of WWll.

We should be posting this on Facebook and all social media.

8. "We should be posting this on Facebook and all social media"

yep, let's not back down.

To those who say "How dare she?" we must reply, "We will not remain silent!"

We're calling out their hate and bigotry.

6. Silence means consent

Thank you HRC for saying what needs to be said.

[napkinz]

9. the media could learn something from Hillary

The media have been silent. They have given him a free pass when they should have been calling him out on his racism, his sexism, his Islamophobia. They have failed to hold him to account.

Shame on them.
