Hmm... so who was the unidentified colleague?

[ucrdem]

And who filmed the SC event and posted it onto Huffpo and the rest of the Twittersphere, three days before the SC primary? And who paid the $500.00 admission?

Williams said she and a colleague, whom she did not identify, contributed $500 to attend the Clinton event, which was held at a private residence and was attended by around 100 guests.

Williams said she and her colleague strategically placed themselves at the front of the crowd and waited until Clinton appeared. Speakers introducing Clinton around 9:30 p.m. Wednesday night discussed Walter Scott, the Charleston A.M.E. Church shooting and how Clinton had a strong record of racial justice.

Which is to say that whatever political merit tonight's confrontation might have had is greatly diminished if not defeated by its rather conspicuous appearance as a partisan political stunt.

[morningfog]

1. What evidence is there of a partisan political stunt?

[grasswire]

2. the colleague no doubt took the video

Are you saying that young black women aren't able to construct a protest by themselves?

[morningfog]

3. Or come up with $1000 apparently.

This OP kind of smells.

[DUbeornot2be]

18. The woman...

...in the red dress also seems to be recording...

[arcane1]

4. Questioning their motives is "racist" when they protest Sanders.

Funny how that works.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. I see, testing talking points

LMAO

[enigmatic]

6. Please, go ahead and attack those BLM activists

Do it here on DU, and on Social Media.

Go right ahead.

See how far this gets you.

[Lucinda]

7. I can't get any of the video to play. Is there a transcript?

[morningfog]

10. Looking into it.

[Lucinda]

12. Thankie!

I looked, no luck yet.

[DUbeornot2be]

19. The...

...woman in the red dress with the phone in her hand is typing it up...

[Joe the Revelator]

28. Perfect

[Matariki]

8. That's the ticket. Nice deflection!

Do you think it will work?

[dchill]

11. ‘super-predators’...

"super-delegates"

Who will prevail?

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. I see you are not alone

talking point sightings reported in the wild

@keikoty45 I've seen the first attempt. Implying it was a partisan political stunt on the part of her opponent. #whichhillary

[TheLogicalSong]

14. A real person of color with real concerns about a presidential candidate...

Walked into that Downton Abbey event and confronted them through much pearl-clutching, hissing, and gnashing of teeth.



That's all there is to the story.

Don't embarrass yourself.

[Jitter65]

21. Do you even know what they were discussing at this event? nt

[Le Taz Hot]

24. Shall we play "Where's Waldo?"

Those faces look mighty white to me.

[oasis]

15. If this "super predator" thing had any substance, we would have been

treated to it long before now.

[Jitter65]

22. Out of context stuff always sounds worse than it is. I suggest you read the entire statement. nt

[Marr]

16. I was wondering which of you would attack BLM first. /nt

[TheFarS1de]

17. Where ever did they get the $500 ?

Maybe they paid for it themselves , what are you implying ? That she couldn't afford a $500 ticket ? Why would that be , please elaborate .

[Betty Karlson]

20. That is so disrespectful to BLM.

Look at how Sanders responded to an interruption by BLM. That's how to deal with frustration boiling over among those who have been marginalised by the status quo. His reaction is the example. Clinton's reaction: just showing her character (let me answer your question after I have consulted a poll or a focus group, and now I will ignore you).

[JI7]

23. blm said they are protesting everyone, you are going to go to conspiracy route ?

who cares who paid for it ? there was nothing wrong with the questions being asked.

[PatrickforO]

25. Nonsense.

If I go to an event and see something I think wrong, I'm darned well going to comment.

[islandmkl]

26. am I reading this correctly? are you asking, without the balls to say it:

"Where did two black girls get $1,000?"

I would like to think you aren't even slightly touching that base...but you should elaborate...

[restorefreedom]

27. sounds like it to me. nt

[boston bean]

29. This is no biggie. People get to say how they feel to politicians.

I say, let everyone have their say on issues that matter to them.
