Clinton Campaign Responds to DAPL Face-Off

“We received a letter today from representatives of the tribes protesting the construction of the Dakota Access pipeline. From the beginning of this campaign, Secretary Clinton has been clear that she thinks all voices should be heard and all views considered in federal infrastructure projects. Now, all of the parties involved—including the federal government, the pipeline company and contractors, the state of North Dakota, and the tribes—need to find a path forward that serves the broadest public interest. As that happens, it's important that on the ground in North Dakota, everyone respects demonstrators' rights to protest peacefully, and workers' rights to do their jobs safely.”

Telling - "the need to find a path forward that serves the broadest public interest"
Does not sound supportive of the Native Americans.

1. Right. Being discussed here:

2. Because it isn't.

It's supporting the pipeline without just coming out and saying it.

3. People have a right to clean fucking water and air.

5. Blah blah blah blah

This is a key matter, and it deserves much more than wishy washy political platitudes.

It requires a strong and principled stance.

6. Yup...

Luckily there are reporters documenting all this on site.

7. Disappointing--

Bernie needs to have a talk with her.

[Duppers]

10. He probably has.

9. You know tha dRumpf has money invested in this pipeline, right?

11. Of the two realistic options, who is going to be more considerate of Natives on this issue?

Trump...who doesn't give a flying fart about anyone than himself and who stands to profit from the pipeline and is a strong supporter of fracking or Clinton who at least believes in Climate Change and clean energy?

Sorry, but to me the choice is very clear.

12. Puzzling

Clinton has been a supporter of fracking, and this is fracked oil, so what makes you think she will stop the pipeline.
She also receives a ton of money from oil companies.
Her statement that we need "to find a path forward that serves the broadest public interest" is not reassuring.
I am curious how you think she is supportive of the Natives.
Her response was intentionally vague, it shouldn't be.
