The Clinton Dynasty Rewrites History



Hillary Clinton played a central role in the presidential administration that kicked the era of mass incarceration into overdrive - and now she wants us to believe that she and Bill have had a change of heart and want to end the worst abuses of the system.

She played a central role in winning support for President Bill Clinton's two crime bills in 1994 and 1996 - Rep. Bernie Sanders supported the first of them, by the way - that required mandatory sentencing guidelines, accelerated spending on prisons and put more police on the streets. In 1994, Hillary Clinton told a room of police officers: "We will be able to say, loudly and clearly, that for repeat, violent, criminal offenders - three strikes and you're out. We are tired of putting you back in through the revolving door."

So Hillary Clinton plays a central role in the presidential administration that kicked the era of mass incarceration into overdrive - and now she wants us to believe that she and Bill have had a change of heart and want to end the worst abuses of the system.

The modus operandi of the Clinton dynasty has been the same for decades: Mouth liberal rhetoric during the party primaries, while actually standing for policies and politics that fall far short of the talk.
