If the funeral remarks were NOT a big deal, there wouldn't be so much defensiveness,
That is apparent.
Ouch. This hurts big time for Hillary and in so many ways. Let's name a few:
1. She is supposedly a big advocate for LGBT so it is a smack in the face and a reminder that she didn't get on that bandwagon until it was almost out of sight.
2. It cements people's vision of her as having a serious problem with not telling the truth.
3. She's already been knocked back on her heels and this is terrible timing. It sure as hell isn't going to win her any votes in the gay community.
