Hillary Clinton Calls Jeb Bushs Free Stuff Comment Deeply Insulting
Hillary Rodham Clinton unloaded on Jeb Bush on Monday, calling it deeply insulting that he had suggested that Democratic presidential candidates had tried to appeal to black voters by offering free stuff.
In a question-and-answer session on Facebook, Mrs. Clinton lumped Mr. Bush together with Donald J. Trump and Mitt Romney, who made a similar suggestion in 2012, and said that Republicans have been missing the point when it comes to appealing to black voters.
I think people are seeing this for what it is: Republicans lecturing people of color instead of offering real solutions to help people get ahead, including facing up to hard truths about race and justice in America, Mrs. Clinton said.
The discussion started last week when Mr. Bush was asked about his approach to courting black voters. Our message is one of hope and aspiration, Mr. Bush said then. It isnt one of division and get in line and well take care of you with free stuff. Our message is one that is uplifting that says you can achieve earned success..................
