Hillary Clinton Implies Racism Behind Why GOP Won’t …

Hillary Clinton stepped up her attacks today against Republicans vowing to block whomever President Obama nominates to the Supreme Court, accusing them of racism and bigotry.

The Republicans say theyll reject anyone President Obama nominates no matter how qualified. Some are even saying he doesn't have the right to nominate anyone, as if somehow he's not the real president, Clinton said during remarks at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem, referring to the recent passing of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

You know that's in keeping what we heard all along, isn't it?" she continued. "Many Republicans talk in coded racial language about takers and losers. They demonize President Obama and encourage the ugliest impulses of the paranoid fringe, she continued. This kind of hatred and bigotry has no place in our politics or our country.

"The president has the right to nominate under the Constitution, she added to cheers.

Immediately following the death of Scalia on Saturday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he believed the vacancy should not be filled until after the election, and many other Republicans in Washington and on the campaign trail have echoed the thought.

In the days since, both Clinton and her Democratic presidential opponent Bernie Sanders have blasted Republicans for these remarks.

Clinton continued with that criticism during her speech today in which she addressed systemic racism and proposed a $2 billion plan to reform public schools in low-income areas and end the so-called school-to-prison pipeline. When she came on stage, she was joined by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, his partner Sandra Lee, Rep. Charlie Rangel, N.Y.C. Mayor Bill de Blasio, his wife Chirlane, and former Attorney General Eric Holder.

During the speech she also took veiled swipes at Sanders, who, like Clinton, has been making a last-minute pitch to African-American voters ahead of the South Carolina primary.

You cant just show up in election time and say the right things and think thats enough, Clinton said to applause. We cant start building relationships a few weeks before a vote, we have to demonstrate a sustained commitment to building opportunity, creating prosperity and righting wrongs.

Midway through the speech, Clinton had to take a brief pause as she was overcome by a coughing fit.

The crowd gave her a boost of encouragement as she took a sip of water and opened up a throat lozenge.

Hillary! Hillary! they cheered.

I have too much to say, Clinton joked.

Hillary Clinton CNN Political Ticker – CNN.com Blogs

"It's been seven years, and a lot has changed," Hillary Clinton said Sunday in her first visit to Iowa since the state dealt her presidential campaign a devastating body blow.

But there was a moment in the afternoon when it seemed like not much had.

Roughly 200 credentialed media were gathered in a far corner of the Indianola Balloon Field, the grassy expanse where Sen. Tom Harkin was convening his 37th and final Steak Fry, an annual fundraiser that doubles as a point of entry for ambitious Democrats curious about the Iowa caucuses.

After a 90-minute wait, the press scrum - scribblers and photographers alike - were herded like cattle through a series of gates and escorted up to a hot smoking grill, waiting to capture the same image: a staged shot of Bill and Hillary Clinton, fresh out of their motorcade, ritualistically flipping steaks with Harkin.

The Clintons ignored the half-hearted shouted questions from reporters - "Mr. President, do you eat meat?" - with practiced ease. They were two football fields away from the nearest voter. Mechanical, distant, heavy-handed: The afternoon spectacle felt a lot like Hillary's 2008 caucus campaign, a succession of errors that crumbled under the weight of a feuding top-heavy staff and the candidate's inability to connect with her party's grassroots.

And then the head fake - and something different.

Questions dominated coverage of the incoming first lady in the weeks before the 1993 inauguration. What would Hillary Clinton do as first lady? Would the Yale-trained lawyer have an official position in the new administration? How would she handle the traditional aspects of the first ladys job? Would she permanently alter the role of the first lady? Columnists questioned whether these concerns reflected Americans conflicted feelings about the changing role of women at work and in families. They asked if we should really expect a first lady to be a role model for working women. The questions continued when, the day after the inauguration, the White House announced that Mrs. Clinton would have an office in the West Wing and work on domestic policy issues.

Second only to the favorite speculationwhat kind of president will Bill Clinton make?is the matching question: What kind of first lady will Hillary Clinton make? Christian Science Monitor, December 3, 1992
