Did you know Michelle Alexander's husband prosecutes people under the laws she blames Clintons for?

Her husband, Carter Stewart, is the U.S Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio. He was apponted by President Obama in 2009.

This must make for interesting dinner table conversation ...

I have to separate their work. She's not responsible for him - he's not responsible for her.

Which makes it all the more ironic that Alexander is holding Hillary Clinton responsible for Bill Clinton's policies ...

But no one forced him to become a prosecutor - he made a choice to participate in this system that many feel oppresses black people, especially black men, a system his wife condemns.
