(50,254 posts)Criticism of a leader of a freedom struggle is not an attack on the community seeking freedom.
Leaders are just people.

(20,453 posts)Or, did I mis-interpret you? Do you mean, "keep it up, Clintons!"???
How could anyone continue to run a campaign like that?

(54,770 posts)misunderstood the exact words. But the rabid white folks were yelling when she was just trying to help.

Too bad. It's true.
Too bad that the Clintons are running this type of a campaign.

(20,453 posts)Maybe not everyone, but some people, it seems, have a price to go along to get along. That sounds like their 50 state strategy. I haven't a clue as to Delores Huerta's motivation, but I sincerely hope it is not to simply get along.
In fact, you won't see me bashing people like Delores Huerta personally. I don't know her. However, I know what snakes are in charge of the Clinton campaign and what LACK of integrity is going on in this race. They use people like Delores Hureta as needed.
It's all this, and the false narrative about what they have done for African Americans that should make everyone wake the hell up.
Huerta is just the latest to get used. Sure, they "respect" her... about as much as they respect anyone who will help her win with all the money coming in before larger favors are repaid.
They should be making every effort to respect the process of this race, but they can't. So, they use up people and tip the scales up through the money lenders, meanwhile.
What integrity.

(29,205 posts)into this argument? Are you saying that someone who is 85 can't tell when people are shouting "no" from the floor of an auditorium (and not in her face) and is confused enough to later state that they were shouting "English Only" at her?
Seriously?
Not to mention that this particular 85 year old has spent a lifetime dealing with "rabid white people" some of who ACTUALLY broke her ribs while they were shouting at her.
I'm pretty sure she wasn't confused about what was going on.
She may have been trying to help at the time... her actions AT THE EVENT are not in question or dispute... it's the interview and tweets later that have caused the problem. She lied about what happened.
