Will Clinton’s Kennedy Remarks hurt her Presidential bid?
Putting her best efforts to stay in the US Presidential election, Hillary Clinton screwed up her words when she linked Kennedy’s assassination type of thing could happen to Obama, thus justifying her stay in the race.
Hillary Clinton today cited the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy during the 1968 presidential campaign to explain why she was remaining in the race despite long odds.
“We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California,” Clinton told the editorial board of a South Dakota newspaper. ” I don’t understand it,” Clinton added, alluding to the calls for her to quit.
Clinton made the statement after pointing out that her husband didn’t lock up the nomination until June of 1992, trying to point out that, by past history, it’s not late in the campaign.
But Barack Obama received Secret Service protection one year ago this month, the earliest ever in presidential history, after reports of threats.
Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement: “Sen. Clinton’s statement before the Argus Leader editorial board was unfortunate and has no place in this campaign.”
Do you think this speech of Clinton could damage her campaign?. Comments welcome!
