This in just now — #BlackLivesMatter activists were at a Bill Clinton rally in Philadelphia, and in response to their protests about the crime bill expanding the prison population, Bill Clinton said, “Black Lives Matters are defending the people who kill the lives you say matter,” and also said in defense of the crime bill that “Drug dealers gave crack to 13 yr olds so they could go out and murder other African Americans.” He also had this to say, “I’ll tell you another story about a place where black lives matter: Africa.”
So Bill Clinton no longer regrets passing the crime bill, and now actively defends it using the tropes of super predators and black-on-black crime. Here’s the video of Bill Clinton responding to #BlackLivesMatter protestors:
