Shocker: Hillary apologizes for Robert Kennedy Assassination Comment

What a shock! Hillary apologized.

Hillary Clinton said Friday she regretted comments that evoked the June 1968 assassination of Robert Kennedy as part of her explanation for why she was staying in the presidential race late into the primary season.

“Earlier today, I was discussing the Democratic primary history and in the course of that discussion mentioned the campaigns that both my husband and Senator Kennedy waged in California in June in 1992 and 1968, and I was referencing those to make the point that we have had nominating primary contests that go into June. That’s an historic fact,” she told reporters.

“The Kennedys have been much on my mind in the last days because of Senator [Ted] Kennedy, and I regret that if my referencing that moment of trauma for our entire nation and particularly for the Kennedy family was in any way offensive. I certainly had no intention of that whatsoever,” she added.

Earlier Friday afternoon, she told the editorial board of the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader that “My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it,” complaining that “people have been trying to push me out of this ever since Iowa,” saying that that position “historically… makes no sense.”

Ahhhhhh, the Clinton Cabal.

Has Obama had enough yet? As the Nutroots go wild.
