I'm not sure what Willie Horton being black had to do with anything. He committed a horrific crime while on a weekend furlough, even though he'd been convicted of murder and sentenced to life without parole.

If you think the voters' revulsion was propelled by his race, you've been listening to the media narrative on this for too long. I didn't know Willie's race for years. That wasn't the issue.

The issue was: why is a guy serving life without parole allowed out for the weekend?

My husband pardoned sixteen FALN [Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional Puertorriqueña] terrorists at Eric Holder's recommendation. The FBI, Bureau of Prisons, and various law enforcement organizations condemned the pardons. The US Senate passed a resolution of condemnation that got 95 votes. I was Co-President, so I was for the pardons.

Until I ran for Senator in a State where FALN had murdered people. Then, I was against them.

My CoPresidency was only about the good things Bill did. None of the bad things.

So there's nothing like this out there on me.

And... anyway...
