Can’t wait to get a transcript of her speech! I heard her say something about...’WHEN YOU SEE THEM WITH TORCHES IN THE WOODS’...
WTH??
Was I hearing it wrong?

I think she was talking about the slave hunters who were pursuing the slaves with torches coming through the woods.

WHEN YOU SEE THEM WITH TORCHES IN THE WOODS’... WTH?? Was I hearing it wrong? She was quoting Harriet Tubman and the underground railroad.

"Was I hearing it wrong?"
It was nice to see she finally figured out who Harriet Tubman was. Back when she was running for her first term of Senator, she made a gaffe and mistakenly spoke of Sojourner Truth leading slaves to freedom on the Underground Railroad.

She was talking about Harriet Tubbs .. and black women back then .. running away from danger, I presume.
