Hillary Clinton Won’t Say Whether She Backs Death Penalty For Dylann Roof
Huffington Post ^ | May 31, 2016

Posted on 05/31/2016 3:59:04 PM PDT by SMGFan

For nearly a week now, Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign has refused to answer a simple yes or no question: whether she favors the Department of Justice’s decision to seek the death penalty for Dylann Roof, who is accused of killing nine people last year at a historically black church in Charleston, South Carolina.

After she’s thought about it, and focus grouped several answers, she’ll have a response. Clinton is a very slow moving target, and does not do well when actually surprised with a question. That’s why I really believe that she gets the questions in advance when she does her rare interviews.

Can anyone really picture Clinton standing there and handing a 40+ minute press conference like Trump does on a regular basis? The only way she’d do that is if there are a fully scripted press corps pretending to actually ask her questions.

Has she answered anything else since she’s been running?

You either support or oppose the death penalty. If you oppose the death penalty, then no criminal should be executed, including Roof. If you support the death penalty, Roof would be one of the first to hang.

All Hillary supports is Hillary, and so the only answer that matters to her is the answer that will help her campaign. Bernie says what he thinks, and means what he says—he is a complete idiot, but he is not Hillary. If they were the ONLY two choices for President, I would be less opposed to Bernie, because he and his supporters could be opposed face to face, while Hillary as President will establish the American Stasi to force support for whatever she chooses to support regardless, and that will be the end of America.

I just want to hear one brave reporter ask her if other Secretaries of State had their own private server in their home when she claims others used private email accounts.

That would be enough to make her hack like a dog yakkin’ on a bone and give an excuse for her to end the interview/presser without answering.

The Rats always have a fully briefed press corps covering for them.

I currently support the death penalty, but I’ll make a trade with liberals:
I’ll agree to ban the death penalty if liberals will agree to ban abortion.

She would appoint Supreme Court justices who would find that the Constitution bans the death penalty.

If she opposed the death penalty for all cases then she should be able to say that, instantly.

If the death penalty is permissible at all, then obviously Dylan Roof should be a top candidate for the death penalty. She should be able to say that, instantly.

Therefore, she is proving again to be a dishonest, sniveling, focus-group driven political hack.

It's fun watching liberals like Hillary freeze up and start sputtering when forced to choose between two of their contradictory beliefs. It's like asking a computer to divide by zero. Another ongoing example is the contradiction in their assertion that gender is subjective while race is not. That failure to compute produced their curious paralysis in responding to Rachel Dolezal, the fake black woman.

If libs weren't so dangerous their antics would be endlessly entertaining.

Sorry, had one more thought: When they freeze up upon realizing that they are facing two contradictory choices, I imagine them being like Nomad on the original Star Trek series, rattling and buzzing while saying “Error....faulty....must not offend.”

Let’s ask Dylann if he supports the death penalty for Hillary’s treasonous acts!

Does that mean 0bama is from the episode about the broken Voyager probe and he clunks around the WH saying “Valjar! Valjar!?”
