Hillary Clinton Used Black Prison Labor While First Lady of Arkansas

Full title: Twitter Erupts Over News That Hillary Clinton Used Black Prison Labor While First Lady of Arkansas

Twitter users have reacted with surprise and fury over excerpts from Hillary Clinton’s 1996 book It Takes A Village. On June 6, Jeanette Jing, an activist with over 33,000 followers on Twitter who supports Clinton's Democratic opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders, shared two pages of the work in which Clinton reminisces about the black prisoners who worked in the Arkansas governor’s mansion she shared with her husband, Bill Clinton, who led the state from 1979 to 1981 and 1983 to 1992.

“When we moved in, I was told that using prison labor at the governor’s mansion was a longstanding tradition, which kept down costs,” Clinton writes. She adds that most of the workers were convicted murderers and she became friendly with “a few of them, African-American men in their thirties who had already served 12 to 18 years of their sentences.”

Despite her alleged friendships with these men, Clinton tells her readers: “We enforced rules strictly and sent back to prison any inmate who broke a rule.” Despite having no psychological qualifications, she later asserts that these men did not have “inferior IQs or an inability to apply moral reasoning” but instead they may have been “emotional illiterates.”

In her book, Clinton tried to soften the reality of unpaid black men serving a wealthy white woman.

LOL - ummm unless these 'unpaid black men' were paying for their room and board at their local prisons I have zero pity for them. Free room and board IS their pay... or better,they should start paying taxpayers back when they get out.

Sick of these types dumping expenses on innocent taxpayers.

Hillary is being forced to retire by the DNC.
Other than the NeverTrump idiots, the GOP would love to have her stay in there.

Sucks up all the $$$ from other possible candidates.

There are a great many statements that Hillary used the “N” word often. Any other politician or notable person would have been vilified and destroyed long ago.

Absolutely. They know that if she is the nominee in 2020, Trump is a lock for re-election.

Of course, which dem is that NOT true about?

His mom was a whore, Bill would visit quite often, well known to the cook, gardener and others that worked there who she was and when he would visit her...

Did they also keep track of Web Hubbell's visits to Hillary?
