Except that, once again, they are NOT taking "it to mean;" they are being lied to about what she said, so they are taking what Republicans and certain members of the media say she means.
lots of them just don't like Sanders then it's a case of her not understanding the electorate.
Once again, she was not talking about the electorate. You are blaming her for someone else deliberately misconstruing her comment and then blaming her
again for "plain folk" believing the secondary person over her own words.
Just like her "deplorables" faux pas
Which wasn't until OTHERS deliberately took it out of context. Once again, you are blaming
her for someone else deliberately taking her words out of context in order to tar her and then blaming her
again for "plain folk" only listening to the tar.
or what she said about her plan to put lots of coal miners out of a job.
Which, again, she never said. What she
ACTUALLY SAID was (emphasis mine):
MARTIN: Make the case to poor whites who live in Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, who vote Republican, why they should vote for you based upon economic policies versus voting for a Republican?
CLINTON: Well, first of all, I was happy to carry those states you mentioned, and I carried the white vote in those states too, that voted Democratic now, I don’t want to get carried away here.
Look, we have serious economic problems in many parts of our country. And Roland is absolutely right. Instead of dividing people the way Donald Trump does, let’s reunite around policies that will bring jobs and opportunities to all these underserved poor communities.
So for example, I’m the only candidate which has a policy about how to bring economic opportunity using clean renewable energy as the key into coal country. Because we’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business, right, Tim (ph)? And we’re going to make it clear that we don’t want to forget those people. Those people labored in those mines for generations, losing their health, often losing their lives to turn on our lights and power our factories.
Now we’ve got to move away from coal and all the other fossil fuels, but I don’t want to move away from the people who did the best they could to produce the energy that we relied on. So whether it’s coal country or Indian country or poor urban areas, there is a lot of poverty in America. We have gone backwards. We were moving in the right direction. In the ’90s more people were lifted out of poverty than any time in recent history.
Because of the terrible economic policies of the Bush administration, President Obama was left with the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, and people fell back into poverty because they lost jobs, they lost homes, they lost opportunities, and hope.
So I am passionate about this, which is why I have put forward specific plans about how we incentivize more jobs, more investment in poor communities, and put people to work.
Ironically, because she spoke the truth--and was honest about what needs to happen--her detractors pounced on that one phrase and changed a plan to put everyone to work--including coal miners--into a "plan to put lots of coal miners out of a job."
There seems to be a pattern there.
Very clearly! Detractors are deliberately misconstruing what she actually said in order to turn her positive, progressive statements into something she never advocated.
And people resent being told what they think.
Evidently only
after they have literally been told what they think. Irony has no bounds.
