Trump was never mentioned in the statement itself. And unlike some of Trump’s Republican rivals, who laid the blame for inciting violence squarely on his shoulders, Clinton avoided addressing Trump’s role at all.

The decision left some puzzled.

“Problematic use of Charleston. Why is racial healing always dependent on black forgiveness?” noted Chad Williams, chair of African and Afro-American studies at Brandeis University.

Goldie Taylor, editor-at-large at the Daily Beast, also took issue with the statement.

“Refusing to directly call out Trump is a problem,” she said.

“Clinton’s response seems more concerned about the fact that protesters fought back than with the racism and nativism of Trump’s rallies,” added Eddie S. Glaude Jr., a professor of African American studies at Princeton University.

Supposedly it was Bernie's people doin' the disruptin' -- but I think it was Hillary's people pullin' the strings behind the curtain!

How so?  I'm asking a legitimate question, not starting a fight.

Interesting logic that decides the people being assaulted for exercising their rights are thugs but those committing assault are upstanding citizens. How does that work?

Democrats conceive of "hate speech" as anything that does not exactly comport with their hyper-PC view of the world, especially the hallowed notion of white guilt.

Smug liberal trying to blow Marxist smoke up everybodys butt. Liberals just love blow and get blown back. Trump is going to crush Clinton and all this phony racist smear campaign is going to do is make Trump even stronger.

The phony "Republicans are racist" is all the democrats have. How barren is that?

The protesters who were there were chanting Black Lives Matter. These are thugs sent in by Hillary and Bill. They are paid protesters specifically bussed in to cause trouble. Some of them chanted the name Bernie. That was a cover up to show that Hillary was not involved in that protest. But Hillary's words and actions after the protest and her tweets show that she was chuckling away sitting in her room and watching the protest on TV. She knows the thugs sent in by Bill and the Clinton Foundation were successful in disrupting the rally.
