Uh Oh. How Is Hillary Going to Explain Throwing Bill Under the Bus?

Hillary Clinton is very unhappy about Indiana’s new Religious Freedom Restoration Act and on Thursday, she joined in the histrionics of the angry mobs who were complaining about the horrid, discriminatory law.

 

Sad this new Indiana law can happen in America today. We shouldn't discriminate against ppl bc of who they love #LGBT http://t.co/mDhpS18oEH

But Sean Davis, co-founder of The Federalist, pointed out that it was Hillary’s husband, then-President Clinton, who signed the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act in 1993.

 

I remember when your husband signed the federal version into law. RT @HillaryClinton Sad this new Indiana law can happen in America today.

Davis then noted a whole litany of Bill Clinton policies that Hillary Clinton apparently finds problematic.

 

Hillary's dumped on NAFTA, DOMA, RFRA, welfare reform, balanced budget deal, cap. gains tax cut. Pretty much ever major WJC accomplishment.

With RFRA now under the bus, I have to ask: does @HillaryClinton support a single law her husband signed during his 8 years in the WH?

Just to set the record straight on Indiana’s RFRA, despite Hillary’s hysterics and the shrieks of the mobs calling for a boycott of the entire state (but not the other 30 states that have religious liberty protections), the new law does not actually discriminate against anyone. There’s not one word in the legislation that enshrines discrimination into Indiana law.

Gov. Mike Pence defended the RFRA in a statement after he signed it into law:

This bill is not about discrimination, and if I thought it legalized discrimination in any way in Indiana, I would have vetoed it. In fact, it does not even apply to disputes between private parties unless government action is involved. For more than twenty years, the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act has never undermined our nation’s anti-discrimination laws, and it will not in Indiana.

The RFRA simply provides that state or local governments may not “substantially burden” a person’s right to exercise his religion unless there is a “compelling governmental interest” and the government must use the “least restrictive means” to further that interest. It also provides that a person who believes his religious liberty has been violated by a state or local government action may raise that as a claim or a defense in a judicial proceeding. It doesn’t say who would prevail in that proceeding, only that the individual can have his day in court.

Liberals not being able to discriminate against people of faith is discrimination.

OK.

Well, like I said on an earlier thread today, I think there is a connection between this and her “Tammy Wynette” comment on “60 Minutes” in 1992.

Hillary's actual 1992 statement:

"I'm not sitting here, some little woman standing by my man, like Tammy Wynette."

Of sourse the irony is that when Bill got caught lying under oath and faced the possibility of being thrown out of office, Hillary did exactly what she said she would not do.

She stood by her man.

No one who is railing about the Bill has read it or understands what’s in it.

At best, someone who is against it is an extreme bigot.

Whether it’s her knee-jerk reaction to the unknown, a willful ignorance, or an inability to apply even the most basic levels of logic; Hillary is only showing us once again why she is not fit to hold office.

I don't understand why so many people have a problem with this law. Everyone should have the right to stand on their principals, regardless of whether or not someones feelings are hurt. This law doesn't discriminate against anyone. As a Hoosier I am glad to hear that this law was passed, though it shouldn't have been necessary in the first place. “Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice.” ― Thomas Paine

Her aides work probably send out instructions to various media outlets about he-who-must-not-be-mentioned. And the sad part is that they will comply.
