NEW YORK (Reuters) - Bill Clinton angrily told Black Lives Matter protesters that they "are defending the people who kill the lives you say matter," prompting criticism from black voters whose support Hillary Clinton is counting on in her quest for the presidency.
The former president spent more than 10 minutes facing down the protesters at a campaign rally in Philadelphia for his wife over the criticisms that a 1994 crime bill he approved while president led to a surge in the imprisonment of black people.
The Democratic race has become increasingly heated in recent days as Hillary Clinton, stung by a string of losses in state nominating contests, has traded barbs with her rival for the nomination, Bernie Sanders, over who is more prepared for the White House.

Richard Pryor: “Thank *God* we got penitentiaries !”
Well,it’s out there now.
Biting my tongue... biting my tongue.
Must resist making a “Monica” joke every time this guy shows his face.
At least Slick has pushed back even though the journalists gave it a dishonest headline compared to yours.
awww, the Frankenstein monster the Dems created is getting of the reservation? Blacks not happy with how the plantation owners are treating them?
Don’t BLM know who feeds them and clothes them?
Ungrateful...

Bill Clinton confronts protesters who say his crime reforms hurt blacks
As usual for the GD Clintons, they never forget ANYTHING that worked for them before, no matter how contrived and hackneyed.
This is a complete set-up, nothing but an attempt for another “Sista Soulja” moment for the Clintons.
It worked for Bill 25 years+ ago, it’ll work for the Hildabeast now, at least that’s their plan.
The mainstream media will gush at how courageous the Clintons are to stand up to naughty people even if they’re black... because the Clintons see no color as we all know... oops, well except when Bill was quoted saying that a few years earlier, Obama would have been bringing them their coffee... and countless other statements showing their true feelings.
It's a "Sista Souljah Moment By Proxy."
To #5. Re “Well, it’s out there now”.
I thought Monica Lewinsky said that. My bad.
None of these articles ever mentions the huge decline in the crime rate over the past 20 years
