...and poured it over her. Very bad 'optics,' as they say. Or not, depending on who you're trying to impress with the melted gold look.
Which brings me to the main show, this extraordinary racist joke shared by the mayor of New York and Hillary Clinton.
My first thought was, WHY would Hillary Clinton deliberately insult the one demographic group that gave her her current lead in the delegate count, in the southern states, and that has stuck with her in (to me) inexplicable numbers--African Americans--(except for young AA's who are now voting for Sanders)?
Combined with Bill's rant and finger pointing the other day at BLM activists, I have been truly bewildered by their insults. Why?
The only thing I can think of is they know the fix is in, and they are parading their invincibility by trashing their supporters. 'Take that, you suckers! We don't need to care!'
Let's hope that it's hubris.
