Hillary's long list of racist comments should disqualify her from the Democratic nomination [View all]

Sometimes it seems Hillary is trying to out-Trump Trump over who can be more politically incorrect.

A racial joke about Indian Americans working at gas stations. Very funny?

Super-Predators. Got to bring them to heel.

Casual racist comment toward Native Americans: She can handle men who get "off the reservation". So very casual it's clearly the way she thinks, it runs very deep.

Calling undocumented people "illegal". Throws in sterotypes of foreigners hanging out on the corner waiting to do "yard work" etc. These comments are Widely understood to be offensive toward Latinos. Hillary has since apologized and promised to stop talking like this.

Speaking of Iraqi Arabs as if they are children who need to learn we're only doing them a favor.

Joining in with a scripted racial joke about Colored People Time

Is there any race or ethnic group Hillary Clinton hasn't had to apologize to? Somebody should make a checklist on which of these comments she has already apologized for and which ones we are still waiting for an apology.

This is garbage. Not at all presidential. This list is just another reason Hillary Clinton ought to be disqualified from the Democratic nomination.
