[Daily Caller] During a question and answer session at a campaign stop in West Columbia, S.C. on Thursday, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton declined to reprimand an audience member who asserted that Israel is an apartheid state.
Cognizant of her audience was she ?
The questioner, who was one of about 400 people in attendance at Brookland Baptist Church, asked Clinton about her position on homelessness, criminal justice reform, and, finally, U.S. support for Israel.
"My third question is about Israel," she began. "We spend too much money, $6 billion dollars to Israel, funding apartheid. There is not the shared values that we are supposed to share with Israel."
The notoriously careful Clinton avoided disagreeing with the woman's assertion and sidestepped U.S.-Israeli relations altogether. |
