Hillary Clinton
Booed at Debate for Madeleine Albright’s ‘Special Place in Hell’
by Patrick Howley 11 Feb 2016
Scattered boos erupted in the crowd at Thursday
night’s Democratic debate in Milwaukee when the moderators brought up Clinton ally
Madeleine Albright’s controversial “special
place in Hell” quote that sent the Clinton campaign into a tailspin in New
Hampshire.
In her answer, Clinton declined to distance herself from
the divisive statement, or to rebuke her ally, Albright.
The PBS debate, moderated by Gwen Ifill and Clinton Foundation donor Judy
Woodruff, started slow but picked up when Albright’s divisive quote was brought
up. Albright infamously said on stage in New Hampshire that “There’s a special
place in Hell” for women who don’t support female candidate Hillary Clinton.
“She’s been saying that for as long as I’ve known her,
which is about 25 years,” Clinton said. “We have to empower everyone, women and
men, to make the best decisions they can make.”
Clinton said that “I have spent my entire adult life to
make sure that women are empowered to make decisions…even if that decision is
not to vote for me.”
“I have no argument with anyone making up her mind about
who to support…I hope that there will be a lot more [women] supporting me” by
November, Clinton added.
Clinton noted that for the first time at a primary debate
“We’ve had a majority of women on the stage.” Clinton was counting the two
female moderators and herself, and putting male Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)16%
in the minority.
Sanders scored some audience reaction when Clinton said
that she will have the clout, once she’s in the White House, to pay for her
$100-billion- a-year health care plan by taxing the wealthy.
“Secretary Clinton, you’re not in the White House yet,”
Sanders snapped back.
Both candidates made overtures to the black community
ahead of the Feb. 27 South Carolina primary, which will be decided by the black
vote. Clinton brought up the police shooting of Dontre Hamilton in Milwaukee,
but she stumbled slightly over Hamilton’s name.
