Hillary Clinton on Southern whites, 1995: “Screw ‘em”

April 16, 2008

From The Jed Report: 

Sam Stein's delivers another bombshell. Hillary Clinton, talking about Southern whites in the wake of the 1994 elections:

"Screw 'em," she told her husband. "You don't owe them a thing, Bill. They're doing nothing for you; you don't have to do anything for them."

The statement — which author Benjamin Barber witnessed and wrote about in his book, "The Truth of Power: Intellectual Affairs in the Clinton White House" — was prompted by another speaker raising the difficulties of reaching "Reagan Democrats."

Apparently, the Clinton camp wasn't too eager to discuss this with Stein.

The Clinton campaign did not immediately return a request for comment.

I can't imagine why. Good work Sam!
