Clinton cannot win election without blood money: Analyst
US Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton cannot win the race for the White House “without blood money,” says a political commentator.
Daniel Patrick Welch, who talked to Press TV on Friday, also said that Clinton is almost the same as her Republican rivals. “She is not all that much different from Ted Cruz or Donald Trump.”
Welch said Clinton’s racist policies are similar to those of Trump and Cruz, noting, the contest between them is like “a race between somebody who wants to kill Black and Brown people domestically and someone who wants to kill them internationally.”
He pointed to Clinton’s support for wars in “Libya, Iraq and everywhere else” as examples of some of her international policies.
“Domestically, the Clintons have been just as horrific on race, on targeting Black and Brown communities, using this absolutely racist 1994 crime bill which Bill Clinton absolutely defended only just yesterday in response to Black Lives Matter activists,” he added.
On Thursday, former US president Bill Clinton confronted angry protesters of the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement over a controversial bill he signed into law in the 90s.
Clinton bickered with protesters in Philadelphia, defending his 1994 crime bill which African Americans condemned as a measure that led to a surge in the imprisonment of people of color.
Welch said all of the Clintons’ measures against people of color “have been devastating and they continue to be devastating for our Black and Brown communities across the country.”
He went on to say that Hillary Clinton, as the Democratic presidential front-runner, “is just a candidate, who could not win an open contest,” without a large amount of “blood money.”
Her Democratic rival Bernie Sanders, whose campaign was boosted by landslide victories in Alaska, Washington, Hawaii and Wisconsin, is hoping to cut further into Clinton’s lead in her home state of New York, where voters will cast their ballots on April 19.
Sanders has long been critical of US foreign policy and was an early opponent of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Clinton, by contrast, tends to be more hawkish and inclined to use military force.
