Clinton appologizes for Kennedy remark
Hillary Clinton quickly apologized for remarks she made today that seemingly linked this year’s fight for the democratic nomination to Bobby Kennedy’s.
“My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. You know I just, I don’t understand it,” she said earlier today.
She later said she did not mean to offend anyone.
“I regret that if my referencing that moment of trauma for our entire nation and in particular the Kennedy family was in any way offensive,” she said. “I certainly had no intention of that whatsoever.”
