Geraldine Ferraro
The above comment is the latest bomb thrown in an already blazoned campaign. Geraldine Ferrora, a democratic politician and a member of Senator Clinton’s campaign finance committee made these remarks after giving a paid speech in Torrance, California.
After coming under fire for her remarks, Ferrora has since resigned from Hilary’s campaign team but has remained unapologetic:
“I am stepping down from your finance committee, so I can speak for myself and you can continue to speak for yourself about what’s at stake in this campaign. The Obama campaign is attacking me to hurt you. I won’t let that happen…. If you point to something that deals with race, you are immediately a racist? Give me a break.”
Below, MSNBC news anchor and commentator Keith Olbermann makes a fierce and compelling commentary about the direction of Senator Clinton’s candidacy and her refusal to repudiate the comments made by her campaign member and avid supporter, Geraldine Ferraro.
