Hillary says she won’t pander while pandering.
Via The Hill:
Hillary Clinton bashed presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump and the speech he made Friday to the National Rifle Association (NRA) at an anti-gun violence fundraiser.
“Just yesterday at the NRA annual convention Donald Trump said in his very first hour as president — heaven forbid — he would overturn President Obama’s action to strengthen background checks,” Clinton said at a $1,500-a-ticket conference for the Trayvon Martin Foundation, the Miami Herald reported.
The event, called the Circle of Mothers Conference, was attended by 60 women whose children have been killed by gun violence. The mother of Trayvon Martin, who was shot and killed by neighborhood watch member George Zimmerman in 2012, has endorsed Clinton.
Clinton said partisan politics is keeping the country from passing a policy favored by most Americans.
“Despite all the political noise, we are actually united on this issue,” Clinton said. “The vast majority of Americans support comprehensive background checks. … This isn’t a matter of building public support. We already have it. It’s a matter of making elected officials do their jobs to keep our children safe.”
