'How RACIST was THAT'? Hillary's in hot water over 'racial slur against Native Americans' [video]

@thehill I'm sure our Native American population is totally happy with that comment, too.

Hillary may be old, but she’s not necessarily a golden girl. During an interview with Jake Tapper, she made some remarks that don’t appear to be going over quite as well as she may have expected:

Clinton: I have experience with "men who sometimes get off the reservation" like Trump https://t.co/5JXXNmCO0k https://t.co/D3YnY6BhTc

What she said raised eyebrows for a couple of reasons. First of all, there was this angle:

@CNN Her own husband wandered 'off the reservation' many times and she didn't handle that well.

Yeah, like she handled Bill Clinton when he went off the reservation. https://t.co/2IVAecL9Lb

We know. She's married to a man that went off the reservation many times. https://t.co/7DXwPY5Kh7

But many others were much more focused on her word choice. Her highly problematic word choice:

@CNNPolitics HEY, how RACIST was THAT! How could you not call her out on slandering Native Americans? Really?https://t.co/P2qQ2ETjUI

@thehill Does Clinton not know that the phrase "off the reservation" is a racist remark?

— Lance Strosser (@LWStrawsir) April 29, 2016

@jaketapper That is an insult to Native American Indians! We think @HillaryClinton should apologize!!

Chauvinistic bullying is repugnant, but so is responding to misogyny with racist language like this @HillaryClinton https://t.co/2O5ocskXxm

What will it take for political leaders to stop using “Went off the reservation” as a term? It’s racist, people. Sheesh.

#cnn HRC ……off the reservation. ..? Maybe reconsider that racist phrase? I consider it offensive. .and I'm not an American Indian!

"Off the reservation". Nice racist comment @HillaryClinton show your true colors. https://t.co/tMXgmeIEif

@TheLeadCNN what the heck did she mean by that comment 'off the Reservation?' Native Americans should jump all over that!

— Larry_Warcup (@Larry_Warcup) April 29, 2016

@onmiemtp It is a racial slur against Native Americans. She is quite versed with racial slurs. HATEFUL HILLARY! #FeelTheBern #BernieOrBust

@CNNPolitics that's a fucking racist comment my people were killed for going off the reservation and hunting

— D.B Cooper (@DanDmb68) April 29, 2016

@HillaryClinton you want to explain your 'off the reservation' remark? 'cause this cherokee woman didn't find it fucking funny.

— Susi Learn (@EtsiSusi) April 29, 2016

So, will this be a drag on Hillary-mentum? Guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Will @HillaryClinton be called out by Native American groups for her 'off the reservation' cultural appropriation? https://t.co/8NsCHRHrmB

But one thing’s for sure: She should thank her lucky stars she doesn’t have an (R) after her name.

Q: So political candidates can say "off the reservation" without correctly being called a racist?

A: Yes, but only if a Democrat …
