Hillary Clinton got herself into some trouble during an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper:
Clinton: I have experience dealing with men "off the reservation" like Trump https://t.co/pl7g0ib6xw #HillaryOnCNN https://t.co/1lCsyyOSF1

The “experience dealing with men who are off the reservation” comment got Hillary a few self-awareness wake-up calls (because of, you know, who she’s married to), not to mention criticism for a term that was called a “racial slur against Native Americans.”
The National Political Director of Hillary 2016, Amanda Renteria, responded for the campaign last night:
(1/2) About the use of an expression today that has some very offensive roots…Divisive language has no place in our politics.

(2/2) @HillaryClinton meant no disrespect to Native Americans. She wants this election to be about lifting people up, not tearing them down.

Hillary’s not going to at least dock ten dollars from her next Wall Street speech paycheck as punishment?

HA HA
I'm only offended because it was used by a disgusting, virtue signaling, crooked, white, corrupt politician! https://t.co/a9HeObKzwJ

@AmandaRenteria @HillaryClinton perhaps Hill should explain what she meant by this
