As we reported last night, a planned Donald Trump rally in Chicago was canceled as “absolute chaos” erupted during protests.
The Hillary Clinton campaign addressed the matter this way:
Violence has no place in our politics. We should use our words and deeds to bring Americans together. pic.twitter.com/FofjognpIA

Clinton’s taking a lot of heat for that statement:
@HillaryClinton You choose to police our anger about racism instead of condemning & working to dismantle racism. We see you.

Lame. The violence AGAINST Blacks, POC, Muslims & Sikhs by Trump supporters needs to be addressed. B.S. https://t.co/gti2sMyTcd

Hilary is terrified of people's power. She would rather see a fascist rally than people trying to shut it down. https://t.co/0PPlsnqu1l

Terrible statement misses that protesters fear Charleston-style murder, under Trump, will be recurrent and approved https://t.co/8brgpGhwFD

So you never saw the violence towards black protesters at his rally prior to?

We’ll see if Team Clinton deems it necessary to “clarify” Hillary’s position.
How long before she releases an "I misspoke" statement on this mess of a statement? https://t.co/N58nuYgh2X
