This is hard-hitting stuff, Hillary.

None of these Hillary Clinton comments on #Ferguson seem like anything should could not have said right away. Why wait so long?

Wonder what it was that finally helped her realize the time was right to speak up.

3AM already? RT @AlecMacGillis: Hillary makes first comments on #Ferguson. Coming next week: Rodney King. https://t.co/KeyI3Y7wkl

Heh.

@danmericaCNN @donnabrazile Hillary Clinton? FINALLY saying something about #Ferguson?

— ⚖ Kim Prince (@kprin7) August 28, 2014

Only weeks after Ferguson, Hillary speaks up about her deeply-held values.

— Brian Faughnan (@BrianFaughnan) August 28, 2014

By fairly did you mean utterly? RT @jimantle: It's fairly absurd for Hillary's Ferguson statement to be coming out now.

— Corie Whalen (@CorieWhalen) August 28, 2014

Hillary doesn't help her reputation for calculation and insincerity by taking this long to weigh in.

Hey, don’t be so hard on her. After all, she’s only “a human being”:

H. Clinton on #Ferguson: "Watching the recent funeral for Michael Brown, as a mother, as a human being, my heart just broke for his family."

— Dan Merica (@merica) August 28, 2014

What else can you expect?

Look, it was a #hardchoice for Hillary to make the call to weigh in on Ferguson after all this time, people…

— Liz Mair (@LizMair) August 28, 2014

You know, it really was. We need to be more understanding. What matters is that she got to it eventually.

We eagerly await her takes on the other pressing issues of our time.

I eagerly await Hillary's statements on Watts, Crown Heights, Los Angeles, maybe the St. Valentine's Day massacre.
