Did Hillary Clinton say: If that gorilla was white, this situation would have ended differently. This is being circulated on FB. All of the political talk going around gets crazy, but this seems a bit extreme, even for a politician. Can you verify it? There is an article in the Christian Times Newspaper claiming that Hillary Clinton blamed the gorilla’s death on racism. Here is the link to the article.
ORIGIN:On 2 June 2016, the Christian Times Newspaper web site published an article reporting that former secretary of state Hillary Clinton had “introduced racism” into a debate over the controversial shooting death of a gorilla named Harambe after a child fell into the ape’s enclosure at a Cincinnati zoo:
On Thursday, while campaigning in California, former Secretary of State and presumptive Democratic nominee for President weighed in on the debate. After being asked for her thoughts on the situation, Hillary Clinton took the opportunity to frame the question into the larger debate over police violence and racial tension in America.
“I will tell you one thing,” Clinton said to a group of reporters. “If that gorilla was white, this situation would have ended differently. This was another senseless act of violence that spawned from prejudicial views about skin color.”
“Trayvon Martin, Freddie Gray, Michael Brown — now you can add Harambe to that list,” Clinton continued.
The Trump campaign has not yet responded to Clinton’s comments, but a representative from Black Lives Matter applauded what they called Clinton’s “courageous stand against injustice.” For the full article click here
