Samantha Bee reminds us that it’s possible to make some nice – but vague remarks about somebody at a funeral without inventing a history of AIDS advocacy for Nancy Reagan, but Hillary goofed as we all do from time to time. The difference is, a huge,Cheeto- colored threat to the entire free world doesn’t hinge on our sentimental, loose talk, mercifully.
The Reagan’s activism on a couple of other important fronts may have stuck in Hillary’s mind. Their advocacy for stem cell research and in Alzheimer’s disease are a legacy are highlights of the Reagan administration.
Hillary Clinton quickly realized her error, and apologized. On Saturday she posted the following statement to elaborate.
“To be clear the Reagans did not start a national conversation about HIV and AIDS,” she wrote.”That distinction belongs to generations of brave lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people, along with straight allies, who started not just a conversation, but a movement that continues to this day.”
So – we’re all good, now right?
