When Hillary Clinton was speaking before the American Federation of Teachers conference in Pittsburgh, she intimated that President Trump's nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court is an indication that Republicans want to bring back slavery.
Aside from the irony that the GOP was historically the party that ended slavery thru President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and passage of the 13th Amendment in 1865, Hillary's hair on fire rhetoric is remarkable.
Instead of Mrs. Clinton continuing her loser tour around liberal circles which offered various excuses why she was beaten by Donald Trump in the 2016 election, she is focusing her wrath more firmly towards the rhetoric of "The Resistance". Whether or not a old pol who profited off of insider deals, questionable charities and the aura of being an Elite can convince surging Democrat Socialists to support her is another story.
This is not the first time which Democrat operatives have sought to invoke slavery to advance their own campaign. During the 2012 cycle, ex Vice President Joe Biden proclaimed "They want to put y'all back in chains" during a rally in Danville, Virginia (which was the last capital of the Confederacy).
It is uncertain in the era #WalkAway and record low black unemployment will work to get minorities to the polls in the midterms.
