Ah man. Hillary Clinton screwed up again!
While speaking with CNN’s Jake Tapper Friday, Hillary said that she’s used to dealing with men like Donald Trump who often go “off the reservation.”

“Remember, I have a lot of experience dealing with men who sometimes get off the reservation in the way they behave and how they speak,” Hillary told CNN’s Jack Tapper Friday.
Being married to Gropey McSkeezebag has helped her prepare for Donald Trump? Is that what she’s suggesting?
Eh, who cares, because she said RESERVATION!!!! That’s racist! At least, that’s what some Democrats are saying.

“As an historian, I would caution any of us in this country to talk about anybody being off the reservation. Let us not forget that the colonists of this country stole the land from our Native American brothers and sisters and government put them on reservations. So we have to be careful with that type of language,” Nina Turner, a former Ohio state senator who previously served on the board of the pro-Clinton group, Correct the Record, told CNN’s Jake Tapper.
“Lot of people not aware of it, but the term ‘off the reservation’ is very offensive to a lot of Native Americans,” he responded. “Thanks for that reminder.”
Even Bernie Sanders’ tribal outreach director Nicole Willis called her out. (Yes. Bernie Sanders has a tribal outreach director. For real.)
“This is one of many sayings that marginalize the experience of American Indians and Alaska Natives. I’m disappointed that politicians who should have ample opportunity to interface with tribal representatives still use such expressions,” Willis said.
I think the outrage is beyond stupid, but Hillary is the one who relentlessly plays these word games, so she deserves everything coming her way and THEN some.
The entire thing reminds me of this:
