Keith Olbermann Blasts Hillary Clinton Assassination Comment
Staff Reporter | Posted May 24, 2008 2:13 AM"My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. You know I just, I don't understand it."
Those were the words of Senator Hillary Clinton, responding to a question from the Sioux Falls Argus Leader editorial board about why she was continuing her long shot race for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Critics, like Keith Olbermann (shown above), quickly jumped on the remarks. Shortly after the remarks were reported, Clinton was forced to apologize.
"I regret that if my referencing that moment of trauma for our entire nation and in particular the Kennedy family was in any way offensive. I certainly had no intention of that whatsoever," Clinton said.
"The Kennedys have been much on my mind the last days because of Senator Kennedy," she said. "I regret that if my referencing that moment of trauma for our entire nation and in particular the Kennedy family was in any way offensive. I certainly had no intention of that whatsoever. My view is that we have to look to the past to our leaders who have inspired us, give us a lot to live up to, and I'm honored to hold Senator Kennedy's seat in the United States Senate from the state of New York and have the highest regard for the Kennedy family," she said.
This is the original video in which Clinton raised the assassination issue.
