The Right Wing Replies To Hillary's Speech

This is a continuation of my last post, "Hillary Clinton's Bold Statement On Race." I said that I wanted to see the right-wing reaction to Hillary's speech at the U.S. Conference of Mayors. Click here for a Breitbart response by Katie McHugh, in an article entitled "Hillary Clinton Denounces White Privilege, Calls for Taking Guns From ‘Those Whose Hearts Are Filled With Hate.'" Here's her first sentence:
In an emotional speech that heaped scorn and blame on America for failing to pass gun control measures while it supposedly perpetuates racism, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said white Americans need to “question our own assumptions and privilege."
McHugh heaps more scorn on Hillary and makes the usual right-wing point that the killer's motives were "unclear," and perhaps not race-based at all. Yeah, right.

Eric Owens, at the execrable Tucker Carlson's site, The Daily Caller, reacts to Hillary's speech with a post entitled "Hillary Clinton Chides America For Racism, Lives In Town With 1.9 Percent Black Population."

Is that the best you've got, Tucker? (I noticed, but didn't bother to read, an item where Carlson suggested on Fox News that as long as Obama supports gun control, his Secret Service contingent should go unarmed. Typical Tucker.)
