Clinton Breaks DAPL Silence With Statement That Says 'Literally Nothing'
http://www.commondreams.org/news/201...erally-nothing
Quote:
The statement from director of coalitions press Xochitl Hinojosa, who oversees Hispanic, black, and women's media for the Clinton campaign, reads in full:
We received a letter today from representatives of the tribes protesting the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. From the beginning of this campaign, Secretary Clinton has been clear that she thinks all voices should be heard and all views considered in federal infrastructure projects. Now, all of the parties involved—including the federal government, the pipeline company and contractors, the state of North Dakota, and the tribes—need to find a path forward that serves the broadest public interest. As that happens, it's important that on the ground in North Dakota, everyone respects demonstrators' rights to protest peacefully, and workers' rights to do their jobs safely.
"What a crock," said Ruth Hopkins, a Dakota-Lakota Sioux writer for Indian Country Today Media Network.
"Hillary Clinton managed to make a statement about the Dakota Pipeline that literally says nothing. Literally," 350.org co-founder Bill McKibben tweeted in response.
