In another example of ‘holy crap what if Hillary had done something like this’ we have Sanders failing to lead his campaign and offending swaths of Democrats as a result.
ATLANTA — A spokesman for Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders on Wednesday dismissed as "gotcha politics" a controversy over comments by rapper Killer Mike, a frequent Sanders surrogate, about whether a uterus alone qualifies someone to be president.
Killer Mike, whose real name is Michael Render, was among several African-American supporters who spoke ahead of the Vermont senator at a raucous rally here at the campus of Morehouse College, a historically black institution.
During his remarks, Killer Mike relayed a recent conversation with an activist named Jane Elliott, who, he said, told him: "A uterus doesn't qualify you to be president of the United States. You have to have policy that's reflective of social justice."

These guys just don't get it. Standing by their man.
It's totally cool what he said because he was repeating what a nice progressive lady told him.
Killer Mike went on Twitter to double, triple, and quadruple down claiming everyone was just trying to deflect from his truth. Well, her truth that he gave voice to.
@MichaelSkolnik not an "attack" but a quite from another progressive woman to me. I don't attack
The repugnance of the comments never even crossed the Sanders campaign’s mind it seems.
Black people heard all about how voting for Obama because he’s black was racist.
This line coming from Sanders sounds the same.
