Hillary shows her political courage

Hillary Clinton took a big, bold step that is fraught with controversy, a step that proves she is not merely a political hack, but a brave, fearless woman who isn't afraid to say what's right, regardless of how people will attack her for it:

Hillary Rodham Clinton condemned the white nationalist protest in Charlottesville, Virginia via Twitter. She even denounced white supremacy, tweeting: 

"the incitement of hatred that got us here is as real and condemnable as the white supremacists in our streets."

But that wasn't the end of her courage. She lowered her head and charged full speed ahead, tweeting:

"My heart is in Charlottesville today, and with everyone made to feel unsafe in their country."

And then: 

"Every minute we allow this to persist through tacit encouragement or inaction is a disgrace, & corrosive to our values." 

With metaphorical guns blazing and rockets red-glaring she tweeted more gutsy verbiage:

"Now is the time for leaders to be strong in their words & deliberate in their actions."

But just in case people were not inspired sufficiently by her wisdom, she tweeted one more nugget of wisdom:

"We will not step backward. If this is not who we are as Americans, let's prove it."

Finally, just to be cautious, she deleted her tweets and used BleachBit to ensure her words wouldn't be taken out of context.
