Hillary Clintons Omission from Womens March on Washingtons Honoree List Draws Ire
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/hillary-clinton-omission-women-march-124718561.html
Why is the creator of the Womens March on Washington blacklisting Hillary Clintons name?
The Womens March on Washington is set to take place on Saturday, with tens of thousands of women and men turning out to march in solidarity in protest of Donald Trumps illegitimate election and inauguration. The event should be all inclusive and highly influential, considering the media coverage its likely to get. But a controversy has exploded in which the creator of the march listed dozens of women as honorees, but made a point of leaving off Hillary Clinton.
The backlash against the Womens March creator, Linda Sarsour, who has offered up one bizarre excuse after another in various social media posts and comments for omitting Clintons name. But the bottom line appears to be that she simply hates Hillary Clinton because shes a die hard Bernie Sanders fanatic, and shes looking for one more opportunity to rub Hillarys nose in it. This has caused backlash from Hillary supporters and Bernie supporters alike, who view Sarsours petty symbolic move as a needless distraction at a time when all who stand against Donald Trump are attempting to come together.
