Clinton regrets RFK assassination remark
She's got everything to apologize for. It wasn't about RFK or RFK Jr, it was about Obama and used as an excuse to stay in the race. For a little context on why browse this.

She started the statement off with the argument that this wasn't a long primary. The primary she tried to compare this one to didn't even start until well into March, this one started in the first days of January. The equivalent length for the 1968 RFK one would have taken it into mid August at least, not June. She was trying to say this wasn't a long one by a dishonest comparison to start with then she added the assassination thing into it, topped a lie with that.
She's been in politics long enough and race has been a big enough issue that she's well aware of the history of black leaders when they get too successful, of the fact that Obama got Secret Service protection early in response to already getting death threats, and she's no doubt aware that the threat hasn't dissipated in the slightest as he gets closer to a win. Look at all the concerns we've seen here over time, she's not blind to it either and she knew exactly what she was doing.
It was at best a stupid and callous thing to say and at worst a dog whistle to the supers and others, don't invest too much in this man because he may not be here too long. It wasn't a wish, that much I do believe, just a stupid move from a politician who should have known better and who still owes Obama, his family, and his supporters an apology for it.
