Armstrong Williams, Ben Carson’s business manager, says that the Clintons “will say whatever they need to say and do whatever they need to do to get elected.”
During a panel at that Al Sharpton’s National Action Network conference in New York on Wednesday, Williams said, “We sit here, you hear the race speeches because they feel that’s what you want to hear today. Everything in America is not always about race.”
“Make these people earn your vote,” Williams insisted. “If it’s Donald Trump, so be it. If it’s Bernie Sanders, so be it. Do not allow the Clintons and the establishment to waltz in here and wave their hand and everything is OK. Let them earn your vote, OK?”
Upon receiving boos from the crowd, Williams said, “I don’t mind the hisses, because you know the truth when you hear it. Make them earn your vote. You can talk about race. They play the race card too, as they did in South Carolina against Barack Obama. Don’t get caught up in the short memory. This is a business. They’ll say whatever they need to say and do whatever they need to do to get elected.”
During the 2008 presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton downplayed the role Martin Luther King played in American history and Bill Clinton called Obama’s record a “fairytale.”
