“What the hell is she on?”: Hillary Clinton destroyed on Twitter for praising Nancy Reagan’s “very effective, low-key advocacy” for HIV/AIDS

Speaking to MSNBC Friday morning, Hillary Clinton made the delusional argument that Nancy Reagan helped start "a national conversation" about HIV and AIDS: https://twitter.com/MSNBC/status/7083... "It may be hard for your viewers to remember how difficult it was for people to talk about HIV/AIDS back in the 1980s," Clinton said. And, thanks to Ronald and, "in particular," Nancy Reagan, "we started a national conversation, when before, no one would talk about it, nobody wanted to do anything about it." Clinton said she appreciated Nancy Reagan's "very effective, low-key advocacy," which she said, "penetrated the public conscience." Clinton's mischaracterization of the Reagans' impact on the AIDS epidemic is, put mildly, very wrong. And Twitter is responding accordingly: https://twitter.com/adamjohnsonNYC/st... https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/7... https://twitter.com/fakedansavage/sta... https://twitter.com/alexanderchee/sta... https://twitter.com/JAdomian/status/7... https://twitter.com/ryanlcooper/statu... https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/stat...
