Hillary Clinton addresses Paris attacks at the Democratic debate

Nov 14, 2015 by Kat Kane

“Our prayers are with the people of France tonight, but that is not enough.”

Hillary addressed the horrific attacks in Paris during her opening statement at the second Democratic debate. Watch:

“Well, our prayers are with the people of France tonight, but that is not enough. We need to have a resolve that will bring the world together, to root out the kind of radical, jihadist ideology that motivates organizations like ISIS, a barbaric, ruthless, violent, jihadist, terrorist group.

"This election is not only about electing a president. It’s also about choosing our next commander-in-chief, and I will be laying out, in detail, what I think we need to do with our friends and allies in Europe and elsewhere to do a better job of coordinating efforts against the scourge of terrorism. Our country deserves no less because all of the other issues we want to deal with depend on us being secure and strong.”

A higher minimum wage will help close the pay gap, help lift millions of women out of poverty, and have a ripple effect across our economy.

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) November 15, 2015

We should make the tax system fairer: close loopholes for Wall Street money managers and millionaires and give the middle class a tax break.

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) November 15, 2015

We should build on the progress we've made on health care—not go back to square one. #DemDebate pic.twitter.com/24rXGZDReo

There is no place in America for second-class citizenship. Hard-working immigrant families deserve a path to full and equal citizenship.

We cannot give up on preventing gun violence. We—and our next president—have to stand up to the NRA. #DemDebate pic.twitter.com/tTeliBglji

There have been approximately 2,800 gun deaths since the last #DemDebate one month ago. We can't wait any longer to act on gun violence.

.@HillaryClinton believes it's time to act on gun violence—and she has a plan to do it. #DemDebate pic.twitter.com/A20U2alL2S

— The Briefing (@TheBriefing2016) November 15, 2015

We cannot accept 33,000 gun deaths per year as “normal.” Most Americans—including law-abiding gun owners—believe we can and must do better.

BINGO! BINGO! BINGO! She went local for Iowans on this and proved not only that she listens to them but that she knows who the players are: helpful and dangerous!

And an endorsement from very unexpected quarters.

Hillary is more qualified than any of the men running for POTUS by a sizable margin. We are lucky she is willing to put up with the grief.
