Speaking from Philadelphia the day after a sniper shot 12 police officers and killed five in Dallas, Hillary Clinton lamented that in recent times a wave of hate has been “unleashed” in the United States.

“I think that something has been unleashed in our nation where people are saying cruel and hateful things about one another from all kinds of vantage points,” Clinton said, when asked whether the heated national political climate helped lead to this violence, during an MSNBC interview on Friday.
