Hillary Clinton’s <i>Charlie Hebdo</i> Problem

Published



In the days since the Charlie Hebdo massacre, the response from American politicians has ranged from pathetic to parodic. President Obama expressed regret on Monday through his press secretary that neither he nor any other high-ranking American official joined 44 world who marched alongside millions in Paris. Then on Friday, in an effort to make amends, Secretary of State John Kerry brought James Taylor to a news conference in Paris to sing “You’ve Got a Friend.”

The response from Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state and likely 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, hasn’t been any better. Clinton has remained silent about the Charle Hebdo massacre since it occurred 10 days ago.
