Hillary: Former Presidents Shouldn’t Have To Disclose Criminal History

Best Gaffe Ever: Hillary Clinton Says Former Presidents Shouldn’t Have To Disclose Criminal History (The Federalist)

During a speech to the Charleston chapter of the NAACP on October 30, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton discussed criminal justice reform. What kind of criminal justice reform? In her words, the kind that makes it so “former presidents won’t have to declare their criminal history at the very start of the hiring process.”

“Earlier today I announced that as president I will take steps to ‘ban the box,’ so former presidents won’t have to declare their criminal history at the very start of the hiring process,” Clinton told the assembled crowd. She did not correct herself.
