Another day and no apology! Senator Clinton hides behind racist attack.

Yonkers, NY: Today, Republican U.S. Senate candidate John Spencer called on Senator Clinton to do the honorable thing and apologize for her racially divisive comments.

"Senator Clinton's race baiting by comparing the U.S. Congress to a plantation exploits those who suffered under slavery and it trivializes the brutality of a dark period in American history." Said Spencer, "People make mistakes, and when they do, honest people quickly recognize it and apologize. For Senator Clinton not to apologize over 48 hours later can only lead voters to think she really meant and stands by these racially divisive remarks. This is very sad that Senator Clinton stubbornly refuses to make amends and apologize. She should do it in writing and on the Senate floor."

"This is not the first time that Senator Clinton has slandered the Republican Party with racial attacks. To compare the U.S. Congress to slave holding plantation owners is despicable. Senator Clinton must apologize today."
