"Killer Mike Defends Himself After ‘Uterus’ Comment at Sanders Rally."

"The Atlanta rapper, who has helped Mr. Sanders in his attempts to garner support from black voters...."

Garner.

"... said that he was quoting from a recent conversation with a feminist as he pointedly attacked Hillary Clinton...."
“When people tell us, ‘Hold on, wait awhile.’ And that’s what the other Democrat is telling you,” Killer Mike said. “ ‘Hold on, Black Lives Matter. Just wait awhile.’ ‘Hold on, young people in this country, just wait awhile.’ And then, and then she — she get good, she have your own mama come to you. Your own mama say to you, ‘Well, you’re a woman.’... But I talked to Jane Elliott a few weeks ago, and Jane said, ‘Michael, a uterus doesn’t qualify you to be president of the United States. You have to be — you have to have policy that’s reflective of social justice.’ ”
Why does he have to defend himself for saying that?

ADDED: The name "Killer Mike" got me thinking about the old one-hit-wonder recording "Killer Joe," by The Rocky Fellers. Just a 1960s diversion for a Wednesday morning. Nothing to do with the election. Not everything's about the election.
