"People should be able to express their thoughts"

Yes they should ... but one also must be held accountable for what one says.

we currently live in a very complex and delicate time in history were we are becoming extremely polarized on political, philosophical, racial, religious views. Paranoia, fear, hatred, revenge is at an all time high. Such remarks from a person of her position, or by anyone does not ease the tension. What she said just adds more fuel to the fire of hatred, ignorance and injustice. Both sides of the equation are hurt from such remarks.
