Killer Mike Pushes Back on Twitter After Getting Blowback for ‘Uterus’ Hillary Quote
Rapper and major Bernie Sanders backer Killer Mike fought back on Twitter tonight after he got criticized for publicly relaying what someone else told him about Hillary Clinton.
At a Sanders rally tonight, he got pretty fired up about Team Clinton saying “just wait a while” and quoted a woman who told him, “A uterus doesn’t qualify you to be President of the United States.”
