That's how they thought then.
The D.C. vs. Heller decision was very strongly and she was extremely angry about it. I watched. I mean, [Hillary Clinton] was very, very angry when upheld. And Justice [Antonine] Scalia was so involved. And it was a wellcrafted decision. But Hillary [Clinton] was extremely upset, extremely angry.

I`m talking about the presidential nominee on the Democratic side. Hillary Clinton is corrupt. And she`s lied. And she`s under another criminal investigation.
