Why would Hillary Clinton brush off a chance to obtain the endorsement of the National Fraternal Order of Police?
Perhaps it’s because of the absolute absurdity of thought that an organization whose motto means “Fairness, Justice, Equality” would endorse a candidate for president who lives above the laws they’ve sworn to protect. There’s nothing fair, just, or equal about the treatment afforded Hillary Clinton. Anyone else would be behind bars.
Perhaps it’s because she is afraid that people might presume she thinks “Blue Lives Matter,” which would contradict her theatrical championing of the “Black Lives Matter” gang.
Regardless of the reason, Hillary Clinton is sending a big message to the nation’s police officers…I don’t need your support.
It should also send a big message to the voters…we don’t need YOU as President.
The Hill
reports – The union will not be meeting with Clinton because her
campaign decided not to fill out a questionnaire that is required for
seeking the police union’s endorsement.
“We were talking to the highest
levels of the campaign, and we had all indications that she was going to
return the questionnaire,” Canterbury said.
“And on the deadline date we were advised that they declined.”
The Fraternal Order of Police has a strict process for making a presidential endorsement.
It first sends each candidate a lengthy questionnaire; after the candidates complete and return their questionnaires, the union distributes the answers to its membership.
Finally, in September, the state
chapters vote, and if a candidate receives majority support in
two-thirds of the states, he or she wins the union’s endorsement.
This year, only Trump’s campaign filled out the questionnaire.
