Hillary Clinton: Jail is exactly what Kim Davis deserved
"She violated the law, and therefore she was arrested," Clinton said
Hillary Clinton directly addressed the Kim Davis scandal at a campaign stop in Iowa this week.
Asked what she would do if “somebody…were to do something like Kim Davis did recently?” Clinton gave a frank answer.
“I think what happened to Kim Davis was the right thing,” she said at Cornell College, the Washington Post reports. “She violated the law, and therefore she was arrested. I actually think that she was treated as she should have been treated…. When you take an oath to uphold the constitution of the United States, that is your job.
“You either enforce the law or you resign from your public position,” Clinton added.
Davis’ star has faded somewhat after it transpired that she and her Liberty Counsel lawyers had lied about the circumstances of her meeting with Pope Francis.
