Hillary Clinton and Jefferson Parish Sheriff Harry Lee: A Disturbing Connection

Gonna keep this sweet and short, with plenty of sources. Accuse me of playing the "race card", I dare you.

Quotes from former Jefferson Parish Sheriff Harry Lee:

"If there are some young blacks driving a car late at night in a predominantly white neighborhood, they will be stopped. There's a pretty good chance they're up to no good. It's obvious two young blacks driving a rinky-dink car in a predominantly white neighborhood -- I'm not talking about on the main thoroughfare, but if they're on one of the side streets and they're cruising around -- they'll be stopped."

"I'm going to catch that bastard, and when I catch him, he is going to be black. I just don't give a damn what people think of me anymore. If that was their daughter and we weren't doing that, they would be on our ass."

When residents of an all-black neighborhood in Avondale complained about police brutality, Lee pulled all deputies from the neighborhood.

Notably, after Hurricane Katrina, Sheriff Lee used his deputies to prevent evacuees from New Orleans to cross the Crescent City Connection Bridge into Jefferson Parish.

Harry Lee hosted a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton in May. Hillary Clinton was in attendance at the fundraiser.

Both Clintons are longtime friends of Sheriff Lee.

Lee passed away in October of last year. At his funeral, a letter from Bill Clinton commemorating Lee was read.
