Clinton Takes Heat For Kennedy Assassination Reference In Relation To Obama

Hillary Clinton apologized for referring to Robert F. Kennedy's assassination in June 1968 while justifying her continued campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Under the hood, we've got the details.

"I regret that my referencing that moment of trauma for our entire nation and particularly for the Kennedy family was in any way offensive," Clinton said after a campaign event in Brandon, South Dakota.

She made the reference during a meeting days ago with the editorial board of the Sioux Falls Argus Leader newspaper. A video of the interview was posted on the newspaper's Web site.

``My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right?'' Clinton said in response to a question about calls for her to end her campaign. ``We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don't understand'' calls to drop out, she said.
