Hillary's comments on RFK

The unease still lingers in the air over Hillary Clinton's comments, when she gave the rationale she shouldn't drop out of the race yet, as Bill Clinton didn't cinch the Democratic nomination until June 1992, and Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June 1968 on his way to the nomination.

This was her apology:

"I regret that if my referencing that moment of trauma for our entire nation and in particular the Kennedy family was in any way offensive."

In politico-speak, it doesn't really sound like an apology. At the same time, RFK Jr. came out on her side. But there it is. Hillary floated the idea of Obama getting assassinated in June as one reason to stay in the race.
