Madeleine Albright Defends Her Hillary Clinton Remarks
Clinton beat Sanders narrowly in the Iowa caucuses, the nation’s first nomination contest ahead of the November election, but is expected to lose to him in New Hampshire.
Bill Clinton seemed to hedge his criticism at times, saying “I gotta be careful of what I say”, but in his speech here, he seemed to do exactly the opposite.
The former secretary of state was working to close the gap in the polls as she campaigned with her husband, former President Bill Clinton, and their daughter. But a source told Politico that the Clintons – who have been much more critical of aides in recent days – demanded that reassessment of the staff much sooner.
To help appeal to younger women, Clinton has campaigned with Lena Dunham, creator of the HBO show “Girls”, and pop star Katy Perry, but she has failed to connect. “I just want you to think”.
The former president’s more aggressive attacks of Sanders started over the weekend, where he suggested that the Vermont senator was a hypocrite on the issue of campaign finance and called into question Sanders’ honesty.
But while Clinton has vowed to fight for every vote in New Hampshire, at least some of her operation is moving on.
“They are supporting me because they know me”, Clinton said of the members of the Vermont congressional delegation. “Clean water is not optional, my friends”, she said, adding “What happened in Flint is immoral”.
For more than two decades, New Hampshire has been a place of redemption for the Clintons.
On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are looking for a win Tuesday to claim momentum before S.C. Democrats vote February 27.
Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton struggled to defend herself against Bernie Sanders’ insinuations that she’s beholden to Wall Street, while Sanders faced fresh doubts about his experience on foreign policy, a day after jousting in a feisty debate.
Earlier this week, CNN reported that Sanders attended fundraisers on behalf of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) along with other senators, which were attended by lobbyists from the financial industry.
Pastor Kenneth Stewart who preached to the audience before Clinton arrived, was speechless after Clinton’s remarks, openly crying from the pulpit after her remarks.
Sander took a shot at one of Clinton’s biggest allies, David Brock who had pressured Sanders to release his medical records and implied black lives don’t matter to Sanders because African Americans weren’t adequately represented in his commercials.
