Bernie Sanders Tries to Marginalize HRC's Meeting With African American Pastors in Philly

Again, like with Planned Parenthood, he stepped in it last night.

"Bernie Sanders threw one of his most direct rhetorical punches yet at Hillary Clinton over her financial-industry ties on Wednesday night, telling a packed crowd, "My opponent is not in Iowa tonight. She is raising money from a Philadelphia investment firm."

"After the crowd — jammed into a "Music Man"-themed hall — was done booing loudly, Sanders said, "Frankly, I'd rather be here with you."

"Clinton has been barnstorming Iowa in recent days, and she canceled a pair of New York fundraisers set for Thursday in order to spend more time in the state campaigning. But she left the state on Wednesday for a campaign cash event hosted by Franklin Square Capital Partners and featuring a concert by Jon Bon Jovi."

He might try not to go there before making sure he knows what he's talking about.

"Minutes after Sanders hit Clinton, her campaign sent out a press release describing her Wednesday-night meeting with African-American ministers in Philadelphia before the fundraiser."

This meeting was with nearly 50 AA ministers across the country to discuss issues of importance to the community.

This makes me think of a comment by Propane Jane:

For the umpteenth time, systemic racism is the number one reason why we don't have socialism in America. It ain't the banks or the 1%ers."
