The Amsterdam News (leading NYC African American publication) endorses Hillary Clinton

The Amsterdam News endorses Hillary Clinton for president

We have two formidable candidates running for the Democratic nomination. One, a senator representing Vermont who originally hails from Brooklyn, and the other an Illinois native who adopted New York as her home and represented this great state in the United States Senate and as the U.S. Secretary of State.

While Sen. Bernie Sanders believes that he is a revolutionary who will change the face of politics and claims to have been part of the good fight for decades, we ask at the Amsterdam News: If he has been part of the struggle, did we just miss all those protests in Vermont about voter suppression and civil rights?

We first met Hillary Clinton when she was the first lady. We sat with her and discussed health care reform and the issues of the early ‘90s. We met her again upon her arrival in New York. She came to us to explain why she had decided to make New York her home and why she wanted to be our senator.

We watched as she continued to fend her way through Washington. We saw where she put her priorities and how she made our community a priority.

Can't argue with that. I wish Bernie had that one. I wonder if they interviewed him?
