Clinton To Voter: Why Don't You Go Run For Something [View all]

Why Don't You Go Run For Something

Hillary Clinton was involved in brief confrontation with a young woman during a campaign stop in Minnesota Tuesday afternoon as voters headed to the polls to cast their ballot in the state’s primary.

The Democratic presidential front-runner was leaving a coffee shop when an unidentified Somali-American asked Clinton to comment on past racial remarks, including her recently retracted “super-predator” speech, and the lack of diversity among elected officials.

Clinton went on to reference Abdi Warsame, the first Somali-American elected to the Minneapolis City Council, which the woman questioned, arguing he lacked authenticity.

AAs are fleeing Hillary's campaign in droves. She is having a difficult time now explaining her past position on policies that have gravely harmed the AA community.
