“I am constantly living with fear, because I know at any moment I can be separated from my son and lose everything I have earned, and my family will be torn apart like many other families”, she said.
“Will that end sexism?”
At her Henderson rally, Clinton pitched herself as the Democrat who will “take on every barrier to progress”, not just economic ones.
After an event in Reno, Sanders said Clinton’s tactic of casting him as a single issue candidate was “stunning” and that he thought the Clinton campaign was coming “unraveled”. Will that end discrimination against the LGBT community?
Clinton and Sanders were in Nevada to campaign for the state’s Democratic caucuses in a week.
“I think if you check my record, you will find that I have stood up and will continue to stand up to mining extraction companies that are trying to invade indigenous territory”, responded Sanders.
“Personally, I like Bernie. I don’t think they’re realistic”, said Las Vegas resident Chris Lloyd, 53, a member of the painter’s union. “I want you to explain that we’re going to have new jobs and infrastructure and manufacturing, and clean renewable energy we’re going to put people to work across America again and we’re going to see incomes going up”.
The Clinton campaign, facing ever-increasing pressure from Sanders in the polls, has significantly ramped up its attacks against the Vermont socialist.
