Bill Clinton was referring to a CNN story that detailed Sanders’ fundraising with big-wig Democratic donors.
He detailed Hillary Clinton’s healthcare reform initiatives and education reform programs before defending her legacy saying, “that doesn’t strike me as establishment”. “What happened in Flint is immoral”, she said. She added that Albright already issued that statement since 2008 when she also supported Clinton’s race against Barack Obama.
