Clinton supported the 1994 crime bill and the 1996 welfare
reform bill that disproportionally hurt black families without
attempting to help them out of poverty.
The Clinton campaign brought up the 1960s, so here are
the facts. Sanders was active in CORE by 1961 and was
arrested in 1963 for protesting segregation. Hillary Clinton
supported the segregationist Goldwater (whom MLK called
morally indefensible) in 1964 and went to the Republican
convention in 1968 as a volunteer for Rockefeller. She
became a Democrat in law school.
