(45,319 posts)She's doing material. Repeats. She was unfair to Obama in 2008.
"Barack Obama actually took money from the company that was creating the nuclear waste and wanted to dump it in Nevada."
"I have been a civil rights activist like this all of my life, and I have been to Chicago many times for many different campaigns that the community there - the Latino community was there. I have, to this day, to meet Mr. Obama. I have never encountered him in any of these big campaigns that we have done in Chicago on different issues."
"These people here actually went to see Obama, Senator Obama. So I dont believe that he has that kind of courage and that kind of judgment. Or lets say, is it judgment or is it wisdom or whatever? But he chose not to be associated with one of the biggest causes that we have in our community."
"And its interesting that in Nevada, where she got almost 59 percent of the Latino vote, in spite of the oppression and the voter suppression and huge intimidation on the part of the Obama supporters of the Latino casino workers, they voted for Hillary."

'When she said Obama refuses to help Latinos, suppresses the vote and has bad judgement she was wrong but when she says those things about Bernie she's right and how dare anyone claim she could ever be wrong??!?!?!"
