2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Stop the train! Am I reading this right? [View all]Catherina
(35,568 posts)25. Yep. And "the candidate would not meet with the protesters"
Nick Merrill, a spokesman for Clinton, said the candidate would not meet with the protesters.
After walking off stage, Clinton was met by LaDavia Drane, her director of African-American outreach.
"It's always an adventure," Clinton proclaimed.
Speaking to CNN after the event, Lewis said he believes the protesters "represent another time, another period."
"It is unfortunate that they didn't listen to the secretary," he added.
