Bill Clinton said he met Lewis in the 1970s. So exactly what were Bill and Hillary doing during the civil rights movement with Lewis?
My God, they just painted Hillary Clinton as the great defender of Black Americans and they really ripped into Bernie.

(30,345 posts)He said that he didn't know Sanders and he did know the Clintons. He didn't say when he met the Clintons. They are both a bit younger than Sanders and Lewis.
