Bernie stands up for AA communities, gets criticized for it (video)

This can't be posted enough. Bernie takes a day to work with the AA community, but because it's not about ISIS he gets criticized. He has a great response toward the end of the video to the reporter that asked about ISIS (10:55ish), but the whole video is more important than just that one moment.

1. This is they video they don't want you to see

This event today is the reason why the Clinton MSM spin machine is working overtime right now.

Repeating over and over again: Bernie can't connect with black people, "struggling mightily", instead of showing what really went down.
