Hillary was in Denmark, SC Hosting "Corridor of Opportunity", so she couldn't be @ the NOC forum

in Minneapolis, Minnesota on February 12th.

On Friday, February 12, Hillary Clinton will be visiting Denmark, SC for a “Corridor of Opportunity” town hall to discuss the disparities facing South Carolinians and communities of color.

Clinton will outline her plans to build on President Obama’s agenda. Bamberg County is in the I-95 corridor, which includes the state’s poorest rural school districts.

Hillary Clinton has a long history of fighting for children and criminal justice reform in South Carolina. In the 1970s, Clinton came to South Carolina for the Children’s Defense Fund to help investigate the living conditions of teenagers held in adult jails.

The Children’s Defense Fund led the effort to separate these young people from adult prisons, including children in Bamberg County.

This event is open to the public.

Hillary Clinton unveils ‘economic revitalization plan’ during Denmark town hall

DENMARK — Hillary Clinton returned to South Carolina on Friday for a town hall in one of the state’s poorest counties where nearly one-third of the residents live in poverty.

More than 400 supporters enthusiastically welcomed the Democratic presidential candidate to Denmark-Olar Elementary School where she told them her policies would help create a level playing field.

She also targeted nomination rival Bernie Sanders, telling the largely black crowd she is better equipped to continue the policies of President Barack Obama than Sanders.

“He has called the president weak, a disappointment, he tried to attract a candidate to actually run against the president when he was running for re-election,” Clinton said.

She added, “He does not support — as I do — building on the progress that the president has made.”

While at the school Clinton unveiled a $125 billion economic revitalization plan she said would target “America’s under-served communities.”

Very important event with the African American Community in "Bamberg County.. the I-95 corridor, which includes the state’s poorest rural school districts."

Not a good idea to try and disparage her for this.

Don't let them bamboozle you.. as President Obama has said many times on the campaign trail.
