(Jewish Group) Hillary Clinton urges Jewish labor activists not to 'walk away' ahead of 2020

At a Monday evening event organized by the Jewish Labor Committee, Hillary Clinton slammed the Trump administration and spoke of the Jewish concept of tikkun olam, repairing the world.

The former secretary of state and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee addressed attendees at the organization’s 48th annual human rights awards dinner. Some 250 people came to the event held at the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel, organizers said.

After being introduced by Jewish Labor Committee President Stuart Appelbaum, Clinton thanked the organization for its work, and then quickly pivoted to attacking President Donald Trump and his administration.

“We’ve never seen such a cruelty and contempt for the values that we pledge allegiance to, that we see embodied in our constitution, that we have fought to make a more perfect union over all of these years together,” she said.
