Hillary Clinton speaks at East Los Angeles College amid protests

LOS ANGELES (KABC) --

Democratic front runner Hillary Clinton vied for votes in Southern California on Thursday by vowing to raise the national minimum wage and create jobs.

She met privately with a group of politically influential black pastors during a stop at the California African American Museum in Exposition Park. Then she attended a fundraiser hosted by Los Angeles City Councilman Jose Huizar.

5. Twitter is reporting this:

Its being reported as "Bernie supporters", but it was the Latino community protesting her policies/record.

6. Sounds like it was Bernie supporters, including Latino Bernie supporters.

KNBC has this:

Protesters supporting Clinton's Democratic rival, Bernie Sanders, clashed with her supporters outside the college as a cordon of police kept watch.

"She would do absolutely nothing to help the middle class," said Cilena Aziz, a Sanders supporter.

Among the protesters gathered were from a group called Union del Barrio, a political group with a presense in South Los Angeles. They said Clinton did not support a national $15 minimum wage and has been a part of anti-immigration policies, including deporting undocumented children.

8. "We only matter when it is Cinco de Mayo"

That crowd did not look all that white as I was told to expect.

Most of the other signs were anti-war.

Nobody made Clinton support the Iraq war, nor the bombing of Libya. If Sanders had done this, people would be protesting his speeches too.
