“Hillary Clinton understands that our diversity is one of our greatest strengths.” – Sen. Bernie Sanders
Today, Tuesday July 12th, Sen. Bernie Sanders has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president.
At a rally in New Hampshire, Sanders said:
“Secretary Clinton has won the Democratic nominating process, and I congratulate her for that.
She will be the Democratic nominee for president and I intend to do everything I can to make certain she will be the next president of the United States.”
Taking on Donald Trump, Sanders said:
“In these stressful times for our country, this election must be about bringing our people together, not dividing us up.
While Donald Trump is busy insulting Mexicans, Muslims, women, African Americans and veterans, Hillary Clinton understands that our diversity is one of our greatest strengths.
Yes. We become stronger when black and white, Latino, Asian American, Native American – all of us – stand together. Yes. We become stronger when men and women, young and old, gay and straight, native born and immigrant fight to rid this country of all forms of bigotry.”
In thanking Sanders for his endorsement, Clinton said:
“Being here with him in New Hampshire, I can’t help but reflect how much more enjoyable this election is going to be now that we’re on the same side,” she said. Now, with your help, we are joining forces to defeat Donald Trump, win in November and together build a future we can all believe in.”
“Over the years I’ve gotten to know him as a colleague and a friend,” she said. His reputation for passionate advocacy hasn’t always made him the most popular person in Washington. But you know what? That’s generally a sign you’re doing something right.
And throughout this campaign, Senator Sanders has brought people off the sidelines and into the political process.
He has energized and inspired a generation of young people who care deeply about our country.”
