"Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, both hoping to win over Nevada's African-American
electorate ahead of this week's presidential caucus, attended an aptly named house of worship on Sunday: Victory Missionary Baptist Church.
Seated on opposing sides of the warm red sanctuary, Clinton and Sanders courted African-American voters with similar but opposing messages. While Sanders focused on criminal justice reform and economic policy that would punish billionaires and the top 1% of earners, Clinton trained some of her rhetoric on the man she is running against.
"I am not a single issue candidate and this is not a single issue country," Clinton said, a comment that is squared directly at Sanders. "Because if we were going to achieve everything about banks and money and politics, would that end racism? Would that make it automatically going to happen that people will be able to get the jobs they deserve, the housing the need, the education their children should have?" CNN
