"During a campaign stop at a coffee shop in Minnesota on Tuesday, Hillary Clinton told a young
black woman to “go run for something” if she wouldn’t support the former secretary of State’s bid for the White House.
According to The Hill, the woman was confronting Clinton about the remarks she has made in the past, including comments she made about “super-predators” in 1996. Some people have taken those comments as digs at black men.
Clinton made reference to meeting a Somali-American city council member, presumably Abdi Warsame of the Minneapolis City Council, yet the woman persisted in arguing with Clinton.
“You know what, dear, you have a different opinion,” Clinton said. “He is a Somali-American elected to the city council. I’m really proud of that.”
After the woman disagreed with her again, Clinton fired back: “Why don’t you go run for something then?”
“I’m working for a Somali-American,” the woman said.
“Well, good!” Clinton exclaimed. “Good luck to you!” yahoo
