Audio: Listen To Bill Clinton Allege That He Personally Witnessed Voter Suppression By Nevada Culinary Workers
Ben Smith reported today that Bill Clinton alleged in an appearance in Nevada that he personally witnessed voter suppression by the culinary workers. Smith posted a transcript he obtained of the event.
I've now obtained audio of Bill's comments. Give it a listen:
Here's the key quote (it starts a little less than halfway through the audio):
Today when my daughter and I were wandering through the hotel, and all these culinary workers were mobbing us telling us they didn’t care what the union told them to do, they were gonna caucus for Hillary.There was a representative of the organization following along behind us going up to everybody who said that, saying 'if you’re not gonna vote for our guy were gonna give you a schedule tomorrow so you can’t be there.' So, is this the new politics? I haven’t seen anything like that in America in 35 years. So I will say it again – they think they're better than you.
Since the audio I have is limited, I can't vouch for the full context. But the charges are eye-opening. Smith has more of the story's details -- and the culinary workers' denial of the charge -- right here.
Audio of Bill after the jump.
