Clinton Admits To Promoting Failed Policies In Meeting With #BlackLivesMatter Activists
Hillary Clinton had a private meeting with a small group of #BlackLivesMatter activists after a campaign event she held in Keene, NH on Tuesday. Clinton spoke with the activists after they were barred access from the event and were shuttled to an overflow room. Media was not present for the intimate gathering.
