[DemocratSinceBirth]

Former Obama campaign manager and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina said Priorities USA, the Super PAC he is co-chairman of, will support Hillary Clinton for president of the United States. Messina is also chairman of the 501(c)(4) Organizing for Action (formerly Obama for America).


In an interview with MSNBC's Ronan Farrow that took place on Sunday but aired Monday afternoon Messina complained about Citizens United, calling it "the worst decision of the Supreme Court in our lifetime." However, Messina then defended his use of Super PACS, saying he's going to "push back and I'm going to fight for the ideals I believe in."

"Look, I run a Super PAC and I think they should be outlawed tomorrow," Messina told MSNBC's Farrow. "But if they're going to have that kind of money, I'm going to push back and I'm going to fight for the ideals I believe in."

"You're pouring your money towards Hillary, correct?" Farrow asked Messina.

"Yep," Messina said. "We want Hillary Clinton to be the next president of the United States."

"It's her turn and her time," Messina also said. I think she would be the right leader for this country moving forward. And we're going to do whatever it takes to make sure she's the president of the United States.
