(297,705 posts)It's true even though many deny it.
As you can see I found those pics in Democratic Primaries because.. Dem candidates were there where Hillary was honored.
"Clinton, Sanders, Booker, Brown speak at Martin and Coretta King Unity Breakfast. Hillary honored."

I've been hanging out there.. taking a break from "the anti-Christ".

A small choir serenaded Clinton with a song about moving forward, rising up, and climbing higher mountains. Hillary, one verse went, youre still rising. One speaker made a request for when she is president. Another outlined a justification for inducting her into the
National Voting Rights Museum Womens Hall of Fame. Some wore T-shirts that said, Hillary is my president.
She was elected president of the United States, and it was stolen from her, said state Sen. Hank Sanders, as a breakfast crowd of about 700 rose to its feet. It was stolen from her by the FBI. .?.?. It was stolen from her by the Russians.

Clinton received the 2019 International Unity Award and was inducted into the Womens Hall of Fame by former Senator Hank Sanders and his wife, Rose Sanders.
Women have a hard time when they seek position of power and fight for womens rights, Hank Sanders said. She had to fight to become a Senator and fight to become Secretary of State.
The capacity crowd in WCCS Gymnasium gave a thunderous standing ovation for Clinton, a former U.S. Presidential candidate in the Democrat party.
