"Bernie Sanders as mayor, as a member of the House, as a member of the United States Senate, has been missing in action on issues that are important to the African Americans," said Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, a Democrat from New York. "Theres no credibility to the things that are being said at the twilight of his political career."
........Clinton has sharply pivoted to minority voters coming out of New Hampshire ................... The campaign announced the endorsement of South Carolina House Democratic Leader J. Todd Rutherford on Wednesday and a slew of other political leaders in the state.
Rutherford joined Jeffries in sharply denouncing Sanders for being "missing in action" on issues that matter to black voters.
"He only really started talking about issues concerning African Americans in the last 40 days," Rutherford said. "On the question of social justice for African Americans, the record is thin."...............
