Bernie Sanders takes a pass on talking about terrorism during Baltimore visit
After Sanders fielded a few questions on challenges facing the African American community, a CNN reporter asked: “Do you not want to talk about ISIS?”
“Of course I’ll talk about ISIS,” Sanders said.
“But today what we’re talking about is a community in which half of the people don’t have jobs, a community in which there are hundreds of buildings that are uninhabitable, a community where kids are unable to go to schools that are decent.”
He left without discussing terrorism.
The day had been designed as opportunity for Sanders to reach out to African Americans, a constituency he acknowledges he needs to do a better job of courting to be competitive in his bid for the Democratic nomination against Hillary Clinton.
Hillary has a much better sense of what's timely and what a candidate needs to talk about.
And when he needs to talk about it.
