Hillary Clinton takes a swipe at Bernie Sanders as she claims victory in Nevada
Hillary Clinton thanked supporters Saturday after numerous media outlets projected her the winner over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the Nevada Democratic caucuses. "Some may have doubted us, but we never doubted each other," Clinton said in her victory speech to supporters at the Caesars Palace hotel in Las Vegas. "This one's for you."
But after expressing her gratitude, she pivoted her attention to the competition. Clinton acknowledged that while Americans are "right to be angry," specifically mentioning the drinking water crisis in Flint, Michigan, and Wall Street, "we're also hungry for real solutions."
"The truth is we aren't a single-issue country," Clinton said, taking a not-so-subtle swipe at Sanders and his singular message of economic inequality. "We need more than a plan for the big banks."
