Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton apologized Saturday for saying President and Nancy Reagan "started a national conversation" on HIV and AIDS.
"To be clear, the Reagans did not start a national conversation about HIV and AIDS," she wrote on Medium. "That distinction belongs to generations of brave lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people, along with straight allies, who started not just a conversation but a movement that continues to this day."
