Hillary Clinton thanks her African-American 'crew' for trying to 'expand my musical tastes'

During a Friday press conference with Latino and African-American journalists, Hillary Clinton said she's been absolutely "blessed to have a crew of great" black friends. "They've supported me, they've chastised me, they've raised issues with me, they've tried to expand my musical tastes," Clinton said, in response to a question about the most "meaningful conversation" she's ever had with an African-American friend.
But when it came down to picking one moment in her "lifetime of friendships, going back to [her] college years," Clinton just couldn't choose one. "We've had a lot of great, great times because of our friendships," Clinton said. "I can't pick one conversation out of, you know, 50 years of conversations."
She then invoked the "cone of friendship silence." Watch the moment, below. Becca Stanek
