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."
