From Huffington Post:
Former President Bill Clinton was in Chicago yesterday, throwing his support behind his former aide Rahm Emanuel in the city’s mayoral contest.
At least one candidate wasn’t too thrilled to see him.
Carol Moseley Braun, a former U.S. Senator whom Clinton appointed as the Ambassador to New Zealand, wrote a scathing release on her website criticizing the endorsement:
President Bill Clinton does not live or vote in Chicago. He’s an outsider parachuting in to support another outsider. For him to come on the day following Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday to insert himself in the middle of a mayoral race, when the majority of the population and mayoral candidates are African-American and Latino, is a betrayal of the people who were most loyal to him. It’s a mistake.
