Hillary Clinton: 'You're Not Going to See Me Turn White in the White House'

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton pledged that people will not see her turn white in the White House.

During a women’s conference in South Carolina on Wednesday, Clinton noted how presidents’ appearances change over time.

"All of our presidents come into office looking so vigorous. Think about what they looked like on inauguration day, and then we watch them," she said. "They grow grayer and grayer, and by the time they leave, they are as white as the building they live in."

In run for the White House, Clinton, 67, acknowledged her age and pledged that she would not allow her hair to turn white.

"Now, let me tell you: I am aware I may not be the youngest candidate in this race, but I have one big advantage. I have been coloring my hair for years," Clinton said.  "You are not going to see me turn white in the White House."

The only candidate older than Clinton is 73-year-old fellow Democrat Bernie Sanders.
