Former President Bill Clinton was interrupted by a protester on Tuesday over the 1994 crime bill he signed into law while campaigning for his wife at Ohio University.
Clinton responded to the protestor by pointing out that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) had voted for his 1994 crime bill.
"I will not vote for a candidate that has sent millions of my people to prison," the protestor shouted.
The crowd tried to drown out the protester by chanting Hillary Clinton’s name, but the former president quieted down the crowd and responded to the protester’s claim.
"I agree if I had sent millions of your people to prison or she had, that would be good," Clinton said. "Hillary didn’t vote for the ’94 crime bill, even though Sen. Sanders did. And neither one of them were trying to send millions of your people to prison because there were fewer than ten percent of our entire prison population in the federal prison system. And she was the first person in this campaign who said we ought to do something to change the incarceration policies."
