Fact checker says Hillary was right on the minute man issue
Quote:
Actually, Sanders did vote to protect the Minutemen
When Hillary Clinton charged that he voted to protect the anti-immigrant border “vigilantes” known as the Minutemen, Bernie Sanders defended himself by saying Clinton was cherrypicking one piece of a bigger bill to make him look bad. But the issue in question was a specific amendment, specifically written to protect the Minutemen: in the words of its sponsor, Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.), "What my amendment does is simply says that the U.S. Government cannot tip off the Mexican officials as to where these folks are located." In June 2006, Sanders voted in favor.
