Clinton told ABC News last week that Clyburn “used to be” a long time friend of his, and that Clyburn “was not Hillary’s supporter. Never. Not ever. Not for a day.” Informed that Clyburn had said that the former president’s credibility with the black community had been damaged, Clinton responded “That may be by the time he got through working on it, that was probably true.”

Clyburn was a forceful critic of President Clinton’s campaign tactics during the South Carolina primary, calling Clinton’s comments — including his claim that he was having the race card played on him - “bizarre.”
