TYT: Conservation Group Says Bernie Best On Environment, Still Endorses Hillary

[WhoIsNumberNone]

The League of Conservation Voters cares a lot about the environment. They also seem to care a lot about Hillary Clinton. In an unprecedented move, they have endorsed a Democratic candidate before the primary was over. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"The League of Conservation Voters endorsed Hillary Clinton Monday, giving her a boost from a major environmental group in the Democratic presidential primary...

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has a stronger voting record in Congress than Clinton on environmental issues, according to LCV's scorecard. A spokesman for the group told The Washington Post, which first reported the news of the endorsement, that it counts votes where a lawmaker was absent as a "no" vote, so Clinton's score as a New York senator was lower because she was often away from Washington while running for president in 2008.”*
