(14,177 posts)Bernie lived in Chicago at the time and was doing events there. Lewis I believe lived in the DC area at the time. So, I am not sure how they would have met.

(14,177 posts)He met Hill and Bill when they were in their teens. And while Hillary was still trying to fight her way out of the darkness of conservatism. Unfortunately I think she has lost the fight.

(38,532 posts)We're just supposed to think that's what he meant. It's called obfuscation. It's not a lie.
Get that? It's NOT a lie... if you believe it.

(10,622 posts)To meet with and get involved with Lewis in the marches during that struggle. I Also think Hillary deserves Kudos for wearing a "Goldwater Girl" pin "ironically" as she was decades ahead of the trend now typified by our current younger generation to wear tings "ironically".
I wonder if there romance actually started much earlier than thought, running away from home in secret to become civil rights activists, it sounds legendarily romantic.

"I never saw him. I never met him. I was chair of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee for three years, from 1963 to 1966. I was involved with the sit-ins, the Freedom Rides, the March on Washington, the march from Selma to Montgomery and directed (the) voter education project for six years. But I met Hillary Clinton. I met President (Bill) Clinton."
Okay, since he was "obviously referring to the 60s" can you explain where and when he met the Clintons?
Because the word "but" is generally used to indicate contrast.
