Former South Carolina Democratic Party chairman Richard Harpootlian on Wednesday endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for president.

"You sort of say, 'Well, can he do it?' " Harpootlian said, according to the New York Times. "It's like 2007, when I met Barack Obama fully intending to support Hillary Clinton. And after a half hour with him he convinced me, not convinced me so much as I saw a passion in him.

“Hillary is not an agent of change — I mean, her campaign slogan should be, ‘It’s my turn,’ ” he added.

“It’s hard for me to listen to how Hillary says she would fight Wall Street when she took hundreds of thousands of dollars in speaking fees from Goldman Sachs — not 20 years ago, but a couple years ago. She’s talking the talk, but not walking the walk.”

6. Same, I love them too. Courage and good sense. I'd heard of Rich. Harpootlian before.

What he said, 'IT'S MY TURN!' should be her campaign slogan.
