Author Naomi Klein: I don’t trust Hillary Clinton [View all]

"The author of best-selling books, No Logo and This Changes Everything, told host Mehdi Hasan she does not trust the former secretary of state.

"I don't trust her because as secretary of state, when she had a huge megaphone to make this an issue, to show that she understands the connections between human security and climate, she didn't use the megaphone," Klein said.

She also criticised Clinton's ties to major donors, saying her ties to corporations made her hard to elect.

"I think that Bernie Sanders could win in a general election. I actually think he is a significantly better candidate than Hillary Clinton," she said.

"The power of the socialism smear [campaign against Sanders], I think has really lost a lot of its punch."

I happen to agree that Hillary had a huge microphone at her disposal and it when unused for the most part.

Please note that Naomi is Canadian
