Naomi Klein: 'I Don't Trust' Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders 'Is a Significantly Better Candidate'

In an interview with Al Jazeera's UpFront programme, which will air on Friday night, Klein took issue with Clinton's efforts to combat climate change.

The author of the best-selling books No Logo and This Changes Everything told host Mehdi Hasan that 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 links to major donors, saying her ties to corporations made her hard to elect.

(Note: This is two days old, but I don't remember seeing it here. If it has been posted before, my apologies. However, I happen to hold Naomi Klein's opinion in high regard, even if she's not a U.S. citizen).

Never hurts to post more than once. Traffic sends good posts into the ether so fast. Some really good posts don't get many replies. Posts that get a lot of replies are often more antagonistic that informative. My one criticism of this site. Thanks for posting. I haven't seen it.
