Hillary Clinton Signs I Love You at Debate After Party




Las Vegas, Oct. 14 – Following the Democratic primary debate, Hillary Clinton greeted supporters at a watch party held at the Wynn Casino and Hotel. Also present – an ASL interpreter.

“So I requested, to provide an interpreter,” Sean Mohan, founder of the Clark County Deaf Democratic Caucus (CCDDC), said. “Of course, under the ADA law, they’re required to provide an interpreter.”

The day before the debate, Clinton Campaign Advisor Colleen Loper attended a briefing with RespectAbility where participants discussed how to make campaign events and websites more accessible for all people. The lessons learned were put into practice.


“It’s the same process we use for Spanish speakers,” Loper said. “If somebody answers the phone in Spanish, we start looking out for a Spanish speaker. We say, who speaks Spanish? So we did the same for sign.”

Supporters received an extra surprise when Clinton signed “I Love You” to the crowd.
