Congressional Black Democrats Unload on Bernie Sanders

All four black Texas Democrats in Congress went to bat in a big way Thursday for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton amid her increasingly hostile nomination fight with U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont.

The Texas CBC members — U.S. Reps. Al Green of Houston, Eddie Bernice Johnson of Dallas, Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston, and Marc Veasey of Fort Worth — had previously endorsed Clinton, but all attended a news conference laying out the broader endorsement from CBC PAC.

Veasey followed up late in the day with a written statement, calling Sanders “wrong on the issue of health care,” and asserting that Sanders would push back progress on the Affordable Care Act.

"We must not turn back from the progress made by the Obama administration," the statement read.
