Bill Clinton Pays Philip Levine An Office Visit
Beloved ex-President Bill Clinton attended a luncheon at Philip Levine’s Royal Media offices and campaign headquarters on Miami Beach along with best friend, and Best Buddies advocate, Anthony Shriver. In a speech, Clinton said, “Philip walked door-to-door and knocked on over 4,000 doors because he wanted a direct relationship with the people. He wanted to listen, to learn and to sell himself. I really think that this is an important election, not just for the people of Miami Beach, but for sending a signal of what kind of politics we need in America.”
The visit signaled Clinton’s official endorsement, to which the candidate said, “To say that I am honored to receive President Clinton’s endorsement of my candidacy is an understatement.
The correct adjectives are difficult to express, but this is a serious matter and I intend to be a Mayor that the residents will be proud of, as well as my friend, President Clinton.”
