Hillary Clinton says she opposes the Keystone XL pipeline, calling it "a distraction from important work we have to do on climate change."
Clinton, speaking at a community forum in Des Moines, Iowa, told the audience she waited to weigh in on the decision because she did not want to interfere with an ongoing review conducted by the State Department.
"It is imperative that we look at the Keystone pipeline as what I believe it is, a distraction from important work we have to do on climate change," Clinton said. "And, unfortunately from my perspective, one that interferes with our ability to move forward with all the other issues. Therefore I oppose it."
