As Clinton approached, Kennedy made sure to make eye contact and indicated he wanted to shake her hand. Clinton leaned towards Kennedy over a row of seats and Kennedy leaned in towards her. They shook hands.

Obama stood icily staring at Clinton during this, then turned his back and stepped a few feet away. Kennedy may’ve wanted to make peace with Clinton but Obama clearly wanted no part of that.

Anyone seen video of the fateful moment? There’s nothing on YouTube or RedLasso and Scarborough doesn’t have it here so I’m guessing it doesn’t exist. Tip me if you spot it. I’m curious.
