Hillary Clinton made a campaign stop at the Apollo Theater in Harlem on Wednesday, revving up a crowd of supporters in the run-up to the New York state primary on April 19.

Here's what people on the ground (and on Twitter) had to say about the event:
People lined up for blocks outside the Apollo, which ended up being a full house.

In the lead-up to the candidate’s speech, a DJ worked the crowd up while a familiar face in the form of Rep. Charlie Rangel danced enthusiastically.

According to one reporter on the ground, Rangel took the chance to take a shot at Clinton’s Democratic rival Bernie Sanders, who is speaking on Thursday in The Bronx.
Charlie Rangel, while campaigning with Clinton in NY, knocks Sanders by telling reporters HRC is the only candidate "running in Harlem."

...and to the chagrin of others
Oh dear lord, did @HillaryClinton just raise the roof on the stage of the Apollo? (Sorry, didn't get a photo!)

Clinton must be a DNAinfo reader, as she borrowed the term “This is New York” in her speech.
