He added his belief that drugs are a “very, very big factor in what you’re watching on television at night”.

Trump was asked to explain the pros and cons of the controversial police practice.
While most people who have been concerned with how police interact with the community have registered their concerns the right way, “every once in a while you see folks doing it the wrong way”.
“I think even most 8-year-olds will tell you that whole slavery thing wasn’t very good for black people”, Obama told ABC News in an interview that aired Friday on “Good Morning America”. Speaking before a mostly white audience Tuesday in Kenansville, North Carolina, Trump spoke of the need to “rebuild our inner cities”. Trump was slow to disavow former KKK leader David Duke earlier in the year and has repeatedly promoted tweets by white supremacists during his White House bid.
Clinton notably made no direct mention of Trump in a speech in Orlando, Florida, focused on helping people with disabilities thrive in the US economy.
Clinton has made curbing gun violence and police brutality a central part of her candidacy.
Sure, Keith Lamont Scott was just shot and killed in Charlotte, the 702nd person to have been shot and killed by cops in 2016 alone, just days after the death of Terence Crutcher, so forget that citizens could be understandably upset about police violence against African-Americans.
“I just don’t feel I can trust her”, said Jesse Weber, 21, a college senior who’s undecided.
African American lawmakers and organizations argued that expanding the use of stop and frisk anywhere would only heighten simmering tensions between law enforcement and minority communities. The group includes the mothers of Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, black victims of high-profile killings.
As she prepared for their debate Monday night, Clinton used humor to poke at her opponent by appearing on comic Zach Galifianakis’ web program, “Between Two Ferns”.
The practice was aggressively pursued in NY under former mayors Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg, and Trump declared himself a fan of the policy.
Trump’s idea sounded “so retrograde and so non-commonsensical”, she told The Huffington Post in an interview while on vacation.
“I assume he will wear that red power tie”, Clinton said. His suggestion that Chicago’s violence is worse than that of Afghanistan is incorrect.
Police tactics and deadly encounters with African-Americans, many of them unarmed, have sparked protests and unrest across the country in recent years.
“It’s not helping you in the short run because your officers are spending time with people who aren’t involved in criminal activity”, Cohen said. “They are the line separating civilization from total chaos”. “I think you have to”, Trump said, according to excerpts of a Fox News “town hall” in Cleveland, after a listener asked what he would do to reduce crime in predominantly black communities across the nation. Trump was at an African-American church on Wednesday when he praised stop-and-frisk, which had triggered protests and either court rulings that it was unconstitutional or outside monitoring in cities like New York, Chicago and Newark, New Jersey.
The 30-second ad shows young girls and women looking in the mirror as they hear Trump describe various women as “fat”, a “slob” and one who “ate like a pig”.
