The New York Times editorial board on Tuesday called on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton to cut ties with the Clinton Foundation, a nonprofit corporation established by her husband, former President Bill Clinton, that focuses on fighting childhood obesity, addressing the effects of global climate change and creating economic growth.

“I prayed that those who I offended really receive. a honest apology, because it was never my intention to hurt or to offend anyone”, Pastor Mark Burns told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota on “New Day”. What we’ve seen in the past month is that the name-calling and distractions that worked so well against Trump’s primary opponents now appear to be smothering his ability to develop a clear, consistent message on peace and prosperity. “But the methodology, I do not”.
Ben Sasse too said that he can not support someone the he doesn’t think would take the oath of office in good faith. For me, the blackface wasn’t the focal point of the picture.
Voters who described themselves as independents were split: 37 percent for Clinton and 32 percent for Trump. She’s holding a sign that says #@!* THE POLICE and wearing a black T-shirt that says “NO HOT SAUCE NO PEACE”. It’s a reference to Clinton – a well-known spicy food lover – saying on the hip-hop show “The Breakfast Club” in April, ahead of the NY primary, that she always carries hot sauce with her.
A thought bubble shows the cartoon version of Clinton thinking: “I ain’t no ways exhausted of pandering to African Americans”. His policies and comments leave no choice for some Republicans but to denounce him and rather vote for Clinton.
Burns, an African-American who is frequently one of the warmup speakers at Trump rallies, sent out the tweet on Monday to bolster the Trump campaign’s contention that Clinton is pandering for the black vote but will ignore the community if elected on November 8.
Trump senior communications adviser Jason Miller said in a statement that the billionaire businessman’s “positive message of economic opportunity is working and we see the national and battleground state polls all moving in the right direction”.
Burns had told MSNBC Monday that he was “speaking as a black man”.
“It’s a terrifying thing”, he said, calling the Republican nominee “insecure”, “easily provoked” and not “nearly as smart as people might imagine”. I’m a completely separate individual.
“The work of the foundation is as important to him as anything he’s ever done in a lifetime of public service”, said Matt McKenna, who worked as Clinton’s spokesman until a year ago. “En masse, we have been voting for the Democratic party – en masse – and yet, I think we have very little to show for it”.
Mark Updegrove, the director of the Lyndon B. Johnson presidential library and author of “Second Acts: Presidential Lives and Legacies After the White House”, said that while the foundation has unquestionably done good work around the world, the president has no choice but to step aside if his wife wins the White House.
Trump has hosted free-wheeling sessions of debate prep with a close circle of family, media personalities and campaign staff, testing out zingers and talking in broad strokes about how to approach the debate over a meal of cheeseburgers and Coca-Cola at his golf course in New Jersey the past two Sundays.
She’s also had major support from key African-American politicians.
