On Monday night, Hillary Clinton attended the Iowa Brown & Black Presidential Forum on the campus of Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. Clinton was interviewed third following her Democratic primary rivals, Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley. The forum was hosted by Fusion and moderated by Fusion anchors Jorge Ramos and Alicia Menendez, Fusion contributor Akilah Hughes, and New York Magazine Writer-at-Large Robert Browne. The forum focused on issues related to minority issues, specifically issues related to the African-American and Latino communities.
Clinton was asked a wide variety of questions, but one topic that was of focus was immigration. She said that she had no plans to continue President Barack Obama’s deportations, and Clinton spoke out against the move by the Obama administration. She said, “I do not think the raids are an appropriate tool to enforce the immigration laws. They are divisive, they are sowing fear.” She was also asked whether she saw a contradiction in her plans to reform immigration, but toughen borders at the same time. She replied, “I don’t see a contradiction there.”
She was also asked about her plans for fighting domestic terrorism and gun violence. Clinton has unveiled a comprehensive plan to reign in gun violence, and she said that “we have to come together as a country and take a stand against violence.” Another topic covered was a woman’s right to choose. When Clinton was asked if she would support efforts to repeal the Hyde Amendment, which bans federal funding for abortion, Clinton swiftly replied “Yes.” She continued, “To me, reproductive rights are a fundamental human right.”
The conversation between Clinton and panelists lasted for about 45 minutes and covers a wide variety of important topics. A full video from the event is below. The video picks up with Clinton’s introduction.

On Monday, Hillary Clinton hosted a organizing event in Waterloo, Iowa where she received the endorsement of Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. He introduced Clinton, praising her infrastructure proposal to fix roads, bridges, public transportation systems, water systems, and increase broadband Internet. Of Clinton’s diverse background and experience, he said, “It’s not just something she read in a book. It’s something she has done.”
Clinton then spoke, unveiling a proposed 4% tax on individuals making more than $5 million per year. The plan would raise approximately $150 billion over ten years, and would only affect .02% of taxpayers. The plan, dubbed the “Fair Share Surcharge” is in addition to following the Buffett Rule for taxing those who make over $250,000 a year. Clinton pledged again that she would not raise taxes on those making less than $250,000, something that her Democratic primary rival Bernie Sanders can not pledge to.

It has been too hard fought for. And I am going to stand up and make it clear there is a huge difference between us.” A video of the full interview is above.
