Hillary Clinton Interviewed on CNN’s State of the Union

On Sunday morning, an interview between CNN’s Jake Tapper and Hillary Clinton was aired during an episode of State of the Union. Clinton was asked about a number of topics including the upcoming New York primary, comments that her husband, Bill Clinton, made earlier in the week, and her battle with Senator Bernie Sanders. Clinton refused to say anything negative about Sanders saying that she would rather have him in the White House than Republicans Donald Trump or Ted Cruz.

She also defended her plan to introduce a $12 federal minimum wage despite New York and California recently introducing $15 minimum wage laws. Clinton said, “There are a lot of places that are not well off around the country they’re required to have $7.25 wage to go from that to $12 is big leap. Now I want to encourage every place that can go to $15 the New York cities, Los Angeles, Seattle and California raised its minimum wage, but it also took into account different geographic areas with different economic circumstances.” A video of the full interview is below.

Clinton Strong During CNN Democratic Town Hall

Las night, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders took part in a town hall event on CNN. The town hall took place on the campus of Ohio State University and was moderated by CNN’s Jake Tapper and NewsOne Now’s Roland Martin. As with each of the previous town halls, the candidates appeared separately and were asked a series of questions from moderators and members of the audience. Both Clinton and Sanders accused Republican front-runner Donald Trump of inciting violence and Clinton suggested that he is committing “political arson.”

During Clinton’s portion, she was asked questions on a number of topics including heath care, race relations, infrastructure, clean energy, the economy, and education. One of the questions from the audience came from a man in the audience who had been on death row, but later found to be innocent of the crime. He asked Clinton why she said last year she did not favor abolishing the death penalty. She said, “You know, this is such a profoundly difficult question and what I have said and what I continue to believe is that the states have proven themselves incapable of carrying out fair trials that give any defendant all the rights that defendants should have. I would breathe a sigh of relief if either the Supreme Court or the states themselves began to eliminate the death penalty.” A full video of Clinton portion of the town hall is below.
