On Thursday morning, Hillary Clinton appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America for a town hall style segment. Clinton was interviewed by Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos before taking questions from those in attendance. She was asked questions on a number of topics including some of her platform points, her Democratic rival Bernie Sanders, her thoughts on the Republican presidential candidates, and she was asked some light hearted questions as well. She was asked what her husband’s (former president Bill Clinton) most annoying habit was. She answered, “No matter how tired he is, he always feels like he has to read before he goes to sleep. That means I have to get up and go around and turn the light off before I go to bed!” A video from this morning’s episode is below.

Clinton then went to Hartford, Connecticut where she attended a conversation on gun violence held at the Wilson-Gray YMCA. Clinton also met with families of victims of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. The discussion included families that have lost loved ones as a direct result of shootings or gun violence. During the 90-minute conversation, a number of the family members shared their stories, the group took questions from the audience, and Clinton said that she would fight for common sense gun control and the introduction of mandatory background checks before purchasing a firearm. She said, “If anything else was killing 33,000 Americans a year, we’d be doing something about it. I’m not here to make promises I can’t keep. But I will spend every day as President trying to get gun control.” A video from today’s event is below.

This evening, Clinton returned to New York City for a fundraiser hosted by Donna Zaccaro and Paul Ullman, Anne and John Zaccaro.

Topics covered included Benghazi and her plans for 2016. The interview was broken up in two sections, both of which are included in this post.

Ford Foundation

Wednesday, May 7, 2014

Hillary Rodham Clinton appeared at a Q&A session for the Ford Foundation in New York City. ABC News’ Robin Roberts moderated the discussion. A wide variety of topics were covered included the reopening of House hearings into the embassy attack in Benghazi, the kidnapping of nearly 300 teenage women in Nigeria, and the possibility of a possible presidential run in 2016. Roberts particularly pressured Clinton on 2016 saying that she was the best choice to crack the glass ceiling. Clinton replied, “I think we should crack it also. I am 100 percent in favor of that. But I have nothing further to say about my path right now.”
