Hillary Clinton on Good Morning America, Campaigns in CT

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.

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.
