Bernie Sanders: I Don’t Owe Black Lives Matter An Apology
Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said he was unaware his staff had apologized to Black Lives Matter protesters and he doesn’t believe that he owes them one. After Black Lives Matter protesters stormed the stage at a Sanders event in Seattle, the Senator met with the group. When host Chuck Todd pointed out Sanders African-American outreach director Marcus Ferrell said in an email, “I apologize it took our campaign so long,” to have a meeting with Black Lives Matter activists, the Democratic presidential candidate said that was not necessary. Sanders said, “Well, that was sent out by a staffer, not by me. Look, we are reaching out to all kinds of groups, absolutely. I met with folks at Black Lives Matter. We’re reaching out to Latino groups. We’re reaching out to the unions. We’re fighting to expand Social Security, and we’re reaching out
Carly Fiorina: ‘It’s Not Clear to Me That Donald Trump Is a Republican’
Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Republican presidential candidate and former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina said it is not clear whether or not fellow candidate Donald Trump is a Republican. Fiorina said, “I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about, or focusing on what Donald Trump is saying. When his insults are below the belt to someone, then I will make a comment, just as I did when President Obama called anyone who disagreed with his Iranian deal equivalent to the hard-liners chanting ‘Death to America.’ I just think insults are not helpful to the political process. We’ve got a lot of serious issues here. But most of the time, I spend my time answering voters’ questions, and questions from the media.” She added, “Well, you know, it’s not clear to me that Donald Trump is a Republican, first of all, based upon his willingness to run a third-party
Fournier: A Year Ago I Would Have Considered Working For Clinton, Now I Don’t Know If I Trust Her
Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” National Journal Senior Political Columnist Ron Fournier said that a year ago he would have considered working for, and would have probably vote for Hillary Clinton, but now he doesn’t know if he can even trust her. Fournier argued, “A year ago, if you’d asked me ‘Hey, you would you consider working for Secretary Clinton?’ I’d say, ‘Yeah, I’d think about it.’ Six months ago if you’d said, ‘Hey would you vote for her?’ I’d say, ‘Yeah, I’m likely going to vote for her.’ Now I can’t tell you that I trust her. Because there are some big issues involved. I can’t tell you that I trust her with the Freedom of Information Act, and our public records. I can’t tell you I trust her with Congress’ right and responsibility to conduct oversight. I can’t tell you I respect her, with historian’s responsibility to

Graham: Trump is ‘Going Backward’ on Immigration and Could Take GOP With Him
Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Republican presidential candidate Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Republican frontrunner Donald Trump’s calls for “self-deportation” of the 11 million illegal immigrants currently in the Untied States is “going backward,” and could take the entire Republican Party with him. Graham stated, “our leading Republican is embracing self-deportation, that all the eleven million have to walk back from where they came from, and maybe we’ll let some of them come back. I just hope we don’t go down that road as a party. So, our leading contender, Mr. Trump, is going backward on immigration, and I think he’s going to take all of us with him if we don’t watch it.” Follow Pam Key On Twitter @pamkeyNEN

LOS ANGELES, California — Over 200 Iranians convened in Downtown L.A’s Grand Park on Saturday to show their support for the Iran deal, presenting it as a peace agreement between Iran and the world. A photo shoot and “peace” rally took place to coincide with other events similarly scheduled throughout America and the western world, including in Washington, D.C. and San Diego, California.
