trade rules, which would be against our interest. we got to be very concerned about the strategic plans that china has to try to dominate. neil: senator, a lot of people harken back with the protests, similarly back then, there was a call to protesters, you can continue doing this but you have to kind of wrap it up, the protesters obviously didn t wrap it up. what if in hong kong the protesters still hang out on the streets, they still continue to push for other reforms and the like, then what? well china, the government right now has a very low tolerance for protesters, to let them protest a little bit but if they get too organized too large of a group, too long in their protesting, they re going to end up in jail, so i think we need to continue to put international pressure on china to adhere to basic international human rights , and there has to be a
doesn t that mean by default it is not ending any time soon? yeah, and it could take a significant amount of time. under the law he would be able to get a law within 70 days. but the government felt they needed more time to go through it. mueller could have been wrapping up, but just on account of everything that was seized from roger stone they needed more time or may may still be going on. in the grand scheme of special council and independent council investigat investigations it has not gone on that long. it started in 1994 and it didn t wrap until 2001. given that, 33 or 34 individuals have been charged and it has
the virginia legislative black caucus issued a statement condemning the photo without recommending what the governor should do. quote, we are still processing what we have seen about the governor but unequivocally say that what has been revealed is disgusting, reprehensible and offensive. we feel complete betrayal. the legacy of slavery, racism and jim crow has been an albatross around the necks of african-americans for over 400 years. these pictures rip off the scabs of an excruciately painful history and are a reminder of this nation s sins. the democratic leader in the virginia state senate expressed support for governor northam tonight, saying in part that while the photo is, quote, very poor taste, i would think no one in the general assembly who would like their college conduct examined. i would hate to have to go back and examine my two years in the army. trust me, i was 18 years old and i was a handful, okay?
this is not in many ways this isn t about politics, it s about what we saw these pictures with ralph northam when he was 25 years old in 1984 is incredibly disturbing, it s shameful, it s horrific, because one of the things i really agree with with the virginia legislative black caucus, the statement they put out, is that it is a scab, it is a reminder of the racism, the slavery, jim crow, this country s original sin, and that s why ralph northam cannot make it through the weekend. i do not believe that is going to happen. and let s not forget, one of the constituencies that got him into office in november 2017 was the high turnout with black voters. can you imagine the betrayal that you possibly may feel as a virginia voter, black voter who went out in november 2017 to vote for him? so i just don t see it. i don t see how he can last. not only that, it s just what s right and what s wrong.
you know, eric swalwell was down here recently. all this action coming into south carolina. it s not clear at this point whether there is a definite front-runner in the state, but nonetheless, you know, everybody s doing a little dating right now. yeah. to gauge and see where these candidates really are on the issues that are most important to them. let s go through a couple of them really quickly. senator congressman clyburn, who you know very well, very important politician there in south carolina, has said biden is the candidate to beat. and at the same time, kamala harris has had some challenges with some parts of the african-american electorate because of her background as a prosecutor. biden helped write the crime bill. how does it play out between his ties to a bill that was very unpopular for hillary clinton and kamala harris time as a prosecutor? are either of those things going to become problematic for voters in the palmetto state? you know, one of the things that
