Secretary clinton, youre not in the white house yet. A civil but contentious night for Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Side by side is on stage since the commanding New Hampshire victory up ended the primary fight. Again and again, clinton tried making one thing fair. She is the rightful heir to president obama. Today senator sanders said president obama failed the leadership test. This is not the first time he has criticized president obama. He has called him weak. He has called him a disappointment. It was a message for the voters of South Carolina, they are widely africanamerican. I do not expect for someone running for the democratic nomination to succeed president obama. Madam secretary, that is a low blow. The last time i heard a United States senator had the right to disagree with the president , including a president who has done such an extraordinary job. Bun of us ran against barack obama. I was not that candidate. Sanders had the final word. But it opened a new chapter.
Political topics. This is on the heels, of course, of the meeting with jim baker last week, for example, where we understand the two talked political strategy. Not so much the nuts and bolts of Foreign Policy. That said trump over the last week or so, the last couple of weeks since hes made the turn to the general election, has clearly been looking to solicit more input and advice from longtime conservative leaders, influence republicans, in many ways republicans who have been around for a long time, folks who have experience with this and looks to build his connection with washington and beef up some of those policy roles and views of how he looks at the world, you could say. We expect to have that happen at the kissinger meeting today and in a sign of other meetings trump has taken, craig, he just walked out of a meeting with influential evangelical leader van derplouffe, he had an endorsement of it ted cruz. Now meeting with donald trump telling myself, katy tur, that he has not end
The Democratic Convention is under way, officially gavelled, not by the party chairwoman, forced out yesterday, practically booed off the stage by her own delegation this morning. Party hoping acrimony will yield through unity throughout the week and taking steps as we speak right now. Also tonight, rolling out heavy hitters. New jersey senator cory booker, first Lady Michelle obama, senator Elizabeth Warren and runnerup Bernie Sanders. More on booing supporters gave them in a moment. First to our chief Political Correspondent dana bash joining us from the Convention Floor behind me with new efforts to try to contain the acrimony. Dana, as you know, Democratic Party is just issued a formal apology, public apology, to senator sanders. What more can you tell us . This happened not long after this convention formally gavelled open and it is a statement from Donna Brazile, who is now the interim chair of the party and other officers saying on behalf of everyone at the dnc, we want to offer
American people should be asking and answering. Madame secretary [ inaudible ] [ inaudible ] no, not at all, andrea. I went into the state Department Understanding classification. Ive been on the Senate Armed Services committee for years before i was secretary of state. I take classification seriously. In fact, i couldnt remember certain meetings, whether or not they had occurred, but that doesnt in any way affect the commitment that i had and still have to the treatment of classified material. In the back to jennifer. [ inaudible question ] [ inaudible ] i dont know anything about that. That was not something that i was aware of, and i think that the facts point out that there was no connection. It wasnt something that, as far as i understand, was related. With respect to the first question, i am not comfortable with using the word war. I dont want to use that. I think thats the kind of loose talk that weve had too much of in this campaign. I do view it as a threat from an adversarial
Former apprentice contestant, Summer Zervos said that trump in 2007 accosted her in his hotel room during what she said was supposed to be a meeting about a potential job opportunity. Here she is. He put me in an embrace and i tried to push him away. I pushed his chest to put space between us and i said, come on, man, get real. He repeated my words back to me, get real as he began thrusting his genitals. He tried to kiss me again, with my hands still on his chest, and i said, dude, youre tripping right now. Attempting to make it clear i was not interested. Well, late today, donald trump issued a statement denying the accusation of summer. Quote, to be clear, i never met her at a hotel or greeted her inappropriately a decade ago. That is not who i am as a person, and it is not how ive conducted my life. Beyond that, the media is now creating a theater of absurdity that threatens to tear our democratic process apart and poison the minds of the american public. When Gloria Allred is given
