some who love greene, some who definitely don t. but very few of them will actually openly talk on camera. the reason being, in the district they re afraid. they re afraid of the backlash they ll face even if they support the congresswoman or they oppose her, the backlash that could come from friends, neighbors, co-workers, or even strangers. they believe it s safer to stay silent, and that is definitely a worrisome trend. brianna? joining me now is april ryan, a white house correspondent and washington bureau chief for the grio and cnn political commentator alison stewart, a strategy. alice, to you first. what do you think of the congresswoman s comments?

it s always great to see you. and this letter which was delivered to my former outlet, the grio, is pretty scathing. you and your colleagues write, it was errantly exclaimed that this is probably going to be the most pro black president we ve had. was he being pro black while building his political platform which was fueled by racism? was he being pro black when he equivocated in charlottesville that left one person dead and dozens injured declaring there was violence on both sides. you were grabbed off the air suddenly as you witnessed that violence firsthand. why in your view did those pastors go to the white house and sing the praises of a president who praised the people who did that as very fine people? good morning, joy. thank you for having me on and i am interested in answering that
be the next president. i am told by aides close to him that we re going to hear a similar speech today. he s not going to be in attack mode. the strategy right now is just to make for make sure that the former president stays on message, that he doesn t go off track like we saw back in 2008. we might see him ramp up his rhetoric to make her closing argument. she is ahead in the polls here in iowa, and she s catching up to bernie sanders in new hampshire. of course, that s a state he s from the neighboring state, vermont, so he s had a strong lead there. meanwhile, she s picking up a key endorsement today, jose. it is from the cbc chair, butterfield. here s what he told the grio in an op-ed. quote, the black community matters and the black votes matter which is why i publicly and proudly support hillary clinton for president. she has the record, foresight and passion to improve the lives
been really about, it was criminal justice reform. he s already made it a focal point. i admire that you think he can convene a national conversation. i truly believe the president feels the kumbaya time is over. it is time for executive action. the danger i feel on gun reform is that it will end up the same way as executive action on immigration, it will prompt a lawsuit, it will be tied up in courts and there won t be any movement until he s out of office. to me, that s in part the question here about whether the use of executive authority on one hand is this kind of wait and make a thing get done, but also has this the final year of a president s term is also the year of a presidential election. it has real consequences. the grio asked whether 2016 would be president s blackest year yet. and i presume that they re talking in part with a i m presuming they re talking about
