election day, concerns about voter intimidation continue to percolate often in reference to my hometown of philadelphia, but many of the reports of past intimidation can be traced back to a viral video of an incident in the 2008 election that has been widely misrepresented. i went back to the site to file this report. this is 1221 fair mount avenue. this is a housing development known as guild house west. if it looks familiar, no doubt that s because of an incident that took place on election day john mccain against barack obama. there s a guy with a billy club right here. video recorded here bay poll watcher went viral and has since been associated with voter intimidation. but that s not the full story. and he was not a police officer. he was not proper security. he was a member of the new black panther party. that was november 4, 2008, to
be exact. stephen morris then a university of pennsylvania student was certified as a republican poll watcher and video taped his peaceful encounter with the new black panthers. i know they are radicals of a radical party. they are complete and udder outliers and people like that will certainly exist in the united states and elsewhere around the world, but what were they doing there? i have no idea. others thought they knew. 12:41 eastern time that day, the drudge reports top linked headline was black panthers block access to voting station and drudge kept posting on the story even adding footage throughout the day. but here is what really happened. the man with the night stick was asked by police to leave. he did without incident. the other man, well, he was a certified poll watcher. he got to stay. the district attorney s office says there were no complaints of intimidation, nevertheless, this incident has been a rallying cry for those who claim elections
saw the new black panthers come out and supposedly try to intimidate voters at a voting location, however, those voters they were try to be intimidate turned out to be a falsehood, it wasn t a true moment. listen, he s doing it he has his reasons but for him to in the election he s got to talk about ideas and how to governor. he s got to talk about how he s going to be the leader of the free world and stop talking about this, because while it might get some of his voters riled up and get them out to vote, he also needs to win the middle, and this doesn t help you win the middle. it doesn t have a sense of desperation to it. this is the poll surprising state poll numbers. texas, university of houston finds trump is 41%, clinton, 38%, just three points ahead. no republican candidate has lost texas by less than 11 points since 2000. could hillary clinton actually win texas, gloria? i don t think so.
they re highly democratic. what s going on here? what s he trying to say with this? isn t the irony about illinois is he s not going to win illinois and when he s talking about chicago, he s talking about the 1960s and kennedys win and there was some kind of fraud back then in order to get jfk the presidency and did his father do it. so, the idea that he s going to chicago, harkens back to a time most voters in the election have any understanding of it. when he talks about philadelphia, he s trying to reach back to the point where we saw the new black panthers come out and supposedly tray to intimidate voters at a voting location, however, those voters they were try to be intimidate turned out to be a falsehood, it wasn t a true moment. listen, he s doing it he has his raeeasons but for him to in with the election he s got to talk about ideas and how to governor. he s got to talk about how he s going to be the leader of the free world and stop talking about this, because while it
with the organization here in south carolina and haven t heard a thing from them. and what makes this so bad, six months ago nine people at emanuel ame church died with the symbol of the klansman. it is blocks away from the church. it is a slap in the face to the black community and the people in charleston, south carolina. we cannot sit back an allow this to happen when the new black panthers came to charleston and spreading that hate, national action network spoke out about it. to tell them to take that hate back to where they came from. we have hate here in charleston. we have to do something about this. every morning we wake up it from broadway street to the
