Democratic candidates Town Hall. Oregon militia members. Minorities and the cops. Media coverage of Sanders vs. Clinton. Flint water crisis. Cenk hosting today. At last night’s Democratic Townhall debate, controversy surrounded a question from a kid that slipped up and said, “I can see why they gave you this question” when it was supposed to be from the constituents. Video of the moment in question that made people ask if the questions were planted for Hillary from CNN. Cenk points out that Clinton has a history of planting questions. Video of her answer to the question. The kid that asked the question tweeted that it really was his question that was submitted to CNN for any candidate. Cenk rules that the kid was telling the truth, and that it wasn’t planted. One militia member in Oregon is upset that Christie called for them to be dismantled so he challenged him to a sumo match. Video of his challenge. Another story from the militia members was caught on police body cams when they arrested one heading to Oregon to help protect the other patriots. Video of the conflict where he was arrested for DUI and threatened to kill all of the cops. Cenk imagines what happens to minority citizens that have run ins with cops when they don't’ have a gun or threaten death. Cenk sorts through the stark difference between how Bernie Sanders was treated and questioned at the Townhall event vs the way Hillary Clinton was quizzed. Videos of Chris Cuomo grilling Sanders, boasting big government, tax hikes, & punishment for the rich despite Bernie’s clear explanations of how his policies would lower costs for Americans. Video of how Cuomo embraced Clinton in his 1st three questions that touted her. A Vine video of Bernie saying we will raise taxes was put up and tweeted about without the context of his answer. Video of the answer in context. News outlets ran with headlines that simply said Bernie vows to raise taxes. All of the headlines declared Sanders said, “Yes We Will.” Updates on Flint, Michigan’s lead tainted water crisis. Governor Snyder has been exposed to have responded to emails that warned him of the danger in providing water from the Flint River for the city’s supply, showing that they went with it anyway. He also gave away billions of dollars to corporations that funded his campaign, who told him to go with this water supply. After all of this, he then begged the Federal government for money to bail the city out of the mess he put it into with corporate welfare.
