CNN Democratic Town Hall: The Young Turks Summary
Bernie didn't name specific people, but he did talk about the demilitarization of the police and various policy changes he would like to make. Hillary named a lot of people who had been victims of gun violence though she was vague on policy.
The question was specifically about the Beyoncé boycott by the police. Hillary "wants to work this out together." She's on Beyoncé's side, she's on the cops' side. She's a parser who wanted to have it both ways — and that may work in South Carolina.
"People got to hear whatever they wanted from that answer, and she stretched out the answer long enough that by the end you didn't care," said host Cenk Uygur. "If this Hillary Clinton ran in 2004 she would have slaughtered John Kerry," Uygur claims.
