In wake of Keith Scott shooting, Hillary Clinton visits Charlotte
CHARLOTTE -- Speaking at an African-American church here on Sunday, Hillary Clinton offered her prayers for the family members of Keith Lamont Scott and the many others who have lost loved ones to gun violence.
“We do more than pray,” Clinton said, speaking at Little Rock A.M.E. Zion Church in Charlotte. “Not everyone can march, but everyone can talk. And everyone can reach out. And everyone can vote.”
Clinton’s visit to the church was her first stop during a trip to Charlotte planned in the wake of Scott’s death and the protests that filled the city’s streets for the nights
that followed. Scott was shot and killed by a police officer on Sept. 20 and, while Clinton originally planned to travel here a week ago, her campaign postponed the trip after Charlotte’s mayor said in an interview that she would prefer candidates delay visiting.
Following worship at the Little Rock Church, Clinton was expected to meet with a group of young African-American men “to discuss the urgency of addressing racial, economic and social justice issues,” according to a campaign aide.
