now that trump has won, i believe the trump side will let it rest. a prominent black female newscaster got found out and fired for the fiasco.
that person i'm referring to is donna brazile, interim chairwoman of the dnc and cnn commentator at that time....with clear conflict of interest.
"Palmieri, telling her it would appear at the Democratic town hall:
19 states and the District of Columbia have banned the death penalty. 31 states, including Ohio, still have the death penalty. According to the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, since 1973, 156 people have been on death row and later set free. Since 1976, 1,414 people have been executed in the U.S. That’s 11% of Americans who were sentenced to die, but later exonerated and freed. Should Ohio and the 30 other states join the current list and abolish the death penalty?
A similarly-worded question about the death penalty was posed at the town hall. Here is what TV host Roland Martin asked during the event:
Secretary Clinton, since 1976, we have executed 1,414 people in this country. Since 1973, 156 who were convicted have been exonerated from the death row. This gentleman here is one of them. This is Ricky Jackson, wrongfully convicted of murder in 1975, he spent 39 years in prison. He is undecided. Ricky, what is your question?
The host went on to introduce a voter, Ricky Jackson, a man who was formerly on death row in Ohio. The wording of Martin’s introduction and of what Jackson says is a bit different from what Brazile sent over. But Politico obtained an email exchange reportedly between Roland Martin and CNN producers ahead of the debate, and in that email, Martin sends over the death penalty question, and it is 100 percent identical to what Brazile sent Palmieri. Every single word and punctuation mark is exactly the same."
