Every member of my family was displaced by Katrina.
We were not republicans or democrats during Katrina. We truly were all Americans, and Trent Lott came through for me.
No one is demonizing or even saying anything as intemperate as Donald Trump has said about blacks living in squalor conditions.
Just got off the phone with my health care provider asking them to explain why my premium jumped up. No good answer!
Because of my faith and my imagination, I was able to enjoy my childhood, even though it was tough.
I know people have embraced Donald Trump. He may not have embraced them. But he has every - he should distance himself. This sort of alt-right movement is very disturbing.
I'm a reporter. I've been a big supporter of The Clinton Foundation. Back in 2001 and 2002, people forget that Bill Clinton went to Harlem and set this foundation up. They've helped millions of people across the globe and here in America.
No one is spreading any kind of rumors or saying anything about Donald Trump supporters or, for that matter, the supporters of Ted Cruz and everyone else.
I got to stick with what I know [about The Clinton Foundation]. I'm not an official of the State Department.
I've been a government official. I've been dealing with another situation, another e-mail situation. The DNC was the victim of a cybercrime, an attack. And that has been my focus, not the focus of another round of e-mail controversies.
There's no question that Donald Trump has said things that are very unsettling. I mean, whether it's comparing Mexicans to rapists, demonizing Muslim Americans, excoriating the federal judge who was handling the case.
Shirley Chisholm is another one [political hero]. She was a dynamic speaker, and the first black woman to run for President.
Barbara Jordan is one [of the political heroes]. Her 1976 speech in New York inspired me to get into politics.
It has been a long march to equality. We have cracked the door, and opened the window.
The nomination of John McCain is another milestone. So whether black, women, or bald, yes we can.
I want to just say something very, very personal. As you know, Louisiana has undergone a lot of flooding over the last couple of weeks August 2016. And I just want to thank the American people for their generosity and supporting so many victims of that terrible flooding.
Dr. [Martin Luther] King led a very historic march here in Washington, D.C. It was a march for jobs and freedom. It was a march to raise expectations that this country could live up to its ideals. I have watched this debate, this conversation [betwin Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump] about bigotry, about racism, I find it all misplaced.
Donald Trump has not held an event in the black community. He has not gone to a black church, as Hillary Clinton has done.
Hillary Clinton is talking to all Americans. She's talking about jobs, she's talking about how to make this country stronger in terms of our national security. She's talking about opportunity for our young people.
The economy is most important. It is off track.
We put up the very best cyber security - what I call infrastructure to stop them, but [hackers] constantly [didn't stop].
[Hackers] did not stop. They - they came after us absolutely every day until the end of the election. They tried to hack into our system repeatedly.
I think the president [Barack Obama] is right to call for a full investigation. Every federal agency involved should be - should put everything on the table, and the Democratic Party will put everything on the table.
[Glenn] Thrush's emails to [Hillary] Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta were splashed across screens in newspapers nationwide. Thrush was criticized for sharing a half dozen paragraphs of a draft of a story for Podesta to rebut. Some reporters do just that. Other newsrooms have policies discouraging or forbidding it. Thrush says he does the same for Republicans.
The Democratic Party would like to see an open independent bipartisan investigation [about hacking].
