The Democratic National Convention got off to an interesting start Monday. Most notable was the controversy surrounding Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who was forced to resign after a series of leaked emails revealed that the congresswoman had essentially rigged the primaries so that Hillary Clinton would be able to beat Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Understandably, many Sanders supporters were upset with party leaders and booed them on several occasions.
Things calmed down a little during the evening, and Fox News host Megyn Kelly asked Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke for his take on the convention speech by Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., that bashed Republican nominee Donald Trump.
Clarke said that Booker “talked all around a big problem for the Democrats this fall, and that is their flawed candidate, Mrs. Bill Clinton, who should have been under criminal indictment. She’s a confirmed liar. She left people to die in Benghazi. … That stuff matters to the American people.”
Clarke declared that Trump is the “law and order candidate,” and compared him with the Democratic convention, which he said seemed more interested in advocating for lawbreakers. “This DNC seems to be about embracing criminality and criminal behavior, trying to mainstream criminal behavior,” Clarke said.
Kelly noted that Tuesday night, “the mother of Michael Brown, the 18-year-old who was killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, among other mothers of African-American men who were killed at the hands of police officers, will take to the stage.”
