On the campaign trail today in Erie, Pennsylvania, former President Bill Clinton addressed yesterday’s heated confrontation with Black Lives Matter protesters at a Philadelphia campaign event.
“I did something yesterday in Philadelphia. I almost want to apologize for it, but I want to use it as an example of the danger threatening our country because the founders set this country up so that we could keep growing and being bigger and including more people,” he said.
Clinton explained that he wanted to have a conversation with the protesters and acknowledged that he should have responded differently.
"I rather vigorously defended my wife, as I am wont to do, and I realized finally I was talking past [a protester] the way she was talking past me," said Clinton. "We gotta stop that in this country. We gotta listen to each other again."
