5:30Now PlayingCNN recently edited Hillary Clinton’s comments regarding the bombs in NYC and New Jersey. Why did they do this? Ben Mankiewicz, Wes Clark Jr., Michael Shure, and Brett Erlich, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"CNN edited out the opening sentence of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's statement during breaking news coverage of an explosion in New York City that injured 29 people.
Clinton was on board her campaign plane Saturday night when she addressed the press following the explosion in New York's Chelsea neighborhood.
According to an ABC News transcript below, Clinton called the attacks in New York and New Jersey "bombings" before criticizing Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump — who also referred to the explosion as a "bomb" — in an attempt to show contrast between the temperament of the two candidates, who are deadlocked in the polls.
Clinton: I’ve been briefed about bombings in New York and New Jersey, and the attacks in Minnesota. Obviously, we need to do everything we can to support our first responders, also to pray for the victims. We have to let this investigation unfold. We’ve been in touch with various officials, including the mayor’s office in New York, to learn what they are discovering as they conduct this investigation. And I’ll have more to say about it when we actually know the facts.”*
