Hillary Clinton today will deliver remarks about the
police-involved deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile while campaigning
alongside Vice President Joe Biden in his hometown of Scranton, Penn., as well
as during an appearance at the African-Methodist Episcopal Convention in
Philadelphia, according to a campaign aide.
Although this is the presumptive Democratic presidential
nominee’s first time campaigning with the vice president, the event will now
reflect the shootings of the two black men in Louisiana and Minnesota that have
resulted in protests throughout the country.”
…During both of her campaign events today, Clinton, an aide
said, will “renew her calls to ensure justice is served and will reemphasize
the urgent need to reform our broken criminal justice system.””
