Clinton pays tribute to slain Jewish DNC staffer
Hillary Clinton pays tribute to Jewish DNC staffer Seth Rich, who was shot dead in Washington, DC on Sunday.
“He was just 27 years old,” she says. “Surely we can agree weapons of war have no place on the streets of America.”
She also addresses the racial tensions in the US, in the wake of the killing of black men by police and the subsequent fatal shooting of five Dallas cops by a black US Army veteran.
“These have been difficult days for America. We have to begin by starting to listen to each other,” she says. “We then have to come together to do something that will help us fix these problems and heal these wounds.”
