a fight on his hands, even despite having a pretty republican district there. now, my perspective is that mike bishop s strategy is not to come out of the bathroom until the election is over. i haven t seen him defending the president on the stump. michigan is a state where independent voters elect statewide candidates. and republican candidates here have the same problem they have in a lot of other states like michigan, you can t win a republican primary without wrapping yourself around the president and you can t win independent voters if you re wrapped around the president. i saw a mike bishop ad on tv and i didn t know if it was a republican, clean water, opioid epidemic, it was not build the wall. i thought that was interesting in terms of where he at least thinks the political measure of the district is. brian dickerson, lauren gibbons, and the state representative robbie. churchill s in flint, miss michigan is here with us, and tremain lee has a special report

under court order, the deadline tomorrow. all right. thanks so much. also developing news today out of minneapolis. police say they have made an arrest in the shooting of five people near a protest yesterday. according to reports, a 23-year-old white male has been taken into custody for opening fire on a black lives matter protest outside of minneapolis police station. the victims were taken to a hospital with nonlife threatening injuries. demonstrators have been inside the minneapolis police department s 4th precinct to protest the shooting of a 24-year-old earlier this month. with more on this developing story, i m joined by tremain lee. now yet another story. i wasn t familiar with the ongoing protests in minneapolis and now someone at the protest is a target. what s interesting is on the eve, the one-year anniversary, when darren wilson was found not indicted by a grand jury in st.
