He has supporters like david duke connected with the ku klux klan. Do you want White Supremacists to vote for you . No, i dont. Ku klux klan values, david duke values, donald trump are not american values. Whoever committed this act, i pray for that person. Rodney earl sanders charged with two counts of murder in connection with the death of two nuns. They live their lives to make the world better for people who have nothing. At least ten water rescues occurred overnight in kansas city as a flash flood emergency

Were starting with the arrests this morning as what mississippi authorities describe as a heinous crime, two nuns stabbed to death in their homes. Police say this man, Rodney Harrison broke into the house and killed them. Authorities are trying to figure out why that happened. They were serving one of the states poorest countries. When they didnt show up for work, their coworkers called police. Their car was left abandoned more than a mile away from their home. Friends and family say theyre going to remember these two as outgoing and compassionate. Its sad, my aunt and sister
margaret, they lived their lives to try to make the world better for the people who have nothing. Now, a wake is going to be held tomorrow for sister held and sister merril. And a memorial mass is for sunday as well. A national day of mourning meanwhile in central italy just days after this earthquake hit that area. Right now, funerals for dozens of victims. Italys Prime Minister and president expected to attend services for just 40 victims. Just today, the death toll now 290. The depth of devastation was sinking in as the critical window to find more survives alive passes. Heres what were dealing with. Hundreds of aftershocks. You can imagine how thats hampering the ongoing Recovery Efforts here. 2100 people are living in make shift tents right now. Well continue to follow this throughout the day.

The National Weather service calling this extremely dangerous and lifethreatening situation here. And when you look at the video, you can understand why its getting that classification. The roads obviously impassible. You see the roofs of some vehicles here, anyone who tried to drive through it, they watched their cars sink through. Ch crews have been working around the clock to rescue people trapped by those floods. To make matters worse, much of the power is out. They go into the cars they wade into the water with flashlights looking in to make sure nobody is inside. This flash flood is part of a severe water system that brought tornado and hail. For residents reporting downed tree limbs and branches in the streets. No sign of any damage to buildings, and so far, were told that no one is hurt. Again, when you take a look at those pictures, you have to feel for those people there and what theyre dealing with this morning. Tim kaine is launching a bold new line of attack against donald trump linking the gop nominee to the values of the kkk, watch. Hey, good morning, victor and christi, donald trump advisers always seem to invite a little controversy. This time, Trumps Campaign chief is in the headlines. Reporter Trumps Campaign chief steve bannon is drawing fire. Latest shakeup was designed to, quote, let trump be trump. To do that, he hired Steven Bannon the head of a right wing website called breitbart. Com. Reporter now bannon was
charged with Domestic Violence stemming from a 1996 incident involving his then wife. According to documents obtained by cnn an argument over money allegedly got physical an bannons then wife said she wanted a divorce. It wrote she appeared as if she was upset and had been crying. I saw her eyes were red and watery. She first said, oh, thank you, you are here. The report says she fought back, got away from bannon and dialed 911. Neither a Trump Campaign spokesperson or bannon returned a call for comment. And with the Corey Lewandowski and the defending rape accusations, and the trump
attorney Michael Cohen argued, quote, of course, understand by the very definition, you cant rape your spouse. Trump friend and unofficial adviser roger ailes left fox news that he founded following allegations of sexual harassment. I asked Trumps Campaign manager Kellyanne Conway if this could affect the Trump Campaign, she gave me a definitive answer, no. And that was it. And when asked if trump knew about the domestic case against bannon, he said, quote, i dont know what he was aware of a 20year claim when the charges were dropped. Lets bring in cnn our political commentator, and Scotty Nell Hughes and a. Scott
bolden. Good morning. Good morning, victor. After the speech from Hillary Clinton thursday, we heard this last night from her running mate tim kaine about donald trump and his values. He has supporters like david duke connected with the ku klux klan going around saying donald trump is their candidate because donald trump is pushing their values. Ku klux klan value, david duke values, donald trump are not american values. Theyre not our values, and weve got to do all we can to fight, to push back and in. All right. Donald trump is pushing their values, ku klux klan values. David duke values. I want you, scott, to listen to what tim kaine said in his first joint interview after joining the ticket about the rhetoric of this campaign. Lets watch that from 60 minutes. When i see this crooked hillary or lock her up, its
ridiculo ridiculous. It is ridiculous. Its beneath the kind of character of dialogue we should have. And most of us stopped the name calling thing about the fifth grade. He was there criticizing donald trump. Do his comments last night meet his own standards, scott . I think so, because there wasnt any name calling. And remember, i dont like the rhetoric about bigotry and back and forth. Donald trump is a dangerous candidate, not because of innuendo or conjecture but because of who he has surrounded himself with the ceo of breitbart, because of statements that are offensive to muslims, mex anicans and africanamerica. I think thats fair game, especially since hes unfit. And he doesnt have the temperament. 70 of americans believe hes a racist and a bigot. You cant run from both numbers. You cant win the presidency with those numbers. Scottie. Well, whats bad about all of this, weve had the race card on this. Is this a horrendous week for Hillary Clinton starting off with where donald trump showed leadership going down to louisiana and helping them on the ground. While shes doing fundraisers in maine and barack obama playing golf. Thats how the week got started off. And the fbi emails. None of that were talking about right now because she gave the speech and introduced the emotion of rape into it. Had donald trump not introduced that before, especially with the judge saying that hes a mexican, although an american of mexican heritage, that he could not be objective. Had donald trump not introduced race months ago . If you dont think its obviously to distract whats going on. Now that shes opened up pandoras box. Lets talk about pandoras balk, the grand dragon, kkk, will craig endorsing Hillary Clinton going to rallies. Talking about why he supports. And 2010 saying he was noble and her mentor. Scottie, i hear you here, let me ask you about this, scottie. I dont mean to cut you off. Well have you here throughout the morning but ive got to get this number in, because its not just what were hearing from the Clinton Campaign and clinton and kaine, voters in the quinnipiac poll on thursday, 59 polled said they agree the way donald trump talks appeals to bigotry. This is not something that is created by the Clinton Campaign, is this not a real problem with voters, with what donald trump says at least . Its not just donald trump, this is a broken record of the
democrats. They do this every election cycle. They paint republicans as being racists. At this time in 2012, mitt romney was polling zero with the Africanamerican Community and being termed a race the. George w. Bush say racist. This is what they do. It works because it pulls to the emotion. If you think that it workforce the communities, obviously when youre looking at more people now on food stamps. Less Home Ownership within the africanamerican communities, theres a problem. Why dont they look for a solution to be pandering which is exactly what shes doing. Scott, let me come to you, after the clinton speech on thursday, there was no huge rush of republican lawmakers of conservatives not committed to the campaign, to defend donald trump against this. But after these comments by tim kaine we are seeing that. Has senator kaine stepped on the clinton message . No, i dont think so at all. Listen, those 60 of the voters are those 60 of the voters are not getting these racist and support of bigotry from anyone but donald trump. He has brought this on himself. Because if you look at the citation information the report in his own words, hes bringing it on himself. Whats more telling is, is that after hes been accused of all of these things, not one republican leader has tweeted or come out to defend him. The report in the Washington Post that raised that question. So, now, i dont think tim kaine is stepping on the message. Hes carrying forth the message that Hillary Clinton laid out a couple days ago that is, again, documented, it had citations and reports. And used Donald Trumps own words against him. And republicans Going Forward against him. And were going to can i get hold on, hold on. Without the teleprompter he hold on. Hold on. Scottie, well bring you back first after the break.

I wasnt done, by the way. Well get back to you, scott. And republicans are trying to
get involved because its such a problem nowadays and were trying to get solutions. But youre not seeing any democrats step up to defend Hillary Clinton on the bigot either. It has a large connotation with race, it doesnt just have to do with race, guys. It has to do with someone who is small minded and draws hate from a group. Whether you agree with it or not, Hillary Clintons speech is very bigoted towards conservatives, right wing, tea partiers. But you dont have Team Standing up and saying, hey, shes not a bigot among the Republican Party. The week started with clinton facing scrutiny over her emails. With the state department speech. She changed the narrative connecting donald trump to
conservative group, the altright. Lets go to Brian Stelter to give us details. Reporter while donald trump says hes seeking minority voter. I think were going to do great with africanamericans and hispanics reporter Hillary Clinton is trying to draw trump to altright. Propelling the term altright into the national spotlight. Explain to us what altright is. Reporter the answer depends on who you ask. Its just a dressed up version of the american neonazi movement. Reporter breitbart. Com, the website shared by steve bannon has proudly led the charge. Last month, bannon told mother jones, were the plat for the altright. Clinton is seizing on the connection, calling the altright disturbing and extreme. So what is it, exactly . Its a home, a place where we can be with people like ourselves. Reporter video blogger says the movement which started online several years ago is about ethnic nationalism. Race that is under assault fuels the altright which stands opposed to both progressive and mainstream conservative thought. Supporters say theyre not racist or divisive but thats what critics charge. I spent 20 years trying to say conservatives are not racists. Were not misogya soggenists. Reporter trump is a favorite of the mostly young mostly white men who identify as altright. We cannot afford to be so politically correct anymore. Reporter nativism and even racial separatism are themes of altright websites that embrace
trump. But some of the loudest adherents say theyre just being provocative. Milo has been the face of the media with stunts though hes now been banned from twitter. He represents the best hope we have. Breaking taboos, allowing real debate to be had again. Scott, let me come to you. Before we ran that package, scottie brought up a point. And ill put it to you, is it fair to make donald trump, or hold him responsible, for the views of the altright, considering he says he doesnt want the votes of White Supremacists, white nationalists. Is it fair to hold him accountable for all of their views . Well, of course, it is. Because he feeds that narrative. Its one thing for them to say i dont want the white nationalists or the ku klux klan
vote even though david duke and the altright are big supporters of his, they are because he feeds that narrative. And hes not afraid because that expands or rather energizes his base. You cant have it both bways. And say im part of the nazi party and then feed the policy of immigration on building a wall on the religious test for muslims. On africanamericans being unemployed and poor and being shot in their communities. This all feeds that negative narrative. And then you combine the breitbart with his campaign, you defend it and say, listen, i want to expand my base. Youre not going to expand your base, you energize it. And theres not enough of that base to get him to the political end zone of the presidency. Hes only got 70 days left. Hes run out of time. Hes dug himself a hole. But hes going to have to live
with breitbart and the neonazi conservative issues that hes into their narrative. He denies that. Scottie, if donald trump brings in steve bannon to be the ceo of his campaign, a man who ran breitbart, breitbart claimed proudly to be the platform of the altright, does he not deserve all of the criticism that comes, if you choose steve bannon to run your campaign . Exactly. I honestly know steve bannon and breitbart. Its a popular website. Popular not meaning its ethical or right. Just to claim numbers doesnt mean much, does it . Im telling you the numbers on it to come out and claim the whole group is neonazi and
racist. Thats like wee turning around calling the alternate left that they are bombers. None of that. And thats not fair to do. Hold on, scott. May i remind you, where i said the grand dragon of the kkk in california is endorsing Hillary Clinton. She has more of an outspoken support from the kkk than donald trump. Whether you dont want to hear it thats ridiculous. Its true. Youve got robert bair who is using the n word on interviews with tony snow in 2001 repeatedly saying it. And on emails making fun of an africanamerican womans name. These are staffers. Scottie, email whatever your claim is about the grand dragon of the kkk. Id push back against it if i had more details. I simply dont know. I dont know that the grand dragon of the kkk is endorsing anybody. Give me that name and details. Scott, youve got 15 seconds. The whole idea of Hillary Clinton being a bigot, shes walk the wall with diversity advocating for africanamericans and children and women historically. So she really doesnt need to be defended by democrats and ive never heard of this grand dragon endorsing her, if he has, thats ironic, because trump has driven it that way. Every time weve had you cant do both at the same time. Hillary clinton is not a bigot thats why that claim by him falls to a thud, if you will. He is the height of pronouncement. He just makes hes pronouncements because hes narcissistic about it, he wants you to believe it because he believes it. He cant get it done. He doesnt even know how to sustain bigotry or talk to people of color. This is ridiculous. Ill be looking for the details. Send it to me, too, by the way. Thank you, both. All right. Listen, we want to talk about the cousin of an nba superstar was killed in chicago overnight. And weve been talking about whats happening in chicago for mo
