Ajamu baraka is a longtime human rights activist and the founding executive director of the u. S. Human Rights Network and coordinator of the u. S. Based black left unity Networks Committee on international affairs. Today we air highlights from our expanding the debate special. We begin with moderator Elaine Quijano of cbs news. Senator kaine, on the campaign trail, you praised secretary clintons character, including her commitment to public service. Yet 60 of voters do not think she is trustworthy. Why do so many people distrust her . Is a because that questions about her emails and the Clinton Foundation . Mr. Kaine elaine, let me tell you why i trust Hillary Clinton. Heres what people should look at as they look at a Public Servant. Do they have a passion in their life that showed up before they were in public life . And have they held onto that passion throughout their life, regardless of whether they were in office or not, succeeding or failing . Hillary clinton has that passion. From a time as a kid ia Methodist Youth Group in the suburbs of chicago, she has been focused on serving others with a special focus on empowering families and kids. As a civil rights lawyer in the south, with the childrens defense fund, first lady of arkansas and this country, senator, secretary of state, its always been about putting others first. And thats a sharp contrast with donald trump. Donald trump always puts himself first. He built a business career, in the words of one of his own campaign staffers, off the backs of the little guy. And as a candidate, he started his campaign with a speech where he called mexicans rapists and criminals, and he has pursued the discredited and really outrageous lie that president obama wasnt born in the United States. It is so painful to suggest that we go back to think about these days where an africanamerican could not be a citizen of the United States. And i cant imagine how governor pence can defend the insult driven selfish me first style of donald trump. Governor pence, let me ask you, you have said donald trump is thoughtful compassionate, and steady. Yet 67 of voters feel he is a risky choice and 65 feel he does not have the right kind of temperament to be president. Why do so Many Americans think mr. Trump is simply too erratic . Mr. Pence well, let me let me say first and foremost that, senator, you and Hillary Clinton would know a lot about an insultdriven campaign. It really is remarkable. At a time when literally, in the wake of Hillary Clintons tenure as secretary of state, where she was the architect of the obama administrations Foreign Policy, we see entire portions of the world, particularly the wider middle east, literally spinning out of control. I mean, the situation were watching hour by hour in syria today is the result of the failed Foreign Policy and the weak Foreign Policy that Hillary Clinton helped lead in this administration and create. The newly emboldened the aggression of russia, whether it was in ukraine or now theyre heavyhanded approach mr. Kaine you guys love russia. You both have said mr. Pence their heavyhanded approach. Well, were going to get to russia in just a moment. But i do want to get back to the question at mr. Pence but in the midst elaine, thank you. Thank you. Thank you, senator, ill mr. Kaine these guys have praised Vladimir Putin as a great leader yes, and we will get to that, senator. We do have that coming up here. But in the meantime, the questions mr. Pence well, senator, i must have hit a why the disconnect . Mr. Pence because at a time of great challenge in the life of this nation, where weve weakened americas place in the world, stifled americas economy, the campaign of Hillary Clinton and tim kaine has been an avalanche of insults. Look, to get to your question about trustworthiness, donald trump has built a business through hard times and through good times. Hes brought an extraordinary business acumen. Hes employed tens of thousands of people in this country. Mr. Kaine and paid few taxes and lost a billion a year. And why the disconnect with your running mate . Mr. Pence but theres a theres a reason why people question the trustworthiness of Hillary Clinton. And thats because theyre paying attention. I mean, the reality is, when she was secretary of state, senator, come on. She had a Clinton Foundation accepting contributions from foreign governments. Mr. Kaine you are Donald Trumps apprentice. Let me talk about this mr. Pence senator, i think im still on my time. Mr. Kaine well, i think isnt this a discussion . This is our open discussion. Mr. Kaine yeah, lets talk about the state of mr. Pence well, let me interrupt let me interrupt you and finish my sentence, if i can. The Clinton Foundation accepted foreign contributions from foreign governments and foreign donors while she was secretary of state. Mr. Kaine ok, now i can weigh in. Mr. Pence she had a private server senator, you have an opportunity to respond. Mr. Kaine governor pence governor pence doesnt think the worlds going so well and he, you know, is going to say its everybodys fault. Mr
