Clinton Lectures Black Couple About Crime Bill, Issues Non-Apology

FEATURING JODY ARMOUR – Former president Bill Clinton is under fire for off-the-cuff remarks he made at a campaign event for his wife in New York last week. During his speech a couple of activists held banners that read “Clinton Crime Bill Destroyed Our Communities.”

Later, the president said he almost wanted to apologize for what he said.
