During the CNN / TV One Ohio Democratic Town Hall, Hillary Clinton discussed which programs she would institute to curb violence and address poverty amongst poor White and Black communities.

Clinton said, “We need to close these loopholes — the so-call gun-show loopholes, the online loophole called the Charleston loophole.” She added gun makers and sellers “should be held accountable for the use of their products” in instances of the “random gun violence” plaguing America’s inner cities.

Roland Martin, host of TV One’s NewsOne Now, pressed Clinton to address how she would convince impoverished White Americans to support her campaign and economic policies.
