At a campaign rally for his wife Hillary last night, Bill Clinton argued for more than ten minutes with Black Lives Matter activists, angry that criminal justice reforms passed during his presidency led to high incarceration rates among African-Americans.

Meanwhile Ted Cruz tried to explain what he meant when he criticized rival Donald Trump's "New York values," and Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders continued to trade barbs about presidential qualifications.
