A bombshell excerpt from former Democratic National Committee Chairman Donna Brazile's new presidential election memoir suggests that party leaders, under the direction of former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's campaign, "rigged" the nomination in her favor — and according to Massachusetts U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, that's exactly what happened.
The Cambridge Democrat admitted as much during an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper.
BOSTON — State legislators at long last have reached agreement on a supplemental budget to close out spending for fiscal year 2017, and according to a statement by a prominent Boston Democrat, a key compromise included an outright ban on bump-fire stocks, the add-on equipment a gunman apparently used to maximize casualties during last month's shooting spree in Las Vegas.
According to the final conference committee report, lawmakers opted to include the Senate's more specific proposal as part of the $129.3 million budget. The Senate amendment specifically bans bump-fire stocks and trigger cranks. The proposal out of the Senate was tweaked, however, to stipulate that owners of such equipment would have 90 days to get rid of them, with even sales to out-of-state buyers where ownership of the gear is legal being barred, meaning the only option for those who own them is to dump them in the trash.
