- In an interview on CNN on Sunday, Gary Johnson discussed his Democratic and Republican rivals, condemning Trump for making “racist” statements and defending Clinton against accusations that she committed a crime with her private email server use. “[Trump] has said 100 things that would disqualify anyone else from running for president but doesn't seem to affect him,” Johnson said. He added of Hillary, "I'm not a stone-thrower when it comes to Hillary Clinton and her emails and her server. I don't think there has been criminal intent on Hillary Clinton's part. I don't see an indictment." Johnson also said that he would consider ending the drone program. “Look, if we're attacked, we're going to attack back, but these drone strikes do have the unintended consequences of killing innocent people. Try to put yourselves in the shoes of families that have been affected,” he said.
