>> despite his numerous references to women that show him to be the sexist tea is, -- he is, my opponent stood with him. this goes to show everything for senator ayotte is a political calculation. she has been trying to walk back from calling donald trump a role model for children six days ago. kristen: ayotte says she will write in trump's running mate, indiana governor mike pence, for president. something hassan says people should hold ac live in studio, kristen carosa, wmur news 9. adam: thank you. the clinton campaign is also in damage control mode this weekend, although on a far lesser scale. wikileaks released another batch of hacked e-mails, including excerpts from speeches hillary clinton gave to wall street bankers, in which she allegedly said she wanted a common market for the western hemisphere. top campaign officials are calling into question the authenticity of the documents, -- the e-mails but they refuse
