charles thomas: any response, congresswoman? rep.ted his apology and at the we should focus on the issues. the problem is he often says things he does not think through. he recently called the president a drug dealer in chief and he therred to him as barack same obama using a dog whistler term to disparage him. that is not acceptable language coming from united states senator. let's talk about the issues. i would like to touch back on what we should be doing for folks in underserved communities. i talked about making college affordable and we must invest in our educational system and that means we should be there in our schools, we should provide for infrastructure development, provide for the stem education programs so these kids have a shot at the american dream like any other kid, no matter where they live. moderator: senator, you have 30 seconds to respond. sen. kirk: i would say sometimes, charles, i have been too quick to turn of phrase. some of those things i have already apologized for. once you comes out, you realize it was

charles thomas, next question for you. >> i want to ask the question. why did you vote for mitch mcconnell in the senate, majority leader, given the fact you have such profound differences with him and some of the leadership? >> when i stood for the election, i said i was pro-choice, pro-gun-control. i will be pro-whatever hillary is. the leader understands that somebody coming from hillary is going to have tend to the left. >> wide vote for him? pro-lifemcconnell is and anti-gun-control. i disagree with him. you disagree with out being disagreeable. >> do you ask him to say about this? >> i said he has to make his case. he doesn't take any real
