Cleveland, July 22 (RHC)-- Delegates at the recently-concluded Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio were overwhelmingly white.  That’s according to the Republican Party’s own data, which says out of nearly 2,500 delegates, only 18 are African American. 

Statistics compiled by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies show that’s the fewest Black delegates at the Republican convention in at least a century. 

Meanwhile, one of Trump's white advisors said that Hillary Clinton should be executed.  While the Republican convention was marked by intense anger against Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, with many chanting "Lock her up, Lock her up" during speeches, the Trump advisor said she should face a firing squad.

New Hampshire State Representative Al Baldasaro made the comments while speaking on the conservative Boston radio show The Kuhner Report.  Al Baldasaro said: “This whole thing disgusts me, Hillary Clinton should be put in the firing line and shot for treason.”

Al Baldasaro advises Donald Trump on veteran issues.  And now he Secret Service has announced it is investigating him for his comments.
