President Barack Obama responded to the recent shootings across the country by holding a nationally televised town hall Thursday night focusing on race, called The President and the People: A National Conversation.
The president’s words in the wake of the shootings have attracted a fair amount of critics, perhaps none more harsh than Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who believes the president was not supportive enough of police. Patrick was present at the Town Hall and used the opportunity to challenge the president, face to face.
