- Yusef Salaam, an exonerated Central Park Five member who was wrongfully accused of raping a jogger and spent seven years in prison, has won the Democratic primary for the NYC council seat. He joins "CNN This Morning" to discuss his journey. #CNN #News
So proud of Yusef Salaam. A living example of triumph and grace. All the very best from a fellow American living abroad.
He speaks so beautifully. He made me cry
He is what we need in politics. Serious, well spoken and real life experience
This is the standard we need to uphold not race, religion, gender or who you love.
It is about fulfilling our purpose

I have rooted for this man and his friends for all the years they suffered wrongly and since. I am in awe at how much he (and they) have done and continue to wish the absolute best!

0:24 "before DNA evidence emerged..." You should say "Before the prosecutors got their finger out of that dark place and actually EXAMINED THE EVIDENCE."
The DNA was not missing or hiding. The legal system just COULDN'T BE BOTHERED to examine the evidence. I'm sure Trump had a lot to do with the delay. BAAASTURD!!!
I guess that the black man (free) could go and visit the orange man (in prison).

Trump arrested more sex traffickers than any prez in history and tried to secure the border to stop it.
The Dems blocked him, encouraging a huge increase in sex trafficking.

Same thing with Emmett Till, didn’t do anything and died innocent.
This is prime example of the type of person that should be in office. If you have gone through a struggle, loss or any kind of persecution then it is likely that you will be a voice and champion for the people. This is why privileged people do not belong in public office.

Well said says a CNN viewer. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
There is Senator Tim Scott. Oops, he’s a Republican. Also there are Vivek Ramaswami and Will Hurd running for president. That makes three that are supposed to be Democrats, oops on the Democrats and their authoritarian rule over Blacks. CNN mustn’t let viewers know that there are Black Republicans. Until the 1960’s most Blacks were Republicans. Then Democrat President Lyndon Johnson lured Blacks with welfare money if the Dad left his family, that broke up many Black families but the mother received the welfare checks. But this network must continue with their two tier endorsements which is bad bad spin for any Republican, wonderful spin for any Democrat. Wish more Democratic voters knew what was in the Democratic Platform, it’s tyranny and Left extremism. 😧

So true, sad that most people don't get it. What you give you eventually get back.
Big respect for this man. I pray that he stays strong and true to his vision and turns his back on the corruption of politics
What an intelligent well spoken man. I don’t know how he could not bitter but instead is trying to do something positive. I would vote for him. I would like to see him win because I think we need someone like him.
What a thoroughly grounded, incredibly articulate man. A deep thinker who is now positioned to make a difference for others. And how refreshing to hear a man of faith quietly and eloquently state how he has been supported throughout unbelievably trying times by unseen forces. A big change from the extreme conservative so-called Christians who try to flog others and bend them to their archaic 'old world' belief systems. An incredible inspiration to all, I wish him great success in life.
As a black woman. I would like to say you make me so proud.
Mr. Salaam's integrity and fortitude is subliminal. Wow...talk about living out your purpose! Bravo!
I want mr biden😢as a president of my country
Can you gave to us American
Being a black man in America I am aspired by this man's testimony the way he speaks the calmness in his voice makes me stronger he gives me more compassion for others as we should be on this planet
I thank this man for his message. I'm so sorry for the hardship he indured. 😟
This is redemption, I feel a shiver going down my spine when I think of Yusef and where he is now,,, thank God♥️
What an articulate thoughtful young man. I hope his future is very bright.
I AM SO PROUD OF THIS MAN !
I fully understand what he went through. I to was accused of a crime i didnt commit and sat in a stockade for thirty days facing 30 years in prison. Thank God that he has come full circle to lead the people and fight for equality that some of us take for granted.
He is a shining example of triumph over adversity. May God continue to bless him.
Congratulations Yusef! May your love and understanding of the falsely accused bring you presence of mind to fight for the less fortunate.
I'm always amazed how Republicans are always screaming that they are believers and people of Faith.... But it seems to me that the Democrats show better faith and character! I was a lifelong Republican until Donald Trump and I'll never be a republican again in life!
@jamescox1806, I know right? Like Joe said “It’s my catholic upbringing and faith that guides my family and my approach to my job “ why are they picking on him?
@@RandyWatson-MAGAyour golden cow is a criminal!
@RandyWatson… dementia beat Trump’s insanity of keeping innocent people in prison because he doesn’t like the color of their skin!
Trump should be locked up for all the crimes he committed.. it is so easy to find something that he is guilty of
Trump was a democrat back then
@@deloresosborne2818 yep, the most corrupt former president in American history!
How wonderful this country would be if we had more people like him, making decisions as far as the direction of it.
I salute this man ….. he so deserves all of the positive return
It’s sickening how much racism is stitched into the fabric of society. I literally still experience it which is no shock there. I am so happy to see someone who has received redemption from this evil and is going high while the other went low. Good on him! So very proud of this man!
Racism in America is clearly a mental illness and because it mostly effects white folks is exactly why they haven't labeled it as such nor have they begun to put an end to it, smh. So it continues, trump and the MAGA republican party anyone!
Gods people are verypowerful 👣
unfortunately both side racism never be fix all politician guilty for this mess who name people by ethnic not American that is every were around world you go to Russia you will see more
@@henrykarndt Don't blame the behaviors of millions of people on the words of a few hundred. Ignorance is the enemy. Lack of education, lack of multilevel thinking, we should be ashamed of humanity as a whole. Even the good folks are not angels because the good folks don't work together to end the behaviors of the bad folks. EVERYONE IS GUILTY, including you.
He is a brilliant gentleman.. I have followed his story and the other guys who were framed....
