0:00.0	You will not share your personal views on whether it is right or wrong to re-institute
0:08.1	discriminatory policies in this country to prevent black people from voting?
0:13.3	Senator, my personal views are irrelevant.
0:15.8	Yeah, so that was Senator Murphy cross-examining Donald Trump's pick to be the ambassador for South Africa.
