What follows has been condensed for space, but it unfolded like this: Asked by anchor Alisyn Camerota about the Trump regime's failure to condemn a recent massacre in which six Muslims were killed by a white extremist in Quebec, Duffy allowed that, "Murder on both sides is wrong," but insisted, "There is a difference."
North Korea appeared to fire a ballistic missile early Sunday in what would be its first such test of the year and an implicit challenge to President Donald Trump, who stood with the Japanese leader as Shinzo Abe called the move "intolerable."

Community banks and small businesses are optimistic about changes the Trump administration and Congress have promised to laws that tightened supervision of the banking industry after the 2008 financial crisis.
