Description
-
Harvey Gantt answers questions from several reporters on Jesse Helms, and speaks on his disappointment with Helm's campaign tactics attempting to paint Gantt as a "left-wing nut" and outside of the mainstream by taking Gantt's words out of context. Gantt expresses his belief that Helms is running a dishonest campaign and calls him out for controlling the terms of public appearances and avoiding an open debate.
