BALDWIN: A Mississippi campground employee accused of pulling a gun on an African-American couple trying to find a picnic spot has been arrested. The couple took cell phone video of 70-year-old Ruby Howell approaching them with a gun at a campground. This is near Starkville, Mississippi. Franklin and Jessica Richardson said that they were simply looking for a picnic spot when they were approached by this woman with this gun, this worker who told them to leave because they didn't have a reservation.</s>JESSICA RICHARDSON, THREATENED WITH GUN: We could feel the intents behind it, you know? And so I felt it. I felt the heat from it. I felt it in her eyes. The gun was pointed at me, my husband. The fact that she used get, get, like we were a dog.</s>FRANKLIN RICHARDSON, THREATENED WITH GUN: And we weren't a threat to anybody. We were out there walking our dog. Nothing harmful about that. Go over there, don't have a gun pointed at you, come back in, first thing is you have a gun pointed at you. It's kind of crazy to think about.</s>BALDWIN: Howell is charged with a single count of threatening exhibition of a weapon. She turned herself in this morning and has since been released on a $500 bond. Also just in in what is shaping up to be quite the showdown, the Republican leader of the Senate just said that there is hardly any support in his caucus for the President's tariffs against Mexico.
