Description

On this episode of Flashpoint, WCNC's Ben Thompson talks with former NC Congressman, Robert Pittenger about his time along the Ukrainian border. Pittenger was in Bucharest planning a summer conference for the Parliamentary Intelligence Security Forum, which he currently serves as chairman. While there, Romanian officials took him to several refugee camps.

"Let me just commend the multiple nonprofit groups, thank the NGOs that have gone there in earnest to help these people. The coordination has been outstanding. The government has done a remarkable job in Romania," he said.

Later, Ben speaks with Republican Charlotte City Council at-large candidate, Charlie Mulligan and Larken Egleston about why he’s running at-large as opposed to trying to keep his D1 seat.

All of this and more on this week's episode of Flashpoint, only on WCNC Charlotte.
