Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin said she has not had any conversation with Donald Trump's staff about being vice president. Fallin: Trump 'trying to campaign as a racial healer'

Donald Trump has tried to campaign as someone who can bridge racial divides, Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin said Sunday.

"I think he's trying to campaign as a racial healer," Fallin said on CNN's "State of the Union." "I think that has been part of his message, if you watch what he said this week, you know he talked about how devastating it was for Dallas, how we need to respect our law enforcement, how we need to pray for those who are killed and those who are injured. I think that is his intent; I trust him with his words, and I think we all need to move towards being compassionate, loving, healing, but yet also respecting our law enforcement."


The presumptive Republican nominee released a video Friday decrying the deaths of two black men in Louisiana and Minnesota at the hands of police officers. In the video, he not only urged greater respect for law enforcement but also said that the incidents, which were followed by the Dallas police shooting, "make clear how much more work we have to do to make every American feel that their safety is protected."

"Racial divisions have gotten worse, not better," Trump said in the video.

Fallin, whose name has been mentioned as a possible running mate, said that regardless of the candidate, the country needs to work toward unity and safety in communities.

The Oklahoma governor said she has not had any conversations with Trump's staff about being vice president and has not been asked to provide any information for vetting purposes, calling it "a great honor to be mentioned."
