>>> HE SPREADS THIS HATE AND HE DOES IT FOR NO OTHER REASON BUT
TO, ONE, INVIGORATE HIS BASE,
AND TWO, TO DIVIDE SO PEOPLE
DON’T NOTICE WHAT ELSE IS GOING
ON.
ON. >> HE MUST BE BLIND AND DEAF
BECAUSE IF HE DIDN’T HEAR WHAT
THEY WERE SAYING, I DON’T
UNDERSTAND IT.
UNDERSTAND IT. LOOK, THIS IS A GAME.
THIS IS ABOUT DIVIDING THE
COUNTRY.
COUNTRY. THIS IS ABOUT DIVIDING AND
RAISING THE ISSUE OF RACISM
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
>> SOME OF TRUMP’S OPPONENTS
BLASTING HIM AFTER THOSE "SEND
HER BACK" CHANTS ROSE UP FROM
THE AUDIENCE AT THAT RALLY IN
NORTH CAROLINA AND WENT 13
SECONDS BEFORE BEING INTERRUPTED
BY THE PRESIDENT.
THEY WERE, OF COURSE,
SPECIFICALLY TARGETING
SPECIFICALLY TARGETING CONGRESSWOMAN OMAR, ONE OF THE
FOUR CONGRESSWOMEN THE PRESIDENT
HAS SPENT THESE PAST FEW DAYS
ATTACKING.
ATTACKING. BERNIE SANDERS TODAY POSTED THAT
HE WAS WITH THE MINNESOTA
DEMOCRAT LAST NIGHT AS THE CROWD
STARTED CHANTING, HE SAID SHE
WAS UNFAZED AND HE WENT ON TO
WRITE, ILHAN HAS INCREDIBLE
COURAGE.
COURAGE. SHE WON’T BACK TO TRUMP’S HATE,
AND NEITHER WILL WE.
POLITICO MAGAZINE PUTS LAST
NIGHT INTO CONTEXT AND WE QUOTE,
EARLIER IN THE WEEK WHEN TRUMP
DEFENDED HIMSELF AGAINST CHARGES
OF RACISM, INSISTING MANY PEOPLE
AGREE WITH ME, IT WAS CROWDS
LIKE THESE HE ALMOST CERTAINLY
HAD IN MIND, BUT UNTIL RIGHT
THEN AND THERE, HE HADN’T HEARD
DIRECTLY FROM THEM.
A LIVE AUDIENCE FEEDING BACK
DIRECT PROOF THAT THIS WAS
SOMETHING HE COULD KEEP RUNNING
ON.
ON. BACK WITH US ARE A.B. AS TO THE
THE CARD AND ELIZA COLLINS.
I WANT TO PLAY SOMETHING FOR OUR
FRIEND, NICOLLE WALLACE ON THE
AIR JUST TODAY.
>> WHO IS THE DEMOCRATIC LEADER
WHO CAN SAY THIS IS A
DROP-EVERYTHING, GET ON AN
AIRPLANE, GO TO THE STEPS OF THE
CAPITOL, GO TO A CENTRAL
LOCATION IN DES MOINES, IOWA, GO
TO NEW HAMPSHIRE, HOLD HANDS
EVEN IF YOU HATE EACH OTHER AND
GOOD QUESTION.
GOOD QUESTION. THE DEMOCRATS ARE GOING THROUGH
THIS SO-CALLED PURITY TEST, THAT
THEY CAN WALK AND CHEW GUM AT
THE SAME TIME.
THAT THE SOCIETAL ISSUES THEY
WANT TO FIX, CAN BE IN THE FORM
OF A CANDIDATE.
DO YOU SEE A UNIFIER OUT THERE?
THE KIND OF PERSON THAT NICOLLE
WAS TALKING ABOUT?
>> THAT IS THE CENTRAL QUESTION.
JOE BIDEN IS STILL THE LEAD
POLLER.
POLLER. HE IS THE PERSON THAT MOST
PEOPLE HAVE EXPRESSED FAITH AND
CONFIDENCE IN, IN THEIR ONE
MISSION, TO BEAT DONALD TRUMP.
THIS IS A VERY DIVERSE PARTY.
THE CHANT LAST NIGHT WAS
REPUGNANT.
REPUGNANT. BUT HE KNOWS THERE’S A
CONSTITUENCY FOR THIS.
HE KNOWS THAT THERE IS.
HE KNOWS THAT ILAN OMAR ARE
GOING TO GIVE THIS NOMINEE A
HARD TIME.
HARD TIME. AND THEY WILL EXACT A PURITY
TEST ON WHOEVER ENDS UP LEADING
THE PARTY.
THE PARTY. IT WILL BE DIVISIVE.
THEY MIGHT SAY ANTI-SEMITIC
THINGS AGAIN.
THINGS AGAIN. AND HE WANTS THE PARTY.
HE WANTS LEADERS OF THE PARTY TO
BE MARRIED TO THESE FOUR.
THEY’RE MARRIED TO THEM.
WHILE THE SPEAKER WILL CONTINUE
TO FIGHT WITH THESE PEOPLE, WHEN
THEY GIVE HER A HARD TIME AND
SAY SHE’S CODDLING, YOU KNOW,
ABUSEA
ABUSEA ABUSERS AND DETENTION CENTERS BY
RUNNING THIS MONEY OFF AND NOT
DEMANDING MORE.
DEMANDING MORE. FROM REPUBLICANS, THIS IS A
CENTRAL QUESTION AMONG
DEMOCRATS.
DEMOCRATS. HOW WILL WE PULL TOGETHER BEHIND
A NOMINEE.
A NOMINEE. AND WHO WILL IT BE?
IT’S NO LONGER CLEAR IT’S JOE
BIDEN, UNLESS HE COMES BACK
FIGHTING AND DESCRIBES TO THE
PARTY THAT THE PATH FORWARD IS
THROUGH THE CENTER.
BUT HE WILL GET SO MUCH HEAT
FROM THE LEFT, FROM NOW UNTIL
THE END OF THIS RACE.
WE DON’T KNOW IF HE IS GOING TO
WIN IT.
WIN IT. >> ELIZA, USING YOUR POWERS OF
DESCRIPTION, WHAT MUST IT BE
LIKE FOR A REPUBLICAN MEMBER OF
CONGRESS, SAY A MEMBER OF
CONGRESS, THAT JUST SCOOTED BY
IN THE LAST ELECTION, TO DEFEND
AND PROTECT THAT SEAT WITH THIS
GOING ON?
GOING ON? >> INCREDIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE.
WE SAW SOME OF OUR COLLEAGUES ON
THE HILL, LIKE MARTHA McSALLY,
WHO LOST HER SENATE ELECTION IN
2018 AND WAS APPOINTED TO A
SEAT.
SEAT. SHE WAS ON HER PHONE EVERY TIME
THEY WALKED PAST REPORTERS.
THEY DO NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT
THIS.
THIS. WHILE THE BASE CERTAINLY DOES
AGREE WITH THE PRESIDENT, OR
HAVE ADEELED TO THE PRESIDENT ON
THIS, THERE’S A WHOLE LOT OF
AMERICANS THAT DEEPLY, DEEPLY
DISAGREE.
DISAGREE. THESE REPUBLICANS HAVE TO WIN
OVER A LOT MORE THAN THE BASE.
THEY CAN’T LOSE THE BASE.
THEY ARE IN A TOUGH PREDICAMENT.
UNTIL LAST NIGHT, REPUBLICANS
DID START TO COME OUT TODAY AND
CRITICIZED THE CHANTS.
BUT THEY WERE CAREFUL NOT TO
