>>> WE HAVE A PRESIDENT WITH TOXIC TONGUE THAT EMBRACED THE
POLITICAL STRATEGY OF HATE,
RACISM AND DIVISION.
OUR PRESIDENT HAS MORE IN COMMON
WITH GEORGE WALLACE THAN HE DOES
WITH GEORGE WASHINGTON.
BOTH CLEAR LANGUAGE AND IN CODE.
THIS PRESIDENT HAS FANNED THE
TLAM
TLAM FLAMES OF WHITE SUPREMACY IN
THIS NATION.
THIS NATION. HIS INCOMPETENCE.
HIS INCOMPETENCE. HIS I’M MORNMORALITY, HIS CARNAG
STOPS WITH US RIGHT HERE, RIGHT
NOW.
NOW. >> SO THERE WAS THAT TODAY 2020
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES USING
STARK LANGUAGE AS YOU JUST HEARD
TO DESCRIBE THE PRESIDENT’S
RACIST RHETORIC THAT SENTIMENT
THERE ECHOED TODAY BY EL PASO
NATIVE BETO O’ROURKE RUNNING FOR
PRESIDENT, ALSO HAPPENED TO BE
THE TARGET OF A DONALD TRUMP
TWEET MOCKING HIS NAME AND
TELLING HIM TO BE QUIET.
>> YOU’VE BEEN VERY CLEAR YOU
BELIEVE THE PRESIDENT IS RACIST.
IS THE PRESIDENT A WHITE SUP
SUPREMACIST?
SUPREMACIST? >> HE IS.
>> HE IS. HE’S DUHEHUMANIZED OR SOUGHT TO
THAT DO NOT LOOK LIKE OR PRAY
LIKE THE MAJORITY HERE IN THIS
COUNTRY.
COUNTRY. HE SAID I WISH WE HAD MORE
IMMIGRANTS FROM NORDIC
COUNTRIES.
COUNTRIES. HE’S BEEN VERY CLEAR ABOUT WHO
HE PREFERS TO BE IN THIS COUNTRY
AND WHO HE LITERALLY WANTS TO
KEEP OUT.
KEEP OUT. >> COUPLE SIDE BARS, I GUESS
WE’RE SAYING THAT NOW AND A LOT
OF DEMOCRATS WANT MR. O’ROURKE
TO STAY WHERE HE IS AND RUN FOR
SENATE IN TEXAS INSTEAD.
BACK TO THE PRESIDENT, HE HAD
THIS RESPONSE TODAY BEFORE
LEAVING THE WHITE HOUSE.
>> SO MY CRITICS ARE POLITICAL
PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO MAKE
POINTS IN MANY CASES THEY ARE
RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT AND THEY
ARE VERY LOW IN THE POLLS.
COUPLE OF THEM IN PARTICULAR,
VERY LOW IN THE POLLS.
IF YOU LOOK AT DAYTON, THAT WAS
A PERSON THAT SUPPORTED I GUESS
YOU WOULD SAY BERNIE SANDERS I
UNDERSTOOD, ANTIFA I UNDERSTOOD,
ELIZABETH WARREN, I UNDERSTAND.
HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH PRESIDENT
TRUMP.
TRUMP. >> BACK WITH US AGAIN TONIGHT,
JONATHAN ALLEN NBC NEWS NATIONAL
POLITICAL REPORTER AND TIM
O’BRYAN ALSO HAPPENS TO BE THE
AUTHOR OF TRUMP NATION, THE ART
OF BEING THE DONALD.
GENTLEMAN, WELCOME TO YOU BOTH.
TIM, AS TRUMP WHISPERER, I HAVE
A TWEET TO READ YOU.
THERE IS ALWAYS A TWEET.
THIS IS ABOUT RACISM JUST
TONIGHT.
TONIGHT. THE DEMOCRATS NEW WEAPON IS
THEIR OLD WEAPON, ONE WHICH THEY
NEVER SEIZE TO USE WHEN THEY ARE
DOWN OR RUN OUT OF FACTS,
RACISM, THEY ARE TRULY
DISGUSTING.
DISGUSTING. I WILL BE PUTTING OUT A LIST OF
PEOPLE SO RIDICULOUSLY ACCUSED.
WHAT IS THAT?
>> THIS IS ALSO THE MAN WHO TWO
DAYS AGO WAS SAYING IT WAS TIME
FOR UNITY AND FOR BIPARTISAN
UNSON ADDRESSING THE PROBLEMS
FACING THE COUNTRY.
THIS IS DONALD TRUMP REVERTING
TO FORM.
TO FORM. THIS IS DONALD TRUMP
GASLIGHTING.
GASLIGHTING. IT’S CLASSIC.
IT’S CLASSIC. >> DEFINE WHAT THAT TERM MEANS.
>> WHEN YOU ACCUSE SOMEONE OF
SOMETHING YOU’VE BEEN DOING
YOURSELF IN ORDINARY TORE MAER T
THEM.
THEM. THERE IS NOT AN EXPERT TO MANY
THINGS BUT TRYING TO MAKE PEOPLE
SPIN IN THE WIND.
IT ALSO WE NEED NO MORE.
IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BOUNCING OFF
OF HIM BUT THE FACT IS IN
NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, I’M THE
LEAST RACIST PERSON IN THE
WORLD.
WORLD. HE’S SAYING NO DEMOCRATS, YOU’RE
RACIST.
RACIST. ALL OF THIS STARTED TO RESIDE
WITH HIM AND THAT IS EVIDENCE OF
THAT.
THAT. >> TO QUOTE YOU, THE PRESIDENT
HAD ONE JOB TODAY.
WHAT WAS IT?
>> THE PRESIDENT’S JOB TODAY WAS
VERY SIMPLE.
VERY SIMPLE. GO TODAY DAYTON, OHIO, GO TO EL
PASO, TEXAS, MEET WITH VICTIMS
OF THE HORRIFIC SHOOTINGS, MEET
WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT, MEET WITH
THE PEOPLE WHO TREATED THE
VICTIMS AND CONSOLE THE NATION,
AND HE DID A LITTLE BIT OF THAT
AND THEN HE SPENT THE REST OF
THE DAY INSULTING OTHER PEOPLE
ON TWITTER, INSULTING OTHER
PEOPLE IN COMMENTS TO REPORTERS.
HE HAD THAT ONE JOB AND IT WAS
THE ONE THING HE COULD DO TO END
THE DAY WITH WHAT SURELY THE
WHITE HOUSE WANTED WHEN IT HAD
PHOTO OFPS IN DAYTON AND EL PASO
TO BE CALLED PRESIDENTIAL.
THIS IS DAY 930 I BELIEVE YOU
SAID AT THE TOP OF THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION AND IT IS JUST
LIKE EVERY OTHER DAY OF THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WHERE HE
HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO END THE
DAY BEING SEEN AS PRESIDENTIAL
AND DID NOT END THE DAY HAVING
DONE THAT JOB.
>> TIM, JOE BIDEN WAS STRONG
TODAY.
TODAY. COREYY BOOKER WAS STRONG TODAY.
AS SOMEONE WITH BETTER THAN
WORKING KNOWLEDGE HOW DONALD
TRUMP WORKS, YOU’RE NOT ADVISING
DEMOCRATS BUT HOW WOULD YOU
ADVICE CANDIDATES TO COME AT
THEM, HANDLE THINGS BEING CALLED
RACIST BY DONALD TRUMP?
>> THIS IS A WARMUP TO WHAT THEY
WILL EXPERIENCE NOW UP UNTIL
NEXT NOVEMBER.
NEXT NOVEMBER. A YEAR FROM THIS NOVEMBER.
I THINK WHAT THEY NEED TO DO IS
STAND STRONG AND COME BAKCK AT
TRUMP AS MUCH AS THEY ARE COMING
AT THEM.
AT THEM. THIS IS A GOOD ONE FOR DEMOCRATS
DEMOCRATS.
DEMOCRATS. THEY ARE SPEAKING TO THE PEOPLE
THAT CARE ABOUT THEM.
THEY ARE SPEAKING ABOUT THE
ISSUES THEY CARE ABOUT.
MOST OF THE STUFF IS NOT IN THE
PRESIDENT’S WHEELHOUSE.
PRESIDENT’S WHEELHOUSE. HE’S NOT AUTHENTICALLY EPITHET
TICK.
TICK. HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT RACE
RELATIONS AND I THINK HE’S A
PROFOUND RACIST, AND SO HE CAN’T
REALLY ESCAPE HIMSELF IN THESE
SITUATIONS.
SITUATIONS. HE’S NOT SOMEONE THAT WILL HEAL
THE NATION IN A MOMENT LIKE
THIS, AND I THINK THAT’S WHY YOU
SEE THE DEMOCRATS SURGING IN
THIS MOTION BUT THESE MOMENTS
CAN PASS QUICKLY, TOO.
>> JOHN, THINK ABOUT THE KIND OF
WAVE WASH OF ALL OF THIS.
TONIGHT, EQUINOX AND SOUL CYCLE
ARE GETTING MEMBERSHIP
CANCELLATIONS BECAUSE THE HEAD
OF THEIR PARENT COMPANY IS
HAVING A FUNDRAISER FOR DONALD
TRUMP IN THE HAMPTONS FRIDAY
NIGHT.
NIGHT. TONIGHT FOX NEWS IS HAVING A
LITTLE BIT OF TAMOLT TUCKER
DENOUNCES WHITE SUPREMACY, ALL
OF THIS IN THE ORBIT OF THIS
PRESIDENT.
PRESIDENT. >> I MEAN, I THINK WE’RE GOING
THROUGH AND I THINK EDDIE TALKED
ABOUT THIS RECENTLY ON THIS
NETWORK.
NETWORK. >> DRAMATIC.
>> DRAMATIC. >> VERY DRAMATICALLY AND VERY
PROFOUNDLY ABOUT HOW WE GO
THROUGH THIS GENERATIONALLY AND
THERE IS THIS CONTINUING FIGHT
THAT GOES ON AND WE KEEP SEEING
IT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND
WE’RE SEEING IT AGAIN AND DONALD
TRUMP HAS BROUGHT IT TO THE
FLOOR AND WE’RE CONFRONTING THIS
DEEP DIVISION OVER RACE ONCE
AGAIN.
AGAIN. AND WHAT I THINK IS, WHAT I
THINK IS SO DIFFICULT ABOUT THIS
IS THIS PRESIDENT IS SOMETHING
WE HAVE NOT SEEN IN CERTAINLY IN
GENERATIONS, WHICH IS A
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
WHO HAS SEEN RACIAL DIVISION IN
THIS COUNTRY AND DECIDED NOT TO
PAPER IT OVER, NOT TO TRY TO
HEAL IT, BUT TRY TO EXPLOIT IT
FOR HIS OWN POLITICAL GAIN, FOR
HIS OWN PERSONAL GAIN AND AT THE
RISK OF VIOLENCE IN THE COUNTRY.
AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS SO
DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE HAVE SEEN
NOT ONLY IN MY LIFETIME BUT
BEFORE THAT WE HEARD JOE BIDEN
BEFORE TALK ABOUT PRESIDENT
TRUMP BEING CLOSER TO GEORGE
WALLACE THAN GEORGE WASHINGTON
AND I THINK FOR A LOT OF
AMERICANS, I’M 43.
I WAS BORN IN 1975.
I KNOW WHO GEORGE WALLACE IS BUT
I DIDN’T WATCH HIM IN ACTION.
THAT’S AN OLD REFERENCE.
GEORGE WALLACE WAS NEVER
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
HE DIDN’T GET CLOSE TO THE
PRESIDENCY --
PRESIDENCY -- >> COMMAND --
>> DIDN’T GET ANYWHERE CLOSE TO
IT.
IT. THE PERSON WHO WAS PRESIDENT IN
THE GEORGE WALLACE ERA WAS
LYNDON JOHNSON SIGNING CIVIL
RIGHTS LAWS BEFORE LYNDON
JOHNSON, YOU HAD JOHN F KENNEDY
WORKING ON A CIVIL RIGHTS
PLATFORM AND YOU HAD DWIGHT
EISENHOWER WHO SENT FEDERAL
TROOPS TO LITTLE ROOK TO
INTEGRATE THE HIGH SCHOOL.
SO WE HAVE HAD GENERATIONS OF
THE PRESIDENT ACTING IN A WAY TO
TRY TO HEAL RACIAL DIVISION
CERTAINLY FROM THE PRESIDENCY
EVEN IF THE CAMPAIGNS WEREN’T
ALWAYS LIKE THAT AND NOW YOU
HAVE A PRESIDENT THAT IS SEEKING
TO EXPLOIT IT FOR POLITICAL GAIN
