racist? >> mr. president, will you respond to these serious questions about your statement, sir? >> >> mr. president, are you a racist? brian: does that bother you? >> it does. i had so many friends there happy to celebrate dr. king's legacy and happy to celebrate that proclamation. but then the entire story was all about not about the words that were spoken there but all about the president's comments, you know, days before. and i think that's problematic. because for american families they want to be able to just enjoy a holiday free from all of the top trending political stories. brian: jeremy, let me ask you asking. served in the military doesn't matter if you are black or white. that's what i get from your op-ed. whether you are the president and like whether dick durbin came forward, you are the president and saw everything that happened or didn't happen, what would do you today. >> i'm not the president. quite low on the totem pole,
