time on with reporters and said the oval office just moments ago, he made some remarks on john bolton. he said, there have been some big mistakes made. take a look at north korea. he wanted to do things not necessarily tougher than me, but had a good relationship but not getting along with people in the administration. i will skip down. later the president says, john was not in line with everything we are doing, acting as policeman in afghanistan, hitting tell of than ever before. a lot of great people want that position. the bottom line, the president not happy with the fact he could not get along with others around him. now, the panel. alexander wilkes, former executive director at america rising pack. president of duckett strategies. doug schoen, former holster , for bill clinton, and a fox news contributor. great to have your. for the first time on camera, we sag
i think some of this perhaps can t be prevented. in this particular case, we have a former member of congress who was running for president and it happened in his hometown. so he has gone home and made this about his campaign. he said that the president should be more presidential and that he should turn down his rhetoric. then he dropped the f-bomb every other interview. i don t think that s very presidential. it is raising the heat, and we have reached the boiling point. when members of congress are saying we won t even welcomed the president of the united states of america to our community will need got a crisis going on, when he had a serious tragedy, that s alarming. if the president said immediately after, i m not going to come, they would have been outraged. now that he s coming, there s outrage. melissa: congressman lance gooden, thank you for joining us. let s bring in our power panel now. alexander wilkes former executive director of america
