Senator chris murphy rep
Not a simple question, not a fair question. Sit down, i understand the rest of your question. So heres the story, folks. Number one, i am the least antisemitic person that youve seen in your entire life. Number two, racism, the least racist person. In fact, we did very well relative to other people running as a republican. Quiet, quiet, quiet. He lied, he was going to get up and ask a straight, simple question. Welcome to the world of the media. Let me tell you something that i hate the charge, i find it repulsive. I hate the question because people that know me, and you heard the prime minister, you heard netanyahu yesterday, did you hear him . Bibi. He said ive known donald trump for a long time, and then he said, forget it. So you should take that instead of having to get up and ask a very insulting question like that. Go ahead. Just shows you about the press. Thats the way the press is. Reporter thank you, mr. President. Lisa dejardin from the bbs news hour. On National Security an
