That he should be asked the question. I asked him the question again, and i said yes or no . Have you ever worked for russia . Are you working for them now . He said very definitively, i have never worked for russia. This is the most definitive answer we have gotten from the president. Take a listen to that exchange from just moments ago. Mr. President , yes or no, have you or are you now, or have you ever worked for russia . I never worked for russia, and you know that answer better than anybody. Not only did i never work for russia, i think its a disgrace that you even ask that question. Because its a whole big fat hoax. Its just a hoax. Hallie, i also asked the president if he is aware of whether hes currently the subject of a counterintelligence investigation. He didnt an that question directly. He chose to lash out the fbi at the fact that the investigation was launched in the first place, went back to what we have heard so frequently from this president which is that its a hoax a
teflon like the president who want that to go away. if they can reframe it in the culture wedge issues like kneeling for the national anthem. that is the area where they take the president s tweet from and move back because that is more successful. let me reiterate. there are no racial tensions. ashley and eugene, good to see you. from the washington post. up next, a new twist in the nuclear game of chicken with iran and the united states. the latest claim from iran that has the lives of 17 of their citizens on the line. that s next. did you know you can save money by using dish soap to clean grease on more than dishes? try dawn ultra.
racist. 59% disagree with the content of the tweets. how is this a smart strategy? it is a fair question. there is a couple of ways to win the white house, right? you know, you get to 50% plus 1. what normally happens is the president comes in and tries to do what eugene mentioned. be a unifier. win over the moderate voters or swing voters who did not vote for him the first time around. the trump campaign says this is the strategy. there is another strategy they will talk about privately. that is you lock in the base and you try to expand the base with the people who they believe should be part of the base and trump supporters, but didn t show up and vote. the tweets that are racist and i forget the stat. 49% of the people believe were
radical compared to where we are. where we are is not a good thing. this idea of 10% better from garbage shouldn t be what we settle for. eugene, that is one example of how he has taken so much of what has been said out of context. he also said today in that oval office that there are not racial tensions. is this misinterpretation? what do you make of these things that he says? definitely intent to misrepresent his political opponents. we know trump supporters only look at fox news or conservative news outlets or only hisdoesn tg
