A week away. Serious questions about what this violence will mean at the ballot box, if anything, are arising. The president is falling back on his campaign playbook, in the meantime. Instead of uniting, hes dividing, blaming the media for the toxic political environment and continuing to target some of the same democrats who were the targets of sayocs bomb. Today in what looks like an effort to radically change the subject, trump is going even farther right on immigration. He is sending troops to the border, refusing to rule out suspending habeas corpus, and now claiming he can overturn a constitutional amendment all by himself. It was always told to me you needed a constitutional amendment. Guess what, you dont. Number one, you dont need that. Thats very much in dispute. You can definitely do it with an act of congress. Now theyre saying i can do it just with an executive order. How ridiculous. Were the only country in the world where a person comes in, has a baby, and the baby is es
Born free, and President Trump is threatening a constitutional crisis over birth right citizenship, and taking the hardest line yet on immigration a week before midterm elections. We are the only person in the world that a perp comes in, and has a baby and that baby is a citizen for 85 years. It is ridiculous. And with seven days to go, obama and joe biden trying to take back those voters who turned to trump. This is not your fathers Republican Party, man. These are a bunch of different dudes. You have a different Republican Party in the United States congress that knows better. They know better than to give this guy the cover they are giving him. A different bunch of dudes. Good day, everyone. Im Andrea Mitchell where President Trump is stirring up controversy ahead of the midterms on wo two fronts. His response to the pittsburgh massacre, and his hot cracktown on immigration. The president is flying to pittsburgh despite concerns for the mayor and victims families to give them time t
Concerning. And just a real human being and we would use the word menche. People are all part of the community, part of that fabric of what the community is. The people that were there saturday morning were doing what they do and that was worshipping in their safe space and that is what is so horrific about what happened to rose and cecil and david and the rest of our friends. Taken into my hospital and shouting i want to kill all the jews. Whats really tough is you see these events happening all over the country and the world and we dont know if its going to happen. We want the know when its going to happen. We turn to the leaders of our country. Weve got to stop hate and cant be just to say. We need to stop hate. We need to do. We need to act. Oftentimes after these Mass Shootings we get caught up in the whys and the howes of what happened and right now for this second, for this moment, lets focus on the ones who lost their lives. Joyce fienberg was 75, a mother of two sons. A resear
Birthright citizenship. Under current interpretations of american law, anyone born on our soil automatically becomes a u. S. Citizen. Context is irrelevant. It doesnt matter if your parents were tourists or illegal aliens or foreign saboteurs, if their plane was forced down to refuel and you emerged. It doesnt matter. If you were born on our property you are a citizen. In a recent interview with axios President Trump suggested this is not a great deal for america. He pledged to change it with an executive order. It seems likely that would abolish birth tourism, thats where people travel to the unit state solely for the purpose of having kids and winning citizenship as long as the many benefits that follow from that. Nobody else in washington is waiting for details. If they hate already. The very same people who spent decades trying to got the got the bill of rights are now lecturing the rest of us that the idea is, brace herself, unconstitutional. Paul ryan for example, the outgoing sp
The vigil is formally getting under way right now in pittsburgh. Even though people have been out in very large numbers all day long, theyre sharing their sadness, their support, their unity and resolve near the place where this hateful thing happened. These are the names released by city officials this morning. The eight men and three women killed. One of them, 97 years old. Victims of one mans hate. A man who reportedly told Police Officer and im quoting him now, i just want to kill jews. Cnns sara sidner is in pittsburgh for us. First of all, tell us how people there are honoring the 11 victims and theyre dealing with this horror. Through music, through prayers. People have been hugging one another. They have been welcoming anyone who wants to come and bring their words to this ceremony. It is an interfaith ceremony. You have people from churches, from synagogues, people coming in who are muslim, who are jewish, who are christian. It doesnt matter your background, your creed, your c
