you find him the cause of this conversation we are having now? yeah, i think so. just look at the tweet in response to the congresswoman. low iq. be careful what you wish for. with a threat at the end of the tweet. maxine stepped in it like i said in the beginning and opened up a door that we are now talking about what she did as opposed to how the president handled and behaved in these situations with respect to the children. that little vignette that you shared with us, again i think it tells us what the truth is and where the origins of a lot of this lies. why we now should be of a mind to say wait a minute, this is a two-way street. you don t just get to look at others and say you can t see or do this or behave a certain way. we are watching what you are saying. that is unacceptable given the position you have as president.
quickly to call that a bad idea and equally bad precedent in the discussion having over civility or the lack of it in our politics. for one thing, it gave a huge opening to the president who said this today. congresswoman maxine water, a low iq person has become together with nancy pelosi the face of the democrat party. the president writes she called for harm to supporters of which there are many of the make america great again movement. be careful what you wish for, max. congresswoman waters replied on this network with chris hayes. i did not call for harm for anybody. the president lied again. as a matter of fact, i believe in peaceful protest. all of this is an issue because of the trump administration official who is have been publicly confronted in just these past few days.
reasons including religion or the color of their skin and what if during the obama era,a republican era of congress had said wherever you see these people, surround them and confront them. i know it s what aboutism, but take on the question. no, i think it s very much that kind of reality check. we know life would have been very different, the outcome would have been different and the responses would have been different. for me the take away from what maxine did is stepped in it. she tried to do trump. the only person who can do trump is trump. that s what s unfortunate about this. it s a space unto which only he occupies. a space in which others revolving around it protect this president in that response. what maxine did when you consider all the other stuff that has gone before it is consistent with what is going on in the country. the reaction to her that she is
atmosphere. and you re going to either be a winner or a loser. i think as time goes on, that really begins to wear on people. because quite frankly in an organization, you have to have some friends. and it really raises a doubt in everybody s mind what team you re on or if anybody is on your own team. i think that s just poor management. oh this firing that we ve been seeing of the shortest chief of staff in american history, would you expect more of that? oh, i think there s no question, erin, that s going to happen. this is a president who has always gotten fascinated with people very quickly, even people with limited experience, and consequently, once these people are put on the stage, whether it s in business or at the white house, they just can t succeed. jack, thank you very much for your insight. appreciate it. thank you, erin. next, jeanne moos on congresswoman maxine water s
steve: all right. it is 27 minutes before the top of the hour on this buyy tuesday. last night on the house floor, congresswoman maxine water of los angeles who has in the past reminded folks my mission and goal is to make sure that he does not remain president of the united states had quite a speech. in front of the house. brian: here is 41 second of it. this is probably all you will be able to tolerate. we have suffered discrimination. we have suffered isolation. and undermining. but we stand up for america. oftentimes when others who think they re more patriotic, who say they are more patriotic do not. when we fight against this president, and we point out how dangerous he is for this society and for this country, we re fighting for the democracy. we re fighting for america. we re saying to those who say they re patriotic but they turn a blind eye to the
