and other national leaders condemning what the president has said. it s not surprising he opted kind of he often puts kind of things like this out there. we try to track them down in the press that simply don t seem to be based in truth. christine, filmmaker michael moore recently told seth meyers how michigan turned from red to blue in 2018 with a strategy first used by republicans. moore said democrats should use it to get more voters to the polls. watch this. i want to talk about strategy because you called this last time. talk about what happened to michigan in 2018. last november michigan sadly went red for trump in 2016. but this past november we brought it back to blue. and we kicked out all of the republicans in the state capitol and we got the governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state, and we kicked out two republicans, congressmen, in suburban
an attack line to go after elijah cummings after he started probing into his family. this is not surprising. this is something that i expect he is going to return to time and time again. it s a play that he believes is strong for his base. i think one of the big questions i have, you have a lot of members of congress who are going to be going back home for several weeks. they re going to be talking to their constituents. if this comes up, how do republicans respond particularly when it comes to some suburban voters, women suburban voters right now have been very turned off according to recent reports by some of the rhetoric the president has employed. so where did they fall down in this? is this something where they push back against the president, or is it yet again another time where republicans kind of just try to look down and move past what the president is doing on racial issues? john harwood, one of the things that helped president trump win in 2016 was his promise and pledge
