effective in getting under the president s skin. we will remind you what happened with lavar ball on cnn s air that clearly motivated the president. he is clearly referencing what happened in the interview we did. here s your reminder. i have to know what somebody is doing before i say thank you. i m not just going around saying thank you. you come and shake new hand and meet me or my son or anybody and say maybe i can help you out. let s do it that way. just because people say things, you know, it s supposed to be true. hey, i stopped them from saving 10 years. maybe we were doing some talking with some other people before you even got there. the president, errol hates, obviously, by every indication, that lavar ball won t say thank you and keeps poking at the idea that he didn t do anything to get people out of china. he didn t do what people think he did. this is true. and you know he s playing a game. lavar ball is kind of doing a trump to trump.
president trump breaking his week-long silence and supporting roy moore despite the sex abuse allegations against roy moore. look, he denies it. if you look at what is really going on and you look at all the things that have happened over the last 48 hours, he totally denies it. he says it didn t happen and, you know, you have to listen to him, also. joining us now to talk about this and more is dan donovan of new york. a member of the foreign affairs and homeland security committee. congressman, good morning. thanks for being here. thanks, alisyn. what do you think president trump saying he supports ray moore. i don t support roy moore. let another candidate take the spot. you heard the president, roy moore denies it. he totally denies it. he does deny it, but i think those allegations are so
vacation but up early and tweeting. not about what happened with the navy right away, but about lavar ball and the nfl. in fact, it took him about three hours to tweet about the search for survivors after that navy plane crashed off the coast of japan. this comes as the president is under fresh scrutiny for his defense of roy moore. let s bring in our guests to discuss. cnn political commentator anna navarro and the chairman of the american conservative union matt schlap. as i have said before, we are thankful for you. the best of thanksgiving for you and your family. you, too. now, matt, the president apparently defended roy moore. supports him in the race. is considering whether to campaign for him. do you agree with the move? i don t know if i agree with your premise. i think the president definitely moved closer towards judge moore. he defended the fact that roy
investigation, ana. it s coming. al franken ethics investigation and a john and if roy moore wins, we ll have a ethics investigation on him, too. you have something more with moore. you have these republicans saying we won t seat him. i m not saying, they re saying, we re going to move to expel him. rick santorum last night was saying i don t think the guy is going to serve. why don t you factor that in, matt? i do. i was listening to roberts a long-time democrat and someone i respect on the radio on the way in and i think it will be very rare for almost unprecedented for congress to not seat somebody who the voters have dooley elected. now, congress can make the decision that he doesn t meet the criteria because there is a question as to whether high won the race. but if he wins this race, which is going to be very hard for him to do, but if he wins this race, they will seat him, chris. because if they don t seat him, the democrats and republicans, there are others that are
