fringe far right wing group in england. the woman trump retweeted called for islam to be banned in the entire united kingdom and what their big attention getting scheme is that they go on what they call christian patrols in predominantly muslim neighborhoods dressed in sort of military type uniforms and trying to cause trouble and then put it on the internet. the president s retweets of right wing extremist drawing public rebuke from at least two of our european allies. first, he was wrong. what was labeled as a muslim migrant attacking a dutch boy was not that, it was a dutch on dutch violence which prompted the dutch embassy to point that out. says facts do matter. perpetrator of the violent act in this video was born and raised in the netherlands and received complete received and completed a sentence under dutch law. british prime minister teresa may s office said they overwhelming reject the president s rhetoric of the far
later retweeted. also responded to the president s retweet. the embassy tweeted out to the president. facts do matter. they re a prepare traitor of the violent act born and raised in the netherlands. he received and completed sentence under dutch law. meanwhile the white house defended the president s words despite the fact whether it s a real video, the threat is real. that s what the president talks about. that is what the president is focused on is dealing with real threats. those are real no matter how you look at it. i m not talking about the make of the video. . bob corker of tennessee and small block of senators
apparently just blatantly try to incite fear and hatred of muslims with something he made up for the purpose of doing that. the british prime minister felt compelled today to put out a statement in response to the president s online behavior. theresa may said in very simple terms, quote, it is wrong for the president to have done this. but, you know, the dutch embassy in the united states also felt compelled to respond to this today. they sent out this, quote, facts do matter. the perpetrator of the violent act in this video was born and raised in the netherlands. he received and completed his sentence under dutch law. and thus recurs my personal nightmare of sitting at this desk in this seat once again having to apologize to the dutch, right? i never thought it would be worse or weirder than having to apologize to the dutch for the behavior of one of our rando presidential candidates who you can t quite believe got that far, but it s like a nightmare
people talking but this miss the mark. bret: the one video that was said to show a young muslim boy attacking another, the netherlands saying facts do matter. the perpetrator in the video was born and raised in netherlands. he received and completed his sentence under dutch law. the interesting thing from my perspective is that this is the second day in a row trump s twitter account has a blown out from what we predicted the day would look like. yesterday, we came in thinking there was going to be a big meeting with the president and congressional leaders, and he tweeted something at nancy pelosi and chuck schumer and said i don t think there is a deal. they didn t go to the meeting and that change the entire day.
