i would love the whole twitter conversation to go away. i would love all of us to elevate beyond. for the american viewer who is watching, i would like to assure you that washington, there are so many lawmakers and leaders working hard for you today, whether within the trump administration, members of the house, members of the senate. please rest assured that while you re watching this wanter about twitter and unfortunate conversations coming out of every direction, we will be working hard on behalf of the american citizen. hold on a second, lena. hold on a second. there s four boxes, so you ve got to pace yourself a little bit. lena, here is the point. you re talking about what you want to say to the american people and you re very hearnest when you do it. you have no message for the president of the united states. this isn t about a twitter conversation. don t cheap n it that way. this is about the nature and
neither shocked or insulted by the president s personal attack. the donald trump we knew before the campaign was a flawed character, but one who still seemed capable of keeping his worst instincts in check. joining us now to discuss is cnn political commentators ana navarro and amanda carpenter along with lena epstein, candidate for the united states senate in michigan and former co-chair for the trump campaign in that debate. during the break i started to write out a list of all the women that president trump arianna huffington, cher, ruth bader ginsburg, talking models you don t have pocahontas in there, that s what he called senator elizabeth warren. anna, what is going on here? i think you ve got a very immature man who has not made
viewers decency and how our president treats other human beings especially women is a meaningful issue. if the media is wrong, it should be called out. you know what? there s one president and there s a lot of media. there s one person at the top of the chain. there s one ultimate leader and there s a lot of media. you really want to put him on equal footing with mika brzezinski in terms of whose words matter more? come on. ana, make your point. i have said many, many times that it s okay to disagree with the president. i have disagreed with the president, but it s now time for us to move forward. last night i heard former congresswoman trying to also bend herself into pretzel shapes. i told her she sounded like she was passing a kidney stone, she sounded so pained an cringed. i feel the same way about lena. i almost want to give you a hug. the reason you can t bring
entire twitter conversation and act like everyone is responsible for what the president responds to. it s not. just say it was wrong. he needs to stop. he should take it back. he should apologize. have some dignity. lena, do you support that. the entire twitter conversation needs to stop for the better interest of the american people. we re going to eliminate all of twitter because the president can t control himself online. that s not what i said. i m speaking specifically about the banter. we know what you re saying. i would like to add world hunger. i would like world peace and would like to end world hunger. since we re not doing that either, in the meantime let s focus on what we can do, which is to confront the indecent actions, words, tweets of the president of the united states. if you can t bring yourself to do that, then you ve got to tell the people who you want to work for you, i cannot bring myself to criticize the president of my own party, and that s what you
it s not worth it. our children are watching, our children are learning. the damage this is doing to the president of the united states, the damage this is doing to our moral fiber, to our country, the way we are viewed by domestic and foreign policy allies and enemy, it s too high a price to become a yes man and yes woman to this insanity. lena, i see you nodding in a sense. i have a twitter feed filled with defense of the president, that he is fighting back against a too critical media, that he was sent there to be disruptive. by the way, most of them putting him to shame in terms of the level of profanity and negativity they bring to the discourse. does the president deserve a defense here as he is getting from his base? good morning. i think it s incredibly unfortunate discussion we re having this morning. the american viewer that s watching is concerned about the
