democrats should be just as concerned about the republicans going this way. president trump says he thinks it s a winning strategy. ? it would be a winning strategy in the short term for his presidential bid, it s a losing strategy for the country. and also, i m not sure. i think there s a silent majority of people who have been getting increasingly uncomfortable with what trump is up to. the question they re going to be asking is, can i keep this economic progress without this social regress. what trump is basically doing is bringing the economy up, but pulling society apart. is there who can keep the economy up but bring us back together? if the democrats nominate someone on both counts, trump s in trouble. and this strategy is going to be something he regrets. van jones, thank you. appreciate your perspective. judy shelton s past comments about immigration, and they re not in line with the president. stay with us.
party to the congresswoman s comments. it was an effort to paint the entire democratic party with the same brush he s painting these four congress women they are struggling now to deal with what happened last night, as his supporters went back to his original comments. using that phrase go back which i think everyone knows now has a racist connotation, but a racist origin and the white house is struggling to explain that. my next guests have seen both the rise of the trump administration, as well as intraparty squabbles among republicans and democrats up close. john boehner is the former house speaker, and joe crawly is the former chairman of the house democratic caucus. thank you for being here. let me start with you, mr. speaker. let s back up to the original
things where there s been such complaining. not only complaining from the media, or at least asking questions about it, but complaining from different companies. like microsoft and oracle and ibm. great companies are complaining about it, we ll take a look at it, we ll take a very strong look at it. thank you very much, everyone. thank you for asking. right this way. thank you, press. thank you, press, thank you, guys, we re leaving now. thank you, we re leaving now, guys. will you be taking any more thank you very much, we ll be leaving now. thank you. tv, we re leaving now, thank you. that was president trump answering more questions on the send her back chants last night at his rally, directed toward democratic congresswoman ilhan omar. keep in mind he was silent
what do you make of how this all escalated last night. last night was terrifying. to have the leader of the free world, the most powerful man in the world to stand there and you have tens of thousands of people chanting, send her back, focusing all that on an individual u.s. citizen, a lawmaker. it s terrifying, any leader in the world standing up on the stage like that, singling out a citizen would be terrifying, period. we also have to remember, ilhan omar in particular, someone who has been convicted for threatening her life. he s playing with a very dangerous kind of fire, that said, i m glad he s pulling back. he may lie about what he did, but if he s sending a signal now, he doesn t want to go down that road. that s a good thing. will that stop the chant? i think back to lock her up and build the wall. if that particular chant becomes a part of this foundation of his campaign,
benjamins. not a good thing to say. congresswoman omar who represents minnesota had not heard that the president disagreed with the chants when she responded to the incident earlier today. people feel like they belong, and that we are extending tolerance and aspiration to all of them. we have said this president is racist, we have corn demmed his racist remarks, i believe he is fascist because today even lindsey graham defended his comments by saying that if i was wearing a maga hat, i would not be deported. but because i criticize the president i should be deported. i want to remind people, this is what this president and his supporters have turned our country that is supposed to be a country where we allow
