Donald trumps comments tonight have already been condemned by jeff flake of arizona, Lindsey Graham of south carolyn a. Will they reverberate by voters . Well see.

When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york, im chris hayes. There are just nine days until donald trump becomes president of the United States. Today we were inundated with news, much of it disturbing, about what to expect when he takes office. In fact there was so much news today it is, frankly, impossible for us to fully cover what we saw and heard, which may well have been the point. We are going to aggressively cover the issues we have deemed most important and they are big ones. Among them, the President Elect evoking nazi germany to characterize u. S. Intelligence agencies, offering kind words to the russians who the Intelligence Community believe hacked the dnc and clinton campaign. Trumps Secretary Of State pick exxonmobil Ceo Rex Tillerson possibly lying under oath at his Conf

Thats probably the most useful advice, the most constructive advice ive been able to give him. Personnel is policy, in other words. Especially for a Chief Executive who for the first time in the history of this republic has zero experience in Public Service of any kind, not the government nor the military.

He has the worst Approval Rating in modern
