their sites. and by hateful activities, i mean these really violent, incisightful insightful, threatening, initem dating content by a very organized and sophisticated and internationally connected white supremacist movement. that characterization, does that sort of jibe with what you ve reported and observed? yeah, i think it contains multitudes. there are various people who were on 8chan for various reasons. the place where most of the attention has been focused is on this politics board, paul, where all these mass shooters were going to post their manifestos. and the interesting thing there is that these manifestos were not directed at the president or the general public or the media. other people on the board. they were directed at other 8chan users. but that osays to me 8chan is radicalizing people into violence.
tragedies. i m joined by jill colvin, francesca desoto, charlie sykes. charlie, why can t he control his tongue on a day that is for mourning and consolation? he spends his time spitballing his opponents? yeah, because this is a moment that required presidential largeness. instead we got his littleness and his pettiness, because this is who he is. you know, as jonathan last wrote in the bulwark the other day, he is an arsonist who wants us to think he is the fireman. donald trump is never going to heal this nation. number one, because he s incapable of it. number two, because he is is no interested in it. he is much more comfortable with the invective, the insults, the petty jibe. that s because that s why he became president, that that is his super power. what we are seeing is exactly what donald trump has always been, somebody who is never going to grow into this office. but the fact on this day of national mourning, he is tweeting out. some of those tweets sound like
saying the trump administration says no, it s a few facilities being selected and used to tar the whole system. they re not even letting people look at the system, here was the claim from the acting trump dhs secretary today. unsubstantiated allegations last week. that s balanced somewhat, since several media outlets tour ed te areas. that was last week? i think it doesn t jibe with the photos we re seeing, i m reminded of the time donald trump said, believe what you see with your own eyes, we re seeing photographs of children in cages covered in alum numb foil.
shouldn t be sued, very rarely do you get sued when you do a national emergency. president trump spoke for almost an hour. mostly off the cuff and took questions from reporters, including this one about the numbers that the president cites that don t jibe with official government figures. i m asking you to clarify where you get your numbers. because most of the dea crime reporting statistics that we see show that drugs are coming across at the ports of entry. that illegal immigration is down and the violence is down. so what do you base your facts on? let s go. no, no, you get one. just sit down, sit down. we ll start with maria hinajosa. the new york times editorial headline reads phony wall, phony emergency. we ve been following all the undulations that led up to this. your reaction to what we saw yesterday in the rose garden? so actually very upset, but also very strange.
have to reunify those families.e have to reunify those families. and it s shameful to say just don t come to the government illegally. we have an obligation to comply with the constitution and we can t separate families and we haven t seen that in america. have you seen any presidential direction in terms of reuniting those children with their parents? no. several dozen were reunified under the age of five but as many have not been. this should be issue number one before the president goes gallivanting to meet with vladimir putin to discuss 2018 campaign strategy or something. he should be working to reunify these families. i know you were making a joke or a jibe, 2018 campaign strategy. i hope it was a joke. the administration has said
