has left it to democrats who are outside of this building, who are uncouple who, who are in the political realm to do the condemning of president trump. in this instance the white house felt it was important for them to set the record straight, and to be out there publicly, denouncing the former president with former spokesman andrew bates calling the constitution the ultimate monument to the freedoms and rights that we enjoy as americans. and going on in the statement to say, attacking the constitution and all it stands for is anathema to the soul of our nation, and should be universally condemned. the white house going on to say, you cannot only love america when you win. alex? yeah. let me ask you one thing, really quick, about biden this week having signed that bill. you have some union members, josh, who say it doesn t begin to address all of their concerns. how has the white house responded to this? yeah. we heard from labor secretary
kanye west. but that is something that we are going to have to keep an eye on for when they come back here on monday, what sort of opposition do they have to these latest remarks? and will these latest comments by former president trump sort of dissolve into this book of brushed off things that republicans brush off what the former president said head of 2024, alex. that s extraordinary. they responded at the dinner, and yet they wouldn t have an immediate whiplash effect, responding to doing away with the constitution of united states. we re going to see what happens tomorrow. thank you, ali, for that. josh, let s head to you now. how about the white house? how does it respond to trump s calls to suspend the constitution? yeah, alex, this is a white house that is tried really hard to stay out of the business of providing a running commentary on former president trump s remarks, and posted a social media. and oftentimes, when former president trump has said controversial things sin
advise him to look on the other side of the aisle and see whether or not there are some deals over there to be made, as well for the first reporting the hour, let s turn to nbc s josh lemon at the white house. ali, we re going to start with you here. how are lawmakers responded trump s call to suspend, in his words, terminate the constitution? congressional democrats are pretty quick to condemn those comments by former president trump. as soon as he made them yesterday, they urge their colleagues across the aisle to do the same. but republicans for the most part were hesitant to do that until some of them were asked about the comments on the sunday show this morning. take a listen to some of the reaction we heard. i am glad to see that a number of republican party leaders, including leader mcconnell, are starting to condemn trump. better late than never.
