operations updating us now on a shooting that happened in a movie theater 8:30 eastern time. two people will dead. live pictures now from that theater sin e sin? laugh yet, lae la. as you look at these first, i want to speak to another witness of the shooting. anyone e age? dear, was in the theater next door. page, what did you see? people running out.
they re talking about it more now that i was successful in using them politically. and everybody has got to acknowledge that fact. joining me now is phillip bunk, political reporter for the washington post. it s kind of amazing to go back into that period in american politics. where this very racialized language about welfare and dependency, at one point, david duke is saying that people on welfare should be given birth control, right? that, through a sort of different rhetorical approach, it funnels pretty squarely into a lot of republican politics. it s absolutely true. i think it s important to remember what was happening in lae la at that moment. it was gist starting to transition from heavily democratic to a heavily republican state. it was trying to figure out what
that, through a sort of different rhetorical approach, it funnels pretty squarely into a lot of republican politics. it s absolutely true. i think it s important to remember what was happening in lae la at that moment. it was gist starting to transition from heavily democratic to a heavily republican state. it was trying to figure out what itsds political identity was was a reaction to the changing race in the united states. david duke was an opportunist. he was also someone who was a member of the klu klux klan. and he takes a moment to say hey, what i believe in is our state taking care of itself. as for skalise, it looks like he s going to survive this plitically. they re basically going to say hey, look, mistakes happen. but there s this guy, kenny nied, right, who s also a neighbor of skalise. the idea that he had no idea who he was or who he worked for, it just doesn t seem plausible.

right after that, congressman skalise acknowledged he made a mistake. i know that he does not share the believes of that organization. meanwhile, it is e as that was happening, skalise himself stepped up his own defense today. he spoke to many different louisiana groups back in those days trying to sell his tax and spending plan. and then he condemns the views of the neonazi group. he is among that groups targets. skalise also noeted that he was just a state legislature in lae la. lae la. louisiana. in other words, the idea that it would be a lot easier then for an invitation. now, to be clear on where we stand right now in terms of what we know, we still have no video of that 2002 event that skalise spoke at.
