group excuse me. excuse me i saw the same pictures that you did. he called african countries, sending immigrants to this country, quote, shit hole countries. the white house later trying to claim the president said shit house as if that makes any difference. i could go on and on. and we only have so much time. we know what donald trump thinks. we know what roseanne barr thinks. it s time for us to stop playing around with soft words by saying, oh, well they re saying insensitive things. no, it s racist. they re exhibiting racist behavior. and far too many of our fellow american citizens agree with them and feel emboldened to say out loud the things they wouldn t have dared to say in
anything else going on more than just a need for privacy? it doesn t seem like it, don, from all of my sources in my reporting what the east wing has said. quite frankly, this is not a first lady that is the type of person to sort of pop out for a photo-op. we ve seen her act extremely independently. she s not one to turn it on for the camera just because people expect her to, expect her to smile behind the president or stand by his side when she does certain things. or even sometimes take a motorcade with him. we ve seen her act independently a number of times. i don t think we should read into it, that she s not at the white house, or she wasn t up there in the residency. she s taking meetings with her staff in the east wing, apparently preparing for fourth of july and the congressional picnic later next month. thank you, appreciate that. when we come back, they both traffic in bigotry, they both promote conspiracy theories, what president trump and roseanne barr have in common
talk about it. it s okay, just stay off of twitter? right. i did an interview with her a couple months ago, and there were two abc publicists on the phone. when i started pressing her about president trump, her support of president trump and he opposes abortion right, gay right, labor union protections, things her character the publicist started getting involved and cutting me off and telling me to move on. and later, don, shortly after this, this was part of abc s heartland strategy, this is how abc was going to try to appeal to red state americans who might not be watching network tv or their network as much as possible. it seems again as if they were sort of saying all these thing that she has said, all the things that tara laid out, somehow would fit in the strategy or wasn t worthy of saying, as much as like a
that were going down to a nascar race in north carolina to do some kind of study and went and got vaccinations for it. literally democratic staffers on the hill got vaccinations before they would go to a nascar race in north carolina. that s the sort of thing that was so why would we be surprised that we live in this environment that you re talking about? okay, mike, i mean that s here, a few things. first of all, don, you talked about the hiring of black people. and, you know, really the hiring of diverse people, people like the president of abc news i m sorry, the president of abc network entertainment, yeah. people like wanda sykes, who was a consultant on the series and before the show was cancelled to the detriment of herself and her pocket, she said i am not going back on that show. having those african-american women be represented in hollywood i think made a huge difference in this decision.
has created in this country. and that is a problem. to my fellow conservatives out there, do not make any excuses for this. this is inexcusable. and when you have conservative media outlets saying that, oh, abc was looking for an excuse to get rid of roseanne because everyone is against middle america. that is bs. how much money are they losing out on, tara? i mean, of course they wanted the money. of course. they re not losing any no, no, no. here s the thing though, when we do this what aboutism, i m just nuts. i m not hear to defend anybody. how many times do you have to show us who you are? if you make a mistake, each of us here has made a mistake on air, we re on tv enough to say some dumb things. we apologize and move on and do better the next time. there seems to be people with this administration, people like roseanne say dumb things, they don t apologize, they continue to get a pass.
