This is just the latest in the war of words. The fact that hes using a security clearance as a pawn. Hes drunk on power. He really is. Ive never respected him. Ive never had a lot of respect. Its a disgusting frankly. These are frankly very frightening time. Mr. Mueller is highly conflicted. In fact, comey is like his best friend. Let him write his report, we did nothing, theres no collusion. Mr. Trumps claims of collusion are hogwash, because there was collusion i think in open sight. The trump tower meeting with don junior and others. Its a totally rigged deal. Its not us. It is a rigged witchhunt. Ive said it for a long time. Mr. Trump is motivated by whatever is in the best interests of mr. Trump. He did not live up to i think what americans expect from the president of the United States. Joining me now is ms

this is where i am for reasons that are consistent with my political philosophy, including family values, including being a conservative who believes that family is a building block of society. jonathan, look here at the platform of the republican party. the most recent one. it says about the issue of gay marriage, quote, the platform, we reaffirm our support for a constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. we applaud the citizens of the majority of states which have enshrined ma ed in their constis the traditional concept of marriage and we support the campaigns under way in other states to do so. this isn t a creaky old platform. this is what republicans believe. how do you make this how does it work when in each republican family, not every family, i don t buy that. harvey milk is not every family. to be familiar, nephews, cousins, people, your next door neighbor s kids, people who go to church with these kids.
