but kaylee, just to be clear, he said i didn t know she was nasty. when the president comes out and says i never called meghan markle nasty. it seems to me a distinction without a difference here. he said it. he said that she was nasty in her comments or in something that she did. so why go on twitter and just deny it out of hand? why not say this is what i meant or if you didn t get it when i said it the first time, this is what i meant. clearly the words are out there for everyone to hear. because when you turn on the tv screen of several major networks and you see a chyron that he has called someone s character, someone s personhood an individual nasty, which he did not do and in many cases you are good to play the second portion of that john, where he praises her, but not every show has done that. i have been watching all day. the president wasn t lying here. it s simply being taken out of context. this is why the media does. which is why the campaign posted the entire audio.
this president on the other hand does not. and that s important not because presidents don t sometimes feel the need to shave the truth or on rare occasions even lie, as a great philosopher otter of delta house put it, they do. it is until this president none has so fragrantly deliberately and repeatedly lie when the truth is so plain to see even by gas light. so keeping them honest. here s a portion of what he told the uk s sun newspaper. she said she d move to canada if you got elected. it turned out she moved to britain. oh, that will be good. there are a lot of people moving here. so what can i say? no, i didn t know that she was nasty. okay. got that, nasty? and then the president said this when asked whether it s good having an american princess? i think it s nice. i think it s nice. i m sure she ll do excellently. she ll be very good.
perhaps we need to post it again so the viewers and the media understand what he was saying. i didn t know that she was nasty seems pretty clear to me. again what nasty is modifying seems to me to be a distinction without a difference and especially when you do remember that nasty is a word the president has used. you ve heard him use that word before to talk about women, correct? look, it s again, hugely different, calling someone nasty and calling someone s comments nasty. i think we are missing the forest through the trees here when we are about to celebrate the 75th anniversary of d-day when 150,000 heroes stormed the beaches and saved the country and you are caring about nasty modified. we said a great deal about the president s trip and discussed how warmly he was received. we will be talking about d-day, the argument here isn t about why he called meghan markle nasty or used the word nasty. it s his denial that he ever said it.
president s tweet out of context. he said, the president said i never called her nasty, with i he did not do. he never said i never used the word nasty. he used the word nasty in relation to her comments and i find it interesting when you played the portion of his sound byte, you left out the first part, don, where he was asked repeatedly, what do you think of her comments? he said back, i don t know about her comments. i ve never heard these comments. then he said in response to that, i didn t know she was nasty, which we all know is a coloquial phrase when someone says something bad. it s taken out of context by the media once ago en. so you are arguing, an argument over what nasty was modifying when he was saying i didn t know she was nasty. you are saying he was saying the comments were nasty but not meghan markle. that s the distinction here? that s exactly the distinction. when you listen to the whole sound byte, me goes on to say it s very nice to have an american princess,
look, it s again, hugely different, calling someone nasty and calling someone s comments nasty. i think we are missing the forest through the trees here when we are about to celebrate the 75th anniversary of d-day when 150,000 heroes stormed the beaches and saved the country and you are caring about nasty modified. we told a great deal about the president s trip and discussed how warmly he was received. we will be talking about d-day, the argument here isn t about why he called meghan markle nasty or used the word nasty. it s his denial that he ever said it. right. you agree. he never denied he said the word. he never denied he said the word. but again here, here we are all day all i seen is the nasty comment and the dispute with the mayor. nothing about d-day, nothing about the reason the president is there. this is what the media does. anything for a negative story of president trump, the harvard
