so it s a very serious matter and definitely donald trump has promoted the kind of attack that this is, and it seems to be that s not true! that s not true. first of all, let s say that the president has said the fake news is the enemy of the people, not the press is an enemy of the people. oh, come on. fake news. and when dana said that his words are being used to promote this kind of behavior around the world, killing journalists, that is absurd. and i take offense to that and every american should. donald trump has never advocated for any journalist to be harmed or murdered. wait a minute. amy i would point tod katie s book. he referred to a reporter being hit by a train, if i recall. excuse me? he posted a tweet of a cnn reporter being attacked by a train. and a similar thing in a wrestling match. no, no. he s posting memes.
cook cookie. he s kentucky tough. he stared down the angry left wing mob. he never blinked, and he never looked back. and he got us a man who will be one of our great, great supreme court justices. so, amy, the he he is talking about is mitch mcconnell, obviously of kentucky. but this mob, gangs, this language that s coming up, it showed up in the last couple of weeks aggressively in the president s rallies and other rallies by republicans. what do you make of that? i think that the left, there are mobs going on out there right now. look at what happened to senator ted cruz and his wife. a mob running them out of a restaurant. maxine waters telling people if you run across these republican senators or congress, to harass them. get in their faces at gas
his life, his career. he can lose his job. and i think that that is wrong. but the statistics of false accusations this is about due process. amy, can you cite one example of this actually happening? excuse me? can you cite one example of this actually happening? i mean, it s happened before. can i jump in? let me just say i want to give you an example that i think is important. hang on one second. in the last few days, there was a white woman who accused a little boy, a black boy, of accosting her in a shopping market. just like emmitt till. there was videotape this time and thank god nothing happened to that kid. he was a child. nobody is speaking out about that on the right because he was a black child. yes, there are people who lie. but when we talk about due process, we also have to talk about the due process and the rights of women. women are not to be assumed to
defecating on my grave. we need more civility in this country. we agree with that. i am sorry you have had those phone calls and those threats. that is not something that is representative of the america that all five of us want to see. thank you for joining me amy, jill, malcolm and dana. up next, more highlights and low lights from donald trump s night in the blue grass state. your brain naturally begins to change which may cause trouble with recall. - learning from him is great. when i can keep up! - anncr: thankfully, prevagen helps your brain and improves memory. - dad s got all the answers. - anncr: prevagen is now the number-one-selling brain health supplement in drug stores nationwide. - she outsmarts me every single time. - checkmate! you wanna play again? - anncr: prevagen. healthier brain. better life.
it does lay the ground work for people who decide that journalists go too far in their criticisms of power. you are completely correct. i am certainly with you and dana, and i do not understand any hesitation on amy s part to adopt that viewpoint. the threats to the press have been direct and very serious from donald trump, and that is a very scarey thing. and yet viewer ship of msnbc has skyrocketed because people are hungry for the truth and the news, and that s what we need to get. and that s not what s happening where a journalist, a columnist is possibly murdered. supposedly the turks have real evidence of this. i m anxious to see the proof of what s happened to him. but there is certainly nothing that would suggest that he ever left the embassy on his own free will.
