example, the rebuilding of, of a syria. of libya. so i m hopeful that we can find accommodation that where we can save the least of people and, for example, in libya. bret: your thoughts about that? brit: well, obviously, bret, this is another one of these episodes in which there have been quite a number in which the president forgot something e confused libya and syria. he confuses things with some regulator and in public. and it raises anew the question of whether really his age when forgetfulness isn t understandable and not at all uncommon issue makes him not necessarily in the best position to act as president. you have got to get up on the world stage and not confuse your countries. this is something that some of us way back in 2016 during the
rashida tlaib. and, and and then she clarified it. and we thanked her for clarification. so do you want people to just let it go. they can say whatever they want. but what i m saying is end of subject. she clarified, we thanked her, end of subject. bret: speaker pelosi talking about concerns about ilhan omar, congresswoman from minnesota s comments equating the u.s. with the taliban and hamas. obviously republicans don t think that it s over end of subject. we are back with our panel. harold, this is getting quite a stir even in democratic circles. harold: look, without question. but i don t fully understand why we-why it continues to be an issue. i disagree with the congresswoman. she is entitled to her views and her speech. she clarified the moral equivalency comment which was asinine and completely wrong. she has said other things in the
