Werent all excited about voting for roy moore once this came out, even a weak endorsement from trump might get those people excited. Alabama is very much trump country. Reporter no one here seems to think that trumps backing is any game changer, not in a state where voters take pride in putting a thumb in the eye of the establishment, even the republican establishment. Even if all of these allegations were proven definitively to be positive, i would still vote for him over doug jones. What were getting nationally is, oh, alabamans would vote for a pedophile over a liberal democrat. In this circumstance, yes. Reporter now lets get to the bad news coming out of the Roy Moore Campaign and that is the Communications Director, thats john rodgers, suddenly called it quits. The campaign is trying to downplay this, saying this was a decision they reached last friday.

before the plane crash that somehow he wasn t prioritizing when he was briefed at 8:00 and tweeted about that plane crash at 8:30, that s a little bit unfair. the president s tweet, too bad, lavar is just a poor man s version of don king without the hair. there have been many who asked with this debate specifically, is there race at play? how do you see it? yes, there is race at play. it s clearly a part of a pattern the president has been engaged for quite some time when he started in his campaign attacking mexicans, attacking musli muslims. he started his political white house if you will with this whole sort of attack on barack obama for five and a half years, questioning his birth certificate, not the white house but his involvement in politics i should say. this is part of what he s doing right now with the haitians. he s going after the haitians,

a london situation? you know, i give george w. bush credit for the way he responded on 9/11. obviously i m not politically on the same page with george w. bush but he responded with dignity. he urged the country to be calm. one of his very first statements was to say this is not about all muslims. we have lots of very loyal muslim american citizens, brothers and sisters. george w. bush responded with prudence, dignity, facts. what donald trump did in response to the british tragedy was, again, i think inappropriate for a toddler, much less the president of the united states. i want to read your first two tweets so people get an idea what you sent out. you said here criticizing the mayor of a city recently attacked by terror appalling. donald trump is not qualified to be mayor of a small town. these are very strong very vehement words.
court is whether the administration engaged in religious discrimination against musli muslims. if he said this is a muslim ban, that would be a bigger problem. a travel ban is a much more generic term. even though the white house objected to that term, it s not necessarily unconstitutional. the fact he says it s a travel ban i don t think hurts his case that much. maggie, let s talk about another story you have broken for the new york times, that is no one is immune from the fickle finger of president trump, including jeff sessions, who was one of his earliest, most visible supporters and acolytes. somehow the attorney general has fallen out of favor of the president. it s been a long falling out of favor. essentially this all dates back his frustration with jeff sessions. yes, the travel ban is his own thing, whatever we re calling it right now, travel ban is his own
