the british and american, naturalized citizen. i do not believe my loyalty is to the united kingdom. my lucy is here to the united states. this is my country in the country and serve. i know for fact that every single one of my colleagues and there were many naturalized citizens in my office and across the national security council i think it s deeply unfair. i think you. you mentioned something in your testimony, and i might not have this exactly right, that i think ambassador sondland once told you that his role was to make deals connect is not right? that s correct. he told other people that, as well, to be clear. i want to ask you about one of those deals. the one that ambassador bolton described as a drug deal. i had the suggestion of the indication, rather, would mr. goldman was asking questions about the july 10th meeting of the fact there were two meetings one in ambassador bolton s presence and another in the war room that there was more you had to say about th
baffling. these are people that are serving the public interest. and again, we can quibble about how many people are involved here. but the message this sends to people who are sacrificing their country is a really bad one. particularly for a president who continually professes to be so pro military. again, you have to put this in a broader context. this is a president who expressed a desire to get rid of birth right citizenship and this seems dangerously like we re heading in that direction. i want to talk to you, danny, about this as a personal issue. you were born abroad. is your dad in the military? right? father in the military. naturalized citizen, born to u.s. citizens abroad in japan, so it s almost you d be fine under the new rules if these rules were in effect when you were born? yes, barely, because my citizenship comes actually from a couple different places. because i was immediately a citizen when born to u.s. citizens this one would not affect me. this affects
rhetoric and the fact that the white supremacist activity, race-based terrorism is almost all, if not all, white supremacist based, those are reports that have come out of 2018, is because they think that they have a leader in the white house, someone who tacitly or more openly, quite frankly, supports a lot of what of what they do, you know, when they feel emboldened, they feel energized. people feel quite scared. i know that from a very personal level. my mother is a black immigrant woman. naturalized citizen. been here over 40-plus years. the first time she s gotten politically active to call her two u.s. senators has been because what she has seen in the last few weeks has concerned her. she s like, what are you politicians doing to confront this in our country? and shermichael, i think that a lot of the republican strategists are not looking at the fact, you got people, republican congresspeople, in districts that they won, barely won, that are now announcing i m not running aga
