elected officials in congress agree with you. well, chris, i think it s very clear that in the states i was in after the election, including the state of nevada and the state of georgia, they did not check the signatures on mailed-in ballots. contrary to the law. and that should never happen in this country, again. matter of fact, they saw some wrongdoing in new york city, in their elections, as well. and there s fraud in every election, since the gibeginningf time, including in america. and we ought to, all, agree, democrats and republicans, that nobody should vote who s not legally allowed to vote. and unfortunately, in the last-presidential election, because they didn t check those signatures, we had massive amounts of fraud. these are facts. and they re undisputable. no, it is not a fact that there were large amounts of fraud. ya had me, right up until there. you ve got people chanting hold on. did they check the signatures? did they check?
the white house joins us now. it s hard not to get whiplash following the president s back and forth on this. walking back his walkback yesterday, and lara trump lying, saying it was a couple people chanting, when clearly it was more than a couple people chanting. that s not true. we were there. it was very loud. it was so loud the president stopped speaking for those 13 seconds to let them continue on in this arena that seats about 8,000 people or so. this is the president s art of the deal. he ll say something controversial, it will put his republican allies in a bind and you ll see the president walk it back just enough like he did yesterday when he said he didn t agree with the chant and that reporters should go to north carolina and ask those people while they were chanting it even though he didn t mention the fact about his tweets on sunday. and today he strikes a much more defiant tone, defending those supporters, that they re patriots and focusing on these negative attacks on
omar. and there the president stood for 13 seconds, soaking it all in, waiting for the chanting to grow and die down. yesterday, while falsely claiming that he tried to stop it, he also said he disagreed with the crowd. well, less than 24 hours later, starting with a string of tweets and two television appearances, he renewed his attacks on the women. no more talks about regrets. in fact he went onto level a series of false allegations about two of the women which were quickly debunked. a depressing end to the week. katelyn collins joins us from the white house. it s hard not to get whiplash following the president s back and forth on this. walking back his walkback yesterday, and lara trump lying, saying it was a couple people chanting, when clearly it was more than a couple people chanting. that s not true. we were there. it was so loud that the
what do you make of how this all escalated last night. last night was terrifying. to have the leader of the free world, the most powerful man in the world to stand there and you have tens of thousands of people chanting, send her back, focusing all that on an individual u.s. citizen, a lawmaker. it s terrifying, any leader in the world standing up on the stage like that, singling out a citizen would be terrifying, period. we also have to remember, ilhan omar in particular, someone who has been convicted for threatening her life. he s playing with a very dangerous kind of fire, that said, i m glad he s pulling back. he may lie about what he did, but if he s sending a signal now, he doesn t want to go down that road. that s a good thing. will that stop the chant? i think back to lock her up and build the wall. if that particular chant becomes a part of this foundation of his campaign,
hear him attempt to talk about the left wing angry mob as his backdrop, was an angy i guess right wing mob of people chanting. you know, chanting nonsense. there were taunts, they were chanting nonsense about the press and calling people names, and that was interesting optics. the thing i m fascinated by by this political figure in donald trump is the president, is how he even as president has positioned himself as the aggrieved outl aggrieved outsider. he may have said let s keep america great, and i guess the implication is he s made it great again and we should keep the status quo. if you talk about the list of grievances and the ways his followers are victims or he is is victim in some way, it is constantly positioning himself as the outsider. on the one hand he s going to want to take the benefit and credit for an economy that s
