would not have edited have dominic had that not been in the book? mollie: the whole thing is just a relitigation of last year, where they tried to take these allegations that were made by deborah ramirez, which at the time, were considered so lacking in credibility that even the new york times that they couldn t confirm them. but now, a year later, we are supposed to believe that they are somehow credible. bret: in the meantime, 2020 democrats called for kavanaugh s impeachment. here is jerry nadler on impeaching brett kavanaugh. we are going to question the fbi director on this whole thing. and then, we will make other determinations. we are concentrating our resources on determining whether
and tell them about how we re going to move forward. i thought joe did a strong job of that last night. why wouldn t former secretary julian castro, yes, a former obama administration official, but he s also the former mayor of san antonio, and he hears from people certainly in texas and around the country democrats who share his views that the obama administration was not where they should have been on immigration and deportations. why shouldn t he take issue with that even as a former secretary? it s very possible that his opinion on these things you know, he wasn t in charge certainly, that was in his portfolio. why couldn t he have this attack? it is part of laying out our policy agenda as a party to reconsider, relitigation where we ve been in the past and talk about where we want to go in the future. it s certainly the case today with the humanitarian crisis at the border, driven by president trump s divisive rhetoric, actions and policies around immigration that it is a ve
relitigation of 2016 moving voters. it is something that still weighs heavily on the president s mind. he talks about it because he fundamentally sees it as a threat to his legitimacy as a president. when we sat down in the oval office, we spent an hour with him. he originally was going to budget about 20 minutes and we started talking and he ordered a diet coke and settled in. we started challenging him on the mueller investigation and he continued to push back hard and say it s a witch hunt and spent a lot of time on that. you ll see him spend a lot of time on that. it is not a political calculation but really a personal obsession, something still heavily on his mind. i mean, it is fascinating to see how the campaign is thinking about this. they do sell decals and bumper stickers on their website about the witch hunt and all of that but really it is not messaging. they re doing that because they want to draw voters to their website to give information to build up their list. it is a
