i want to you listen to something reince priebus said yesterday, to our wolf blitzer. i will say that steve is doing a great job. he is a brilliant guy. who only cares about the president s agenda. he thinks about it 24 hours a day. never quits. he s a great asset to this president. and so, and a dear friend. so my hat s off to steve bannon. chris, what does this shifting the sands mean potentially for bannon? i never thought i would describe steve bannon as not the most outsider of the group. this is a guy who ran breitbart news, this is a man who made his business name on being someone willing to throw grenades at the washington establishment. and yet he s sort of the gray beard of the group that s still there. i think reince s comments reflect the fact that he and bannon did have an alliance. in many ways against jared
relating to the centralark 5, calling for them to gethe death penalty, even thohhey were five black and latino individuals who were wrongly convicted. there s a history there donald trump will have to deal with in terms of his own doing. in terms of the steve bannon phenomenon, the reality is this steve bannon ran breitbart news. breitbart news is a self-described platform for the alt-right. the alt-right promotes, in the view of many americans, anti-semitism and white supremacy. white supremacy equals racism. therefore, through a process of deductive reasoning, the person who ran breitbart news has some questions to answer as it relates to the level of respect he has for tolerance and diversity in our society. congressman hakeem jeffries, sir. good to have you on today. appreciate your time. look forward to having you back. thank you, tom. we head out west for breaking news we ve been following today in california with more storms and danger.

coverage of the 2016 election. jake tapper s interview with kellyanne conway and robbie mook mark the first time the two have appeared together since the election. as you might have guess, they offered very differing views. what happened with russia here, we can not have foreign aggresors intervening in our elections. we know that the russians were promulgating fake news through facebook and other outlets. we also had, and this is with all due respect to kellyanne and her colleagues. this isn t personal. steve bannon ran breitbart news, notorious for peddling stories like this. i am not attacking him personally. they peddled a lot of stories that are false, not true. they reinforce sexist, racist, anti-semitic notions in people, headlines na just are shocking and insulting and shouldn t be
