Bold. she is resourceful and confident and secure. she meets her responsibilities, she speaks quietly because she is strong. america does not boast because she has no need to. the america of john mccain has no need to be made great again, because america was always great. senator john mccain s daughter meghan mccain with a swipe at president trump during a passionate eulogy for her father this morning. george w. bush and barack obama sent a message to trump while highlighting mccain s impact on american politics. he respected the dignity inherent in every life, a dignity that does not stop at borders and cannot be erased by dictators. so much of our politics and public life and public discourse can seem small and mean and
Walls rather than tear them down, when we doubt the power of our ideals rather than trust them to be the great force for change they have always been. so what does it say about those words from mccain and the democratic segregationist then honor john mccain. i can t figure this out. first of all, this is introduced by senator chuck schumer who is the minority leader in the senate to actually change the name of the building after a democrat to a republican, a democrat as you mentioned who is a segregationalist and it t doesn t make sense. i think this is you have a lot of republicans who are afraid that president trump will tweet at them or say something publicly negative about them if they support this legislation. you ve got mitch mcconnell saying let s appoint a task
The pressure from the mueller investigation now? well i think the pressure has been on for quite sometime but you mention the word timing. something about the timing of these tweets, these flurry of tweets on several subjects this morning is that it came during the time of john mccain s high-profile funeral event and the washington national cathedral here in washington, d.c. when various high-profile republicans and democrats were gathered to mourn. and the president of the united states of course on his phonetic twitter feed has had nothing to say and nothing complimentary to say about john mccain and then he headed off to his private golf course in virginia and honestly, the way it is going so far on saturday, i think you can sense a rather bit of relief from senior white house aides. so one senior trump official told me earlier this week that as long as the president doesn t hate tweet mccain on saturday,
Attitude somewhat permissive to this notion and we have for the first time over the last ten days or so the president addressing this. that s exactly right and remember what rudy giuliani has been doing, the president s main lawyer over the course of the last four months has been essentially throwing himself like a battering ran at the investigation trying to discredit it, trying to undermine it and he s been very clear that is because they believe the president can t be indicted under doj guidelines. i don t know that doj agrees but they have not said one way or the other. but rudy giuliani believes this is going to play out in the court of public opinion as an impeachment battle so that is what he is trying to influence. he had made progress, other polls showed, then you have the cohen guilty plea. that s the only thing i can point to that has changed in the last two weeks, some combination of that and how the president handled john mccain s death but i have to imagine this is the
To your point, john, things that were said on the tape, when the times broke the news it was described as very narrow cast, just about this one woman, karen mcdougal. as we mentioned, maggie is in transit on her way to the space station. when she gets there, send us a text so we know you made it safely. that s where i ll do my next live hit, from mars. wouldn t surprise us, maggie. thanks for sharing your reporting. have a great weekend. you, too. late senator and war hero john mccain has returned to washington for the final time. he will lie in state at the capitol rotunda. joe biden honored his friend yesterday and suzanne malveaux is live in our nation s capital. that was as always as often with joe biden, quite emotional. absolute ly.
