harassment, i would like to see that taken seriously, especially people in the public eye. and a steady treme of trump officials get brought before the russia investigation special council. is putin still pulling the strings and what have we learned from all of it? i m definitely more wear of the things i see on social media, and as far as news goes, i pay a lot more attention of where i m getting my sources from. i think a lot of it is doing your own investigation and talking to different people and having conversations with co-workers and friends. welcome, everybody. we re starting with president trump expected to preside over a medal of honor certainly tomorrow, awarding the country s highest military honor to retired army captain gary michael rose for his bravery saving numerous lives on a secret mission during the vietnam war. the ceremony is set to take place as the president continues his feud with democratic congresswoman frederica wilson. not letting this go, trump twe
and she s now going after chief-of-staff general john kelly for mischaracterizing her comments and she s demanding an apology. the character assassination that he went through to call me out of my name an empty barrel and yes he does owe the american people an oa pollgy for lying on one of their congress wim. she s now joined in that demand for an apology by all the women of the congressional black caucus and to talk more about this i m joined with david corn and let me begin with you and i want to start with this feud. is it being blown out of proportion or do you agree with congresswoman wilson or general kelly that an apology here is owed particularly from the chief-of-staff to the congresswoman? well, it is being blown out of proportion but being blown out of proportion by the president of the united states with an assist from john kelly. what s really important is what
comments. and you would be wrong, wrong because press secretary sarah sanders picks up right where trump and kelly left off. does general kelly still stand i the statement that he made yesterday that he felt that she was grandstanding and that she was taking credit for absolutely. general kelly said he was stunned that representative wilson made comments at a building dedication honoring slain fbi agents about her own actions in congress, including lobbying former president obama on legislation. as general kelly pointed out, if you re able to make a sacred act like honoring american heroes all about yourself, you re an empty barrel. she wasn t done with that. she went on to add this doozy. if you want to get into a debate with a four star marine general, i think that that s something highly inappropriate. with all due respect, it is absolutely appropriate to

unfortunately have dragged in his chief of staff who until now had pretty much been above politics in ways that distract from so many other challenges the country faces. from 9 million kids losing health insurance. it just makes you wonder if it s purposeful deflection. you mentioned general kelly, he chief of staff, who came out and defended the president this week, and during that defense he attacked congresswoman wilson, told a story about a speech from her back in 2015, and the video surfaced, showing what he accused her didn t exactly happen. a reporter asked the white house about kelly s false claims. i want to play that clip. i think he s addressed that pretty thoroughly. he was wrong about getting it yesterday. if you want to go after
