to dispatch the big guns to mop it up. however, that backfired when the vice president on the morning anchor backing biden illegitimacy claims. is he really concerned that we may not have fair and free elections? around our countries states put into place laws that are purposely making it more difficult for americans to vote. does he think now these bells haven t been passed, that the 22 midterms want to be legitimate are fair or free? let s not conflate issues. harris went further sing the g.o.p. s failure to pass voting rights administration was a blatant duration erosion of our democracy. however, republicans aren t buying it. democrats don t expect respect elections they don t win. now it s going to be 2022 appear to mean of joe biden thought that his party was going to win these elections and all would be fine. in the meantime in the
policy matter. do you think? i think i mean, past is precedent certainly here, and i think that s a very strong argument. it seems that this has particularly hit a chord, and i think emotions are strong. whether that lasts in the next couple of weeks, and pending the results of the investigation if it sorts out to be credible. clearly, susan, the president wants to take the saudi denials at face value, whether from the king or the crown prince. right. so he is doing the saudi pr work for them, saying maybe it is this rogue element, whether that is something we should be accepting as face value. nobody believes that. donald trump doesn t believe these denials. what he does is he needs a talking point to sort of get through to his next to his next point and avoid holding people accountable who he doesn t want to hold accountable. this is the same strategy he adopted on the russian investigation, saying he believed putin s denials over the u.s. intelligence. maybe it was this 40
didn t hold him accountable, didn t stand up for the basic and obvious truth that all of us understood. the question is whether or not they re going to do the same thing now. you know, one thing i think is potentially relevant is turkish officials leaking there may be very hard evidence and the nature of audio or visual truth might box in either the administration itself or certainly congressional republicans that are worried about being embarrassed over the long term. sabrina, the president once again tweeted today, all fake news, that he has any financial interest in saudi arabia. but listen to what he said in the past. saudi arabia, and i get along great with all of them. they buy apartments from me. they spend $40 million, $50 million. am i supposed to dislike them? i like them very much. i like the saudis. they re nice. i make a lot of money with them. they buy all sorts of stuff. all kinds of toys from trump. they pay me millions and hundreds of millions. hundreds of millio
saudi arabia. any suggestion that i have is just more fake news. but that s not true. just ask president trump, who bragged about his business dealings with the saudis during the campaign. they buy all sorts of my stuff, all kinds of toys from trump. they pay me millions and hundreds of millions. reporter: the president s latest comments on the khashoggi case sound as though he s prepared to accept the denials from the saudi government that its operatives murdered the journalist. it sounded to me like maybe these could have been rogue killers. who knows? reporter: but fellow republicans aren t buying it. senator lindsey gram warned the saudi crown prince known as mbs is dangerous. this guy has got to go. saudi arabia, if you re listening, there are a lot of good people you could use but mbs has tainted your country and himself. reporter: cnn has learned that advisers warned the president his handling of the khashoggi case could have global kblags
