desantis. today ron said this about his opponent. he is an articulate spokesman for those far left views and he is a charismatic candidate. none of that was my cup of tea, but he performed better than the other people there. we have to make hard we continue florida going in a good direction. let s build off the success we ve had of governor scott. joining us now, mayor andrew gillum. mayor, thank you very much for joining us tonight. really appreciate it. thank you so much for having me, lawrence. i hope you re well. i am. i want to get your reaction to what we just heard congress desantis say about you. the congressman clearly plans
prosecutor was appointed. so he got fired in april, john dean. and then cox was appointed in may. but he replaced the person, and there was a full staff. and so there was no problem with that. but his timing here seems to be something that mcgahn maybe is thinking was a setup that some of his enemies, his mcgahn s enemies leaked a story and that that s what led to trump calling the bluff and saying, okay, you have been talking about resigning in the fall. now you resigned. i m telling you you are out in the fall. so it sounds like he was pushed out in that way, even though he intended to leave. ron, there is a report also within that washington post story tonight about the president being very jealous of jared kushner s lawyer, abbie lowell. he is maybe the single most experienced or one of certainly
military ally and really getting them caught in the middle and the president of course going against the secretary of state. ron s point is right on target because these are the grown-ups in the cabinet and a lot of people were reassured that you would have grown-ups in the room but now the grown-ups are realizing that they are basically in a room with toddlers. i think that that story from politico, the fact that it leaked out is extraordinary, the fact that tillerson is not pushing back on is extraordinary. the fact that kushner would suggest that rex tillerson is unprofessional, so there s definitely trouble in paradise. this is the difficult, too, when you have a president without governing experience, that s fine, but is surrounded by people without governing experience. the most insular part of the white house has no experience in doing any of this. whether it s good or bad at some point you want people around you who have been through something like this before and to say,
them. i think a lot of people voted for donald trump saying i know he doesn t know a lot of this stuff. that s not the point, he s going to hire really good people, that s what a goodell gator does, i think that s the next challenge is to say i can do all of those things. we have to leave it there but that s exactly the problem with the white house counsel, the vetting, nonvetting of mike flynn, the problem that you have at the chief of staff level with all of the legislative strategy. to be continued. so glad to have you all here. ron, amy, charlie. and coming up, a top adviser to pope francis charged with sexual assault. a live report on a shocking report out of the vatican next. welcome to holiday inn!
have a direct connection to someone here in the u.s. the question is when it comes to relatives just how do they define that connection? who is a relative? joining me now is ron klane former chief of staff to vice president joe biden and gore. amy walter and charlie sykes veteran conservative radio host and msnbc contributor. welcome all. thanks, andrea. you are the lawyer, also a former top staff member on the senate judiciary. how they define what a relative s you re telling someone that their grandma is not a relative but their sister-in-law is? look it seems ash tra err. i think president trump will find himself back in court in the next couple hours because the supreme court had a broad definition of some connection to the united states, could have been a business connection, could have been someone enrolled in a university and the trump administration today announced a very, very narrow definition.
