And then she fired back and not in a big way. Bernie sanders, not easy to fluster. Heres the question what did the president say that made him react like this you know, it is really hard to keep up with that really what he said i didnt follow that. What made him say that . Fasten your seat belts. Lets get after it. President trump wants the same standard for an authoritarian strong man that he does for his Supreme Court justices. He tells the ap the apparent murder of a Washington Post journalist is another case of someone being guilty until proven innocent. He continues to take the word of the saudi king and crown prince over a growing body of evidence including the latest cnn reporting that it was a high ranking officer in the Saudi Intelligence Agency who oversaw a botched khashoggi mission. There is enough evidence for even some of trumps fiercest supporters to demand action. Lets turn to one of them. Florida congressman matt gates. Congressman, good to have you back on the show. M
You are the reason i stay up at night. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york, im chris hayes.

What youre seeing on your screen, this is happening. Second, the defendant, a russian named elana kushinova has linked to putin and was posing as an american to try to trick voters in our country. Third, this ongoing effort doesnt just repeat 2016 tactics with those attacks on american politicians. It also includes attacks on the very probe into those 2016 tactics with public criticism designed to trick americans into having trust issues, you might say, with bob mueller.
