zero tolerance means consequences. as a woman and mother of four daughters i particularly take any accusation of sexual harassment very seriously. we are at a water shed moment on this issue and no matter how great an individual s legacy, it is not a license for harassment. i commend the brave women coming forward. so president trump is back in washington tonight as all of this unfolds. he landed just last hour. we brought you those images live here on cnn after he spent his weekend with his family celebrating thanksgiving in florida at their private resort. he didn t talk to reporters, though, tonight but as you know he does like to share via twitter. let s get to cnn s boris sanchez in washington following the president. fill us in on what the president is saying today about all of this. reporter: the president took to twitter today to attack a democrat but it wasn t john conyers or yal franken, it was doug jones, the adversary of
a member of the family, which will make him that much more valuable to the russian intelligence service. and to steve s point, donald trump sr. said something 15 minutes after the message was received from wikileaks saying, oh, your dad should tweet this stuff out. if it took 15 minutes, and we don t know if donald trump jr. did talk to donald trump sr., but it raises a huge question, but if he was willing to talk to his dad based on that, the idea he didn t talk to his dad based on this meeting he had when a russian lawyer from the kremlin tell him they have dirt on hillary clinton and the campaign, that seems unbelievable he didn t talk to his dad. to the question are any laws broken, it is illegal for an american to solicit anything of value from foreigner.
was his brother. neil: did video help you with that or did he lead you to that? no, video led us to that. he was not we never got to talk to him. he didn t talk to us at all. neil: okay. curious about those developments. ed davis, thank you very much. thank you. neil: senator lindsey graham thinks whatever you think, he s not a criminal. he s an enemy combatant. and should be treated that way with gitmo, nothing like a regular criminal. rebecca heinricks is here. what do you through of that. senator graham spent three decades as a military lawyer. he s right in principle. this man, he calls himself a soldier for isis. so we should treat him like a soldier for isis. that doesn t mean we have to
that s where we re at. okay. but then we got to brussels and, you know, let s talk about the optics in a minute. but on the substance, that was a real set back for what he did not say. first of all, you used the right verb, he lectured our nato allies, when earlier in saudi arabia he went out of his way to say, we don t lecture you on how to live and what to do. second, he didn t talk about the russia threat. he didn t talk he didn t use the word annexation. he didn t use the word invasion. third, he didn t talk about article 5, that an attack on one is an attack on all. and fourth, you know, i just have to say, i watched the speech and i found it just unbecoming. it wasn t leader-like to lecture them about 2% and not say a word, for instance, about the hundreds of soldiers from nato countries that died with us in afghanistan. had he said that and then talked about the 2%, that would have sounded like a leader.
he didn t talk to journalists beforehand or the policy community, and i think that was perhaps the biggest flaw and the biggest mistake. the biggest knock you hear about paul ryan that it rings true, tom is here is this incredible policy wonk who hates politics and he took a job that was all politics. he knew he wasn t as suited for it as others wanted it to be. the president put his arms around it, but i think he s been wounded in this quite honestly and nobody else wants that job and quite surprised, however, and i hesitate to use the phrase, naivety. doesn t aaron rodgers always start slow, though? isn t he always start slow in the. best line i ve heard week is a day without a tweet is a very good day. it s also very hard to no matter how good of a politician you are to sell the idea of taking 24 million people s healthcare away. that is not sellable. in ryan s defense, i don t
