Joined the fray. The particular comments of mr. Huckabee i think are just part of a general pattern that we see is would be considered ridiculous if it wasnt so sad. Weve heard sitting senators call john kerry a pontious pilot and suggest that im the leading state sponsor of terrorism. A reporter for cnn politics is joining me along with niamalika henderson. Welcome to both of you. Lets begin with Mike Huckabee. Hes standing by his remarks and why wouldnt he . This is a badge of honor when it comes to your base. Yes . Yeah. Well i think hes certainly getting what he hoped to get out of these comments which is hes grabbing headlines, drawing fire from the president head of the Democratic Party essentially and hes firing up his base at the same time. Listen this rhetoric may be considered inflammatory and controversial by many but for hike huckabee and for his base of supporters especially as we near the first republican primary debate his comments are doing exactly what he wants them to
First place . Savannah started it off saying i said he wasnt a hero. If you let it run you would hear me say hes a war hero. He called 15,000 people that showed up for me to speak in phoenix. He called them crazies because they want to stop illegal immigration. I do have a problem with what hes doing on the border. Hes terrible. And i do have a problem with the fact with the illegal immigration is a disaster. Hes doing a horrible job. Matt i see the vets. They come to me. These are powerful wonderful people and theyre crying. They dont know what to do. Theyre lost because of what were doing. Frankly Illegal Immigrants get treated better than many of our vets. Its disgrace of what is happening to our country. And john mccain has nothing about it but respect. I respect greatly the people that are captured. Nobody talks about them. We talk about john mccain hes very brave and all that. We dont talk about the people that werent captured. Thats what i was trying to refer to an i think i did
Churches and holiday events. Meanwhile, the state department is posting a travel warning for citizens traveling to egypt and jordan. This comes amid ongoing threats posed by terror groups and recent attacks in those countries. Lets guess to nina dos santos in milan. The developments about the three men arrested calling them terrorist elements, what else have you learn . The Tunisian Interior Ministry is confirming this afternoon that these three individuals were aged between 18 and 27 years old and they were arrested in various towns south of the capital tunis. One of them appears to be the nephew of amri. To officials, he had confessed he was uncontain contact with he who was killed about a day and a half ago. He via the messaging app telegram, its a system thats well known by jihadist to communicate in secret. Apparently his uncle had also, according to tunisian interior military officials sent money to this particular nephew of his and asked him to join isis. Thats the latest the tu
And here is the president two days later on thursday. Tonight i call on all civilized nations to join us in seeking to end the slaughter and bloodshed in syria. And also to end terrorism of all kinds and all types. So, okay. We figured there must be some politics behind this syria strike. Lets ask brendan boil, a democrat from pennsylvania. He sits on the Foreign Affairs committee and our analyst, malcolm nants. Let me go to the congressman second, but let me ask you, malcolm, we hear all kinds of things since the attack, theories that this is all some kind of understood back and forward with russia to cover things. This is something necessary in that the president was genuinely moved when he saw the pictures of the victims of the chemical weapons attack by asaad. I mean, from your intelligence background, what does this attack, the air strike really mean from a military standpoint. Well, it was clearly a demonstration of fire power. Thats what the president intended to project. A demo
Stand up for whats right. And the way that this congresswoman has been treated and the way the Johnson Family has been treated is a moral disgrace to the United States of america. Well talk with representative wilson and sergeant johnsons widow shortly. But first, democrats and republicans are plotting ways forward after tuesdays democrat victory and races big and small from coast to coast. Democrats are looking at this series of wins as a signal that President Trumps political brand has eroded one year after he won the white house. But republicans are left to ponder the flip side of that coin which is whether the president has already become a drag on their partys future. One year ahead of the crucial 2018 midterms. Joining me now is the governor of virginia, terry mcculloff. Thank you for joining us, governor. Reverend, great to be with you. Your state was probably the crucial state people were looking at on tuesday night. And the democrat won your chosen successor and won big as wel
