this is going to play out for a minute. you got democrats and republicans calling for him to step down. so, look, april, when the story first came out, he said that he apologized for being in the image, but 24 hours later he said, hey, it wasn t me. what do you make of that excuse? wasn t me. wasn t me. it reminds me of this r&b song, wasn t me. it looked like it, it wasn t me. i think you know the song i m talking about, shaggy. i do. yeah, but see here s the problem, george. when he came out and said i was one of the people, he didn t want to say which one he was. now today that was yesterday, and now today he s saying, it wasn t me, but i did, you know, used shoe polish to dress up like michael jackson for a contest, i did the moon walk. there is also another yearbook
congressional leader steve king and if they re screaming about them, they have to point the finger inside their own circle. and they re doing that. and they have someone who can replace him. his lieutenant governor who happens to be a black man. so this is this is going to play out for many. if he doesn t want to step down, but this is going to play out for many. you got democrats and republicans calling for him to step down. look, so, april, when the story first came out, he said he apologized for being in the image, but 24 hours later, he said, hey, it wasn t me. what do you make of that excuse? wasn t me. wasn t me. you know, it reminds me of the r&b song wasn t me. you know, though it looked like it, it wasn t me. i think you know the song i m talking about. i do. shaggy. yeah. but, see, here s the problem, george, when he came out and said i was one of the people, he didn t want to say which one
here are now exclusively, in his very first appearance on the ingraham angle , donald trump jr. thanks so much for being with us tonight. when the story first came out, reporters were quick to pounds, quick to turn the spotlight on to you. well, they always are. this isn t the first time. you saw it right after i did my testimony, and they said oh, donald trump jr. has the wikileaks information because presumably adam schiff liked it right after my testimony and conveniently took out the one before the four, meaning i had it six days before the website, as opposed to four days after the entire world side. this has gone on time and time again. it also happened when davis said something along the lines of i told my dad about the russian meeting. he was cnn source. he then walked it back and realized it was totally long. and yet today, they still haven t pulled that back.
