anger, a great deal of frustration, alienation among sunnis. some of those sunnis aligned up with elements of the with the ousted saddam regime, and some of those sunnis formed together and they formed a group that went by a variety of names, but eventually came to be known as al qaeda in iraq. baghdadi came from this group. zakawi was also killed in a special operations raid. he was perhaps the group s most notorious leader the first time around. he was the one who really characterized the group s modus operandi, which was to terror ize civilians, to capture hostages, to behead them on video. like bin lauden himself, he was america s number one enemy. baghdadi did something different.
many times. welcome back to a.m. joy. i m ayman mohyeldin in for joy reid. you saw it there, donald trump defending his use of the word lynching on friday after a week of backlash over a tweet that read in part, if a democrat becomes president and the republicans win the house even by a tiny margin, they can impeach the president without due process or fairness or any legal rights. all republicans must remember what they are witnessing here, a lynching. now, of course, there is no comparison between the impeachment inquiry, which is a lawful, legal process outlined in the constitution, and the brutal practice of white people lynching african-americans to control, terrorize, and dominate them. this was noted in the new york times more than 4,000 african-american men, women and children were lynched, burned,
hyper partisanship is, it is a put-off, it turns people off, but not when you see elijah cummings. he always spoke in measured terms and tones about people on the opposite side of the aisle. i want to mention again fairness which will be badly missed. i want to talk about a quote, this fairness that elijah couplings had and the way in which he spoke, this inspiring way in which he spoke and here is a quote from him that i think many of us remember, i think it was over just the half couple of months, he said we must also stop the hate. incendiary comments. we got to do it. those in the highest level of governments must stop invoking fear using racist language and rep hencive behavior. it cause morse division among us and severely limbs our ability to 0 work together for the common good. as a country, we must say enough is enough, that we are done with the hateful rhetoric, we are done with the mass shootings, white supremacists, domestic terrorists who terrorize in our
that happened here in a part of the camp for syrians. it s a reaction to the psychological pressure on us. they should know more can be done than the raising of a flag, and more has been done. foreign women are no longer allowed to leave their annex and go to the market after two incidents when two guards were stabbed. the more radical terrorize those less devoted to isis. one woman says her tent was burnt down. another is so afraid of being stabbed she barely sleeps at night. outside the camp we get access to a prison. a surreal scene. former isis fighters painting and crafting papier-mache models. this man says isis held his family hostage to coerce him to join. isis gave me the bombs, he tells
so this is just he doesn t have the census, let me just be clear. the census question was the citizenship question on the census was a huge victory for us. i don t want to diminish that in any way. however, this president is still continuing to move towards the same goals he s always had which is terrorize, scare, keep all of these people in the shadows. let me ask you about the raids that have been announced by i.c.e. some of them are democrats that look, these are families that have deportation orders. what they have said is the universe of people we re going to be going for are folks that have deportation orders. they have had process. they have gone through the immigration process. they have been ordered deported. what would you have the government do? isn t this just enforcing the law, and shouldn t we enforce our immigration laws? so this is the thing. if you remember back to when obama instituted prosecutorial discretion because advocates across the country, including
