the vitriol, the outright hostility the personalization of attacks against donald trump. it s similar sounds to what the press did during thee campaign, he underestimated donald trump and half the country and they haven t learned from those lessons. i think the press would be so much better off if they dropped the vitriol and start to understand what he is and to cover him because he s an outsider. they are so much part of the establishment it s very hard for them to break those traditions. sean: i disagreed with the president s policies, president obama i know you like him i give you his economic statistics almost every time you re on but i m not going to go there. the only time i really went after michelle obama is when she injected herself into the political arena, i can t believe anybody in this country would be saying for the first time in my adult life i am proud of my
idea. debbie wasserman schultz on the current dnc leadership has also denied any involvement in it. who knew about the dossier? as you just heard, donna brazile, what she was just saying, she was kept in the dark because she didn t control the money, and as she revealed,ng it was actually hillary clinton and her campaign that controlled the purse strings at the dnc. they had the authority, by the way, when it came to strategy, personnel, decision, budgeting, data, analytics and mailings. poor bernie. brazile also blasts fake news fake jake tapper in her book saying she felt betrayed by him after criticizing her for leaking democratic debate questions to hillary. remember, donna brazile pointed out it was hillary clinton s idea to pay those agitators to follow donald trump around. brazile also admitted that president trump was right about democrats paying protesters.ls also, brazile was right and that the book in the clinton campaign
was a cult. breitbart news chairman, mr. bannon, where were you one year ago tonight? i was with the president in the war room on the 14th floor of our campaign headquarters, and then went up to the residence when it got closer to victory. sean: let me ask you about yesterday, because you have been very outspoken. you are tired of weak republicans, but more importantly, they are trying to say last night was a referendum on donald trump. true or false? definitely false. what we had is an establishment candidate, ed gillespie won a primary, very hard fought primary versus corey stewart, and then really didn t try to embrace president trump or really the trump program until very late, where he just kind of basically talked about some of the issues, which i thought he should try to do more of. he never invited president trump, i think he had president bush campaign with him, marco rubio, condoleezza rice. they didn t invite president trump, they didn t invite cory stewart, who really
