jail in china on allegations of shoplifting. if the president got involved and helped him get out of that situation, would you thank him? here s the question. and that is truly the question. if the president did what he alleges he did on twitter, that s number one. number two, lavar ball brought this up, confined to a jail. they were confined to their hotel room. i don t know how they got to their hotel room. but here s what i do know. the president himself often puts his own credibility at stake. you can breathe hard, that s fine. his credibility is often at stake. we can point to what just happened with fredericka wilson and this phone call about la david johnson. this man regularly says that he does things that no one else recalls it being done that way. so there s reason to say maybe he didn t have that much to do with it. the fact that he thinks they were in jail and they were
thread on suspicions about the president s kree jewelty, do you think lavar ball saw an opportunity here and went for it, that s why he s playing with the thank you? i think the president actually started this. the issue is, he talked about his children. i don t know that many parents out here that wouldn t take sincere offense at begging their kids to grovel for being back here. they re already saying they re grateful. so the president took shots at them first, and i think it s second nature for any parent to defend their children, whether they re wrong or right. this is on the president? he shouldn t have been asking for thanks, it s beneath him, do you agree? i wouldn t do it that way, it goes to show that everything is so hyperpartisaned now, that the president talking about how he got people freed from china can turn into a criticism of the president and a big partisan well, unless angela rye s
