states. right. and we don t really have a good sense of what the outcome will be because mississippi isn t a state where there s a whole lot of polling. that said it s a red state which is why you see someone like lindsey graham who tweeted a little bit ago that hyde-smith is good on the military, borders, conservative judges. he basically said, vote republican. vote republican. indeed. everyone, stick around. president trump said that mia love gave him no love. but after bowing out of her midterm race earlier today, congressman mia love, the first black female republican in congress, says she s now unleashed, untethered, unshackled. she s going to join me next live. with my hepatitis c, i felt i couldn t be at my best for my family. in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured and left those doubts behind. i faced reminders of my hep c every day. but in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured. even hanging with friends i worried about my hep c. but in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was
untethered, and unshack would. do you wish that unshackled. do you wish that you were more unspoken during your tenure especially about president trump? do you think if maybe you had been more outspoken maybe you would have won? look, i no. i don t have any regrets. as the house of representatives, the branch of government that s closest to people, i people that i represent from all ends of the spectrum. and it s important for me to make sure that i am considerate of their needs and their thoughts. i believe that we have a lot of work to do as conservatives. like i said, these policies work, they re good for people. we want to make sure that we give people a home or make people feel like they have a home. because republicans are compassionate. i am. the policies, it s it s one thing, but to apply that and be engaging to where people live and where their thoughts are and ma what affects their families, that to me is building a personal relationship where people can trust republi
god. and there s a lot of sort of conversation right now how christopher ray when asked by lester holt had he thought about resigning and hadn t. and dan coats, and just the overall sense he felt unshackled. he didn t pretend donald trump was normal. he didn t pretend donald trump was doing a good job on national security or intelligence. what is the collective feeling among the white house staff that donald trump s own appointees who had arguably the most important government agencies, the ones in charge of our military, our intelligence, our law enforcement are no longer pretending that donald trump isn t ridiculous? well, i think some of them are still pretty buttoned up, kirsten nielsen being a prominent example. right, because she said there s no evidence russia wanted to attack our elections. but more broadly, yes, one thing we are finding more and
people before he had to go back to arizona to deal with his brain cancer since president trump has been in office, time after time pushing back on him, the way that mccain feels that the president is eroding the basic tenants of american institutions that john mccain has spent 81 years fighting hard for in the united states navy, and then in the united states congress. there s no question about it, he says, look, i m unshackled, i m not going to run again, and i can talk about the fact that i like compromise, i like working on things together. there were times he was as open in the past with that as he is now. one thing i thought was so classic mccain. he wrote this with his long time adviser. at the end of the excerpt that we have, he quotes the character
listening in p. i wonder if anyone audibly gasped or if there were any sort of conversations about how he, you know, once again put his press staff in the position of being way over their skis once he came back and offered his to cents. well, i m sure there were conversations about this, which seemed like an impromptu decision to come back. and i doubt that he had prepped to talk about this. but certainly we have seen, time and again, especially in recent weeks, this president doing things his way. i mean, we have heard from a lot of folks inside the white house. he is feeling increasingly confident that he is the best person to decide how he speaks, his decision making on policy, on hiring, and we are really seeing sort of an emboldened president or as some people say, an unshackled president, perhaps, trying to do things his way. unshackled is the word sarah palin used when the 2008 campaign ended.
