you began to see this bubbling up and it was going unchecked. even in 2015. we are six years away from just a few a few weeks ago, when we remembered the the victims of the charleston massacre. when dylan ruth went in and murdered nine black folk on a wednesday night in bible study in church. and so, this has been bubbling up. donald trump is not the cause of this. but he definitely has added gasoline to the fire. and the biggest problem that that we have in this country is that the republican party cannot win, without the xenophobes, the racists, the anti-semites. and so they are having a great deal of difficulty pushing back on this and bringing our country together because they can t do without them. scott, i know you have response to that. and also, can the gop, can they extinguish what bakari is talking about? he didn t start the fire. but do they have the tools to actually extinguish the flames? well, i think that if the republican party wants to win a national election

politics, why? because i care about this country, and they care about the states. if you think about the entire trajectory of american life over the last 30 or 40 years, you have elites and the ruling class that have plundered this country, made it harder for middle-class americans to live o normal life. when those americans dare to complain about the conditions of their own country, about the southern border or jobs beingo shipped overseas, they get called racists and bigots, xenophobes, or idiots. they need somebody who s willing to fight for them. i just want normal americans toe know they still have a voice in this country, they love this country, but they should be able to criticize it when it s not working for them, and right now, it s just not. tucker: i love that. this is not false flattery, i don t think i ve met anybody who understands both worlds as well as you do. you grew up there in a very working class environment, wound up at yale law school in a

sir, thank you for joining me p. it s nice to see you again. let s talk about the nature of the partisanship of this potential commission. it s partisan. donald trump is at the epicenter of it. how can you get around the part of we want it to be bipartisan, not partisan. can it be bipartisan? i think it can be if you don t have xenophobes on both sides. pelosi is visionary in that regard. the difficulty comes when you have members of congress deeply concerned about redistricting and reapportionment and trying
