isn t the poll that just came out in new hampshire where i m a very high number, 35%, people like me across the board. evangelicals like me, democrats like me, conservatives like me. everybody likes me. and that doesn t make you worry there s something in your message striking the wrong kind of chord with people. i hope there s not. today trump made his feelings about one infamous racial supremacist very clear. trump, who has dismissed some mexican immigrants listen to this as rapists and criminals, or simply put as hitler. do you believe now, the hitler one i ve never heard until this morning when i woke up. i m not a fan of hitler. that might disappointment one of the enthused people who sipped his coffee adorn wed a swastika. joining me now, philip bump.
cover it. i m angry. i feel lied to. this man continues to lie to the american people. it s okay if he wanted to do it if he was to sell books, but he is running for president. he met with us. he had 30 minutes. he actually gave us more time than that. was so gracious, was so nice to us. really opened his doors and talked to us and asked questions about immigration and then said you convinced me, i got it. okay. sheriff jones, what about trump s message on immigration do you find appealing? do you agree with him that you want to see the federal government actually put in the resources and police powers that would be necessary to round up and deport 11 million people? no, never said that. but i do agree with him. this immigration issue, the illegal immigration is too far out of control. the republicans, the democrats won t do anything about it. they have all lied to us for the past few years. that s why trump s numbers are up.
emphasis on immigration and never got it done. so eric cantor was one of the advocates, leadership of the republican party saying we need to act on immigration. he stuck his neck out and the base reacted. now you re seeing them react even more strongly in this presidential primary and eric cantor is very much emblematic of what the republican party failed to do. do you think that if trump goes away tomorrow, this kind of rhetoric that we re seeing on immigration, the kind of language that is appealing to these members of the fringe, those sort of white nationalist fringe, does that go away or does that flow somewhere else? i think it probably tamps down. we should be very clear trump is not going away tomorrow. i think a lot of us have predicted many times he s going away but he s not going away tomorrow. i think it gets redirected a little bit and eventually sort of simmers out. i don t think without trump in the race it has the same energy. appreciate it. trump s views on imm
past few years. that s why trump s numbers are up. i believe that we ve got people here that should not be here. i believe in self-deportation. stop giving the free stuff to these people that are here illegal, the jobs, the money, the welfare. give those to americans. these people will go back on their own. they come back legally through the legal system. sure, i believe that. and when you you were talking about me earlier, you talked about the stunts that i did. these weren t stunts, these were actually things that needed to be done. we have people that have been killed in my county by illegals. we have people that have been raped. we have drugs coming in. this is ohio, we re not a border with mexico. sheriff, let me ask you this well, gaby, do you want to respond? the fear mongering is going to continue there. we know it s a fact immigrants have the lowest number of crime in the country. all the stuff is made-up numbers and it s all used to create fear of the other. fear of t
plus, the fastest man in the world runs into some trouble. wow! down goes both. and by exclusive interview with tennis world champion, novak djokovic. you don t want to know what s in an athlete s head. when all in starts right now. good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. today donald trump offered his most extensive explanation yet for his continued supremacy in the republican polls. talking to reporters after a rally in greenville, south carolina, trump explains what he means when he talks about the so-called silent majority that supports him. so you have a silent majority in this country that feels abused, that feels forgotten, that feels mistreated. and it s a term that hasn t been brought up in years, as you know. people haven t heard that term in many years. it s the silent majority. they want to see wins.
