Hey, john, they hate our country. they hate it, i think, with a passion. so kristen welker it sounds like that event where the president was speaking today, that was a separate event it. wasn t even clear he was going to be saying anything publicly about this. instead, he spoke extensively on this subject, obviously in some very inflammatory terms right there. now we expect to hear these four congresswomen come out to defend themselves and to take issue with what he s saying right there. is this what the white house wanted? is this how they wanted this day to end? reporter: i think it s what the president wanted, steve. that event, as you point out, was initially aimed at highlighting things thash made here in that were made here in america, the u.s. economy. yet president trump wound up answering a number of questions about his tweets, which are widely being called racist. look, there is a divide here between what president trump tweeted over the weekend and ....
