A news and interview program, anchored by Erin Burnett. A news and interview program, anchored by Erin Burnett. Obtained by msnbc. If sessions wont unrecuse and Mueller Wont Clear the president , were the only ones, which is really the danger. Thats why, i keep and thank you for saying it, by the way. We have to keep all of these seats. We have to keep the majority. If we do note keep the majority, all of this goes away. Its an astonishing remark, because thats not the job of congress. Congress responsibility is to check the president , the special counsels job is to investigate him. Its supposed to be fair and unbiased. Congress job is not there to sit there and protect a sitting president. But this is the type of thing we have heard before, to try to rile up and motivate the trump basis, that the midterms are really all about protecting the president. This election is going to be about impeachment or no impeachment. Kaitlan collins is outfront live in berkeley heights, new jersey, that is where the president is on his working vacation. Kaitlan, what do you know about
muell with mueller . How long it can be, what are the questions, what is it about . And giuliani specifically said, what did you say about flynn and why did you fire comey are two questions that would be off the table, which if you were going to ask about Obstruction Of Justice, those are core questions, again, if Obstruction Of Justice is important to mueller. If President Trump refuses to sit down, do you think that mueller should subpoena him and take the risk of that subpoena being rejected . Yes. I say you should test that. Look, no person is above the law. We are a nation that triumphs the rule of law. The president is not above the rule of law. And a subpoena was issued to president clinton and they negotiated the terms of it. But the idea that giuliani and trump unilaterally get to keep things off the table that cant be asked, that goes to the very heart of the purpose of a criminal investigation. And i think you said it well, erin, those are very material subjects that must be examined, with the president. I want to play for you,
again, part of what your colleague, devin nunes, the republican congressman said at that fundraiser, right, when he said, you know, the reason republicans need to retain control of the house is to protect the president. Msnbc obtained that recording. Let me just play a brief clip for you. If sessions wont unrecuse and Mueller Wont Clear the president , were the only ones, which is really the danger. Thats why i keep and thank you for saying it, by the way we have to keep all of these seats. We have to keep the majority. If we do not keep the majority, all of this goes away. Whats your reaction to that . Congress is the last Group Standing to protect the president. I wish i could tell you im shocked. But i think that devin nunes that has proved that hes nothing but a paid operative for the white house and for this president. And hes willing to sell his soul. And for that matter, his country and the integrity of the United States congress as an institution to serve that cause. I take an oath and so does he, to uphold the constitution of the United States, to protect the laws, and defend the laws of the United States of america. I do not take an oath and neither does mr. Nunes to protect the president of the United States. Especially from an ongoing criminal investigation. Your fellow democrat, congressman ted lieu, said nunes should resign for those comments. Do you agree . I think nunes should have resigned, frankly, for his despicable behavior earlier as chairman of the intelligence committee, when he actually it got so bad, he had to recuse himself for the russia investigation. I think mr. Nunes has revealed who and what he is, and i think he has sullied the integrity of the congress of the United States. A number of democrats have thrown around the world treason, in connection with this president , repeatedly. I dont believe youre one of them, at least not that we found today, but several of your colleagues have, and i just wanted to play it for you. What donald trump is suggesting is treasonous. This is moving into perjury,
false statements, and even into potentially treason. Im saying that the president , by his own definition dont blame the president let me just ask you, in the new york times, Contributing Editor wrote today, that they need to stop, because in the accusations of treason, those comments are destructive. Do you think some of your colleagues are going too far and throwing that very, very significant word around too lightly . I think were at a very grave moment in american history. And i think, frankly, our rhetoric and our behavior ought to reflect that. If were just seen as hyperbolic partisans, were going to be discredited, and the very serious issues that must be examined will, frankly, be diluted and debased. And we cant afford that at this moment in our history. So i would hope that all of my colleagues would approach this with a seriousness of purpose
and some caution and prudene in their rhetoric. So youre everything we see in front of us is seriousness. So youre saying, its very serious and grave, yet you would not use that word . Youre not comfortable saying treason, not yet . No. No, i think thats a pretty strong word. And i think weve got plenty to deal, without having to go there. All right, congressman connolly, i appreciate your time. Thank you, erin. And next, a razorthin race in kansas getting even tighter tonight.

The tooclosetocall kansas governors race getting closer tonight. The lead for the trumpbacked kris kobach, controversial kansas Secretary Of State who led President Trumps voter fraud commission, dropping to 91 votes over the current republican governor, jeff col r colyer. Its pretty incredible. Think about the United States of america. We are talking about a 91vote margin. As you can see, you know, out of
250,000, 275,000plus votes cast. Governor jeff colyer is outfront. So i appreciate your time, governor. Kris kobach has a razorthin margin over you of 91 votes. Do you want a recount . You know, its too soon. We want the first count to go through, erin. The first count is going to be happening between now and august 20th. There are thousands of ballots out there, mailin ballots, provisional ballots that havent been counted yet. And theres only a 91 or a 104 difference, depending on whos counting right now. Its too close to call. All right. So youre saying august 20th, not before then. Youre not going to call for a recount until august 20th . You know, what were seeing out there is every county has to have a canvass, Skpe Wiand We W make sure that every vote is counted. There are dozens of ballots that havent even been delivered yet to the election office. If you were in the mail, if you voted on saturday, sunday, monday, tuesday, put it in the mail. If its in the mail system,
under kansas law, it has to be counted. Under kansas law, ksa251132. And its important we make sure every vote is counted. So basically, your bottom line is youre not rushing here, youre going to wait a little bit. I think Everybody Needs to have a little bit of patience. We have to get the first count right. And we want to make sure that every vote is counted. Weve heard about provisional ballots, people that were unaffiliated, that had changed to republican on that day, be given they were given provisional ballots, rather than an actual republican ballot. We want to make sure the law is followed. We want to make sure all of those mail ballots are counted. So the margin tonight, as i just said, at least as we have it right now, according to the Secretary Of States website, the Secretary Of State, obviously, being kris kobach, is 91 votes. Earlier today, it was 191 votes. Correct. According to the county clerk, the 100 votes that went to you were left off the states unofficial results page. As i mentioned, kris kobach is
the Secretary Of State, so he oversees the vote count, that tally, and that page. Do you think this was an inadvertent, honest mistake . You know, i dont know why this that particular mistake happened and i think as long as we make sure that the law is very clear and being followed, there have been issues out there, i want to make sure that kansans have the confidence that we have the right legal advice in this, and that every vote is counted. So, governor, a recount, if there is one, would beover se o by kobach, your rival, because that is his job. He said he would be willing to recuse himself, if you asked him to, to a recount. So have you talked to him or his team directly about that, about a recount. I know youre not ready to demand one yet, but if you do, that you want him to recuse himself . It is actually not even about a recount. It is about providing the legal advice. And we have sent him a letter today that asks that these responsibilities be given over
to the Attorney General. I think its important that all of these provision aal ballots, all of these and you mean, what votes are provisionals are going to count or not count, whatever. You want him to recuse himself from that Decision Making at this point, and that advice. I want him to have the correct advice that everybody can rely on. And i think the Attorney General would be the right person to do that. Okay. So has he responded to your letter saying, hey, kris kobach, you should not be doing that, the Attorney General should. Has he responded to that letter . I know you sent it just about about on hour or so ago . Thats correct. We have just delivered that letter to him. Lets give them some time to respond. All right, so youre waiting i think everybody wants to have a good election, that has integrity, that all of the votes are counted. Yes. Lets make sure that that happens. You know, the fascinating thing about this, governor, its not just that its so close, that so Many Americans cant even imagine that were in a situation like that. And that one of the people involved is the sitting governor and the other involved is overseeing the vote count. Its not just that shakespearean
drama, its this. Its President Trump endorsed kris kobach a day before the primary, went on twitter, saying, speaking of kobach, he would be a great governor and has my full endorsement. Do you think that made the race closer . I dont know what that did. We havent started to evaluate those things, because the vote hasnt been counted yet. We want to make sure everybody gets their vote counted. We support the president. Im a republican im going to support the republican nominee. So youll support kobach if he wins . Yes, of course. We want a republican governor to win here in kansas. Its about making sure that these republican values, that the economy is growing, that our schools are wellfund. Thats the important thing, to me. I am curious, though, because, i mean, look, the president didnt have to weigh in on this. And in fact, according to the new york times, the Republican Governors Association did not want him to weigh in on this and he chose to, he jumped in, did what he wanted to do, and it was against you and for kobach. Your state voted for trump ore
hillary clinton, governor. You know this well, but our viewers may not. More than 20point margin. Is it possible that the president is more in tune with voters in your state and with his base than you are . You know, i have been very supportive of the president. We have supported him i even wrote a Letter Nominating him for the nobel prize. I think whats important is i didnt know that. He may have had a personal relationship there, i respect that. For me, its about we unifying as republicans and i think that we are going to continue to lead the state. Im very excited about the opportunity, were continuing on in the general election process and were raising money. We have volunteers flooding in. This is about winning our election. Were happy to work with the president. Governor, can i just ask you one question, because im curious. The nobel prize, was it for kim jongun explicitly that you wro the letter . I have no idea. I was just wondering there were several governors that signed the that letter there. But for me, whats important is, were going to work as republicans, were going to work for the best interests of our state. And i really appreciate that kansans have the opportunity to vote, express their vote, have all of the information in front of them. And i think theyre starting to see that i was a governor who was starting to change things. Our Credit Rating is going up. Were dealing with education issues. The economy is starting to improve. I think thats a great message for us. All right. Well, governor colyer, i appreciate your time and thank you very much. Great. Its good to be back. All right. And next, a disturbing story that youll see only outfront. A neonazi dividing a small town, growing more confident. He says its because of President Trump.

The man at the center of it says that trumps election has emboldened him and his followers. It comes as White Nationalists prepare to take to the streets this weekend, one day after the deadly charlottesville rally. Our sara sidner is outfront in euless, pennsylvania. I want to warn you, though, when you watch this piece, some of the language that you will hear is the extremely disturbing. Reporter in the calm of this rural northern pennsylvania town, a sign that hate lives here. Are you a neonazi . Do i embrace it . Um, i dont try to push it away. Reporter well, youre wearing a swastika on your shirt. Exactly. Reporter and youve got swastika flags. Why the flags . Why the shirt . Why these hateful symbols in this town . I dont think theyre hateful. I think its an ideology that has been completely misinterpreted since the third reich. Reporter okay, now ive got to stop you. Misinterpreted . Misinterpreted . 6 million jews no no, youll never sell me on
that. Im not trying to sell you. Its reality. Its history, it cannot be denied. Reporter Daniel Burnside is a Lightning Rod of discord in e ewe liss, pennsylvania. Rural america spoke up when they elected trump. Rural america. Reporter and by rural america, he means white america. Were staring down the barrel of a gun here in rural america. Theres still 193 white americans. Yes, the vast majority of them are in their 60s and 70s, will be in the ground in the next 20 years, and therefore, we have the possibility of becoming a minority in our own country. A possibility reporter it sounds to me like youre afraid of being me. And being me this is my country. Reporter is great. This is also my country. You guys didnt win the culture war. Reporter he invited us on his property to talk, but when he doesnt like our conversation, he explodes. Get the [ bleep ] out of here [ bleep ] now reporter we do. Just down the street, were met
by a dozen residents, who say burnside does not speak for this town. There are families in this county that blame politics for people like him sort of being able to come out and be very loud. Is that fair . Our president weve got right now hasnt helped the situation a whole lot. You know, hes got a lot of the same beliefs. At least he wont speak against him, okay . This guy feeds off of that stuff. Reporter among the crowd, many with grandfathers or fathers who fought the nazis in world war ii. Were good people and hes stepping on us. Hes stepping on all of us. You know, we are all were all one tribe. You know, who does he think he is . Reporter teacher Debby Hamilton says he just returned from Touring Concentration Camps in poland. One of the things we spent a lot of time talking about was Passive Resistance versus active resistance. Reporter so far, theyve chosen Passive Resistance with burnside. On the other side of potter county, joe and sheshina lechner
are convinced that Passive Resistance is the wrong choice. Im not saying you should go to their houses with pitchforks and guns, you know . Im saying, hold a peaceful protest against him. Traditional Knights Of The Ku Klux Klan neighborhood watch. Reporter after seeing kkk flyers appearing in their neighborhood and burnsides declarations in his county, joe did protest, only to receive a threat against one of the supremacists he stood against. They would look at me and give me the finger and even make little gestures, you know, like they were going to shoot me. Reporter joe says the racial hatred intensified when his jamaican bride arrived. In walmart, i got a lot of that. Reporter in their minds, if more people stood up against hate, the racist would be forced to leave and let love stand. T the leschners moved about four hours away to another small town, but she finally feels comfortable walking down the street. And as for ulysses, they have
dealt with a neonazi before and they pushed him out several years ago, but that was because he broke the law and theres nothing they can do about burnside unless he does the same. Sara, incredible recording. I want to go to mark marc lamont hill. Marc, look, you heard the man there, the neonazi, you also heard one of the members of the community there. That Gentlemen Say, and i quote him, the president that weve got right now hasnt helped the situation a whole lot. Hes got a lot of the same beliefs. At least he wont speak against them. This guy, referring to burnside, feeds off of that stuff. Your reaction . Is this enabled by the president . It is absolutely enabled by the president. Its exhausting watching this, with you know . You have a president Who Normalizes white supremacy, normalizes antiblack racism. Even if he doesnt echo what this guy says, he creates an environment where that stuff
seems okay. And thats how he feels. Its not that he creates racism and white supremacy, although he may nurture it, but makes an environment where you can say it out loud, which creates danger for other people. Not just abstract danger or theoretical danger, but reallife violence. Amy . Yeah, listen, erin, that piece made me sick, too. It made me uncomfortable and i dont like it and i understand why the people feel the way they feel about the guy that lives in their community. But you cant blame this on the president. He has nothing to do with this. We are in an environment right now where everybody is overstimulated, its a 24hour news cycle, theres 24 7 social media and its like a pressure cooker. And people need to take a step back and decompress and get away from politics a little bit, because this is not healthy for us to be always at each other like this. I mean, when you sit most americans down at a table and talk about issues, we agree on most things, erin. But because of the 24 7 and the social media, its, everybodys at each other all the time and we need to stop. I hear your point, but okay, go ahead. Go ahead. So if were blaming social media and were blaming the 24hour news cycle, lets look on social media. Whos the biggest tweeter out there . Not kanye west, donald trump. Lets look at the 24hour news cycle. Whos the biggest story on every news channel . Donald trump. If we blame rap music, if we blame music, if we blame movies, if we blame culture, we blame everything down to the teletubbies over the last 30 years, how can we not look at the fact that the biggest pop culture figure, the biggest media figure, the most powerful man in the world is donald trump, a man who has said, there are good people on both sides at a White Nationalist rally. Someone who says that judge curiels mexican identity makes him incapable of being impartial. Somebody who has said that i just want to i want to play something, because i think this is the question. I want to say, burnside himself,
the man that everyone watching found sickening, you included, he told the Washington Post that since november 2016, activity has doubled, among his neonazis, okay . So hes putting trumps inauguration as the date that was important to him in terms of getting followers. And when you hear that other Gentlemen Say the president wont speak against him, hes got some of the same beliefs, amy, this is what hes talking about. Let me someplace some of them and give you a chance. Im going to play them right now. Heres the president. When mexico sends its people, theyre not sending their best. Theyre bringing drugs. Theyre bringing crime. Theyre rapists, and some, i assume, are good people. Were building a wall. Hes a mexican. Were building a wall between here and mexico. You are if saying, he cant do his job because of his race, is that not the definition of racism . No, i dont think so at all. I think islam hates us. Oh, look at my africanamerican over here. Look at him. Are you the greatest . She is a lowiq individual, m maxine waters. Shes somewhere in the mid60s, i believe that. Amy, do you really think that doesnt embolden neonazi, White Nationalists, racists . Erin, why would it embolden them . I think thats ridiculous. Look at antifar, theyve amped up their attacks, whose fault is that . It goes both ways. It doesnt make it right. Donald trump is not a racist. And what is happening here is that people want to throw that racist label at him, because they dont want to talk about the good things hes doing right now. Because hes saying racist thing. These are strawmen. First, no one said its Donald Trumps fault. Also, this Conversation Isnt About Donald Trump being racist. The question is, is there a relationship between what Donald Trumps doing and how these people are feeling . The most compelling piece of evidence is that White Nationalists are saying, yes, donald trump makes us feel better and stronger and safer and more confident. Theyre saying that the day that they can marc their origin story of getting stronger is the day he became president. And when you add the laundry list of things that hes said and done that they approve of, it goes to prove that he is strengthening their position. We could have a different conversation about whether or not donald trump is racist, and we could have a different conversation about the red herring of donald trump making the world better, which you were about to go into, but the point right here is that donald trump makes these people feel safer and better and stronger and everything he says and does is in line with their agenda. What do you say to that, amy, that the man there, the neonazi has said, since 2016, their activity has doubled. He is crediting the election of donald trump. He is the neonazi. You know, i dont know that that is true. So hes saying it. But, amy, with doesndoesnt matter . Thats what emboldened a racist
and hateful person . He is crediting the president. Donald trump has no concern over who supports him and who doesnt. He cant tell people not to support him. And he cant go out there and Mic Micromanage these groups and communities across the country. Yes, he can he can totally tell people not to support him. Can i finish . I let you talk, marc. Let me talk. What you dont want to talk about is that africanamerican Approval Ratings from donald trump have doubled in the past month, from 15 to 30 . Thats the thing, because hes creating jobs, the economy is back on track. Hes doing exactly what he said he was going to do. And thats a big story. But instead, its like, squirrel look over here at this i mean, this guy is nobody. In a little town of 650 or 690 people, in a nation of how many millions, i mean, hes no one. And just putting it on the news is only giving him advertising. I mean, thats what were doing. There are massive rallies planned for this weekend by neonazis. Whats that . There are rallies. There are people who are coming out. This is not something that
happened before, amy. Erin, what are we going to do i cant stop that . It doesnt mean that i im not saying you can, but im asking, do you acknowledge that the president of the United States is part of the reason . No, hes not i dont know how you can acknowledge that you may say hes not a racist, but you have to acknowledge that he has empowered these people to hear their voice. No, what is happening is everybody tries to throw the racist label at him, because theres no way to how do you push back against that . You cant totally debunk it, because you cant prove whats on somebodys heart. Thats the problem. And so when you cant win you just admitted we cant totally debunk it. Thats a horrific thing to have to admit about a man you support, right . I cant totally debunk that hes not a white supremacist. Hes not a racist, hes not a white supremacist. I mean, that is ridiculous yeah, well, i dont think i mean, we can disagree on that. Okay. I dont think its ridiculous. When you call the countries in africa blankhole countries. And when you say judge curiels mexican identity makes it
impossible for him to be impartial. When you refer to mexicans as rapists and thieves. When you go over and over when you go to a white pre supremacist rally or hear the news of a white supremacist rally and say there are good people on both sides, there arent good people at white supremacist rallies. The fact he said that, awful. The fact that he wouldnt not denounce these people, is awful. So if hes a racist, why did he just grant Alice Johnson clemency when barack obama wouldnt . Tell me that. Why did he let her out of prison. Thats the Kim Kardashian marc . Yeah, no, im very familiar with it. You can grant Someone Clemency and still have a belief that theyre inferior. You can grant Someone Clemency and still believe that their countries of original, like africa, are blankhole countries. Im not saying hes never done anything for a black person. He may have loaned a black person money, given them a job, given them a hug, put them on apprentice, gave them a white house position, that doesnt change the fact that he has done and said things as far as policy go that reflect a racist agenda
and an attempt to appeal to white supremacist. Thats the problem. Thats why africanamerican unemployment is at the low test its ever been. Okay, thank you both. Thats not a racist policy. I appreciate your time. Next, President Trump facing questions about one of his most loyal, and by the way, his first supporter in congress. Mr. President , any response to Chris Collins being indicted . Plus, another race too close to call. That is the special election in ohio.

President trump refusing to answer questions today about representative Chris Collins, the first member of congress to endorse trumps president ial bid. Mr. President any response to Chris Collins being indicted . Mr. President . Mr. President , any response to Chris Collins . Exit thank you. Got to love the look on his face there. Collins, of course, was arrested yesterday, charged with inside trading. Yet, he says hes not giving up. His name is still on the ballot in november. But what was once considered a reliable republican win now, with this, has democrats smelling blood in the water. Alex marquardt went on the scene to talk to voters and is outfront. Reporter in the far western reaches of this firmly blue state, new yorks 27th
congressional district is as red as it gets. A district that went heavily for President Donald Trump in 2016, where in that last election, voters gave representative Chris Collins a 34point landslide victory. Bill schroeder is a mayor in this district and was one of those voters. Now, after collins was arrested for and charged with insider trading, schroeder says he and others are changing their minds about the congressman. So what do you think the reaction was in Western New York when they saw this happen yesterday, when he was arrested . I think, shocked. Just, you know, no one would have expected that. So i think theyre all still taking it in. Like, really . This actually happened . You know, it was pretty major. If i were him, i would be reconsidering my position. Reporter you would like to see him step down . Well, it might be in his best interests as well as the constituents. Reporter across the street is the polka dot diner, a favorite of Chris Collins. Hes come here for Campaign Stops and to celebrate victories. People here were proud to tell us how often collins stops by. And while they, too, say they were disturbed by the news,
supporters like paul casper told us theyre sticking by him, for now. It looks kind of bad for him, but im still a supporter. Reporter youre going to stick with him and vote for him again in november . Yeah. Reporter no question . No question. Reporter casper wants a court to issue its verdict before the court of Public Opinion issues there. As does vietnam vet, roy stringham. I think hes lost a little support in new york, but these people have been voting for him for, what, seven or eight years now, nine years. Reporter you think most will stick by him . I think so. Reporter as the republican Support Waivers for collins, democrats are seizing on the chance, however slim, to actually compete in a district theyd otherwise have no chance in. The Democratic Campaign arm saying, with collins arrest for corruption, this seat is firmly in play for democrats. And its Nate Mcmurray leading the democratic charge. A local Town Supervisor challenging collins for the seat, now seeing an opening. Well, its a Shot In The Arm for us, thats for sure. I think that our strategy is to its to tell people, look it the system has failed you. It has endorsed a candidate that they thought should just coast in. Someone we all knew had these problems. Someone that despite these problems, Party Leadership said, this is the guy. Reporter and erin, in light of the collins news, independent analysts have changed their rating for this district for november from solidly republican to likely republican. So it is still very much an uphill fight for Nate Mcmurray and the democrats. Still, in a midterm year where republicans are defending so many different districts, spending so much money, this was one district that President Trump and the gop did not think that they would have to think about. And now they do. Erin . Thank you very much, alex. Appreciate that. And also new tonight, not conceding. We talk about these congressional seats. When we look at the democrat in ohios special congressional election, he says he has no plans to concede. The race remains too close to
call. Danny oconnor trails Troy Balderson by 1,500 votes. This one is incredibly close. Danny oconnor is outfront and i appreciate your time. So polls closed 48 hours ago. Obviously, you have not yet conceded. I know you are waiting for more votes. What are you waiting for or are you getting ready to concede . Well, we want to make sure that all the is votes are counted. We still have 8,000 votes that are yet to be counted. Were only down by about 1,500 votes. And we just picked up 200 votes last night. So were still out there, making sure that democracy works. We still have ballots being mailed in from across the world. We have soldiers across the world who are mailing their ballots back. But, you know, we always news that august 8th was going to be the same win, lose, or too close to call. Weve been out the last two days talking to voters about why they need real leadership in washington, d. C. And why we need a change in our political system. So, you know, when you look at those numbers and look, i get it, 8,000 still outstanding. Youre only behind by about
1,500. That adds up to trailing by 0. 8 . And i know the threshold, danny, to formally qualify for a recount is half of 1 . Now, the thing is, even if you hit that, right, and get the recount, you have to go back to 1984 for a time congressional recount found a different winner, which Congress Later overturned, which is a separate issue. The bottom line is, how confident are you that this will flip . Because every day you wait, youre waiting, and youve got to run against this guy, again, in november. Yeah, test test theyre doing a great job making sure everybodys votes are counted. Were not resting or sitting on our laurels, were out talking to voters why we need to have real representation in washington and votes go to washington, d. C. Who arent bought and paid for. I was out campaigning yesterday and today. We are encouraged, i was at one of the local diners in our
district, people saying how excited they were to vote and in a couple months and that were going to washington in a couple weeks. 1984, you just mentioned, been that amount of time since we had a competitive race in the ohio 12 district. People are excited about the choice and excited to send someone to washington who will have their backs. You have a fair point. A reliably republican race. The president , of course, won handily, right . You look at the turnout, you had surging turnout in suburban areas that swing democrat and suppressed turnout in urban areas. He had weak turnout and you had amazing turnout. It still tonight was not enough to push you over the top. Why do you think november will be different . People said, look, we went all out and lost. Were done, im not going to do
this twice. Were not worried but we wont rest. We were down 10 points a month ago and as of tonight, down. 7 points. Give me three months to talk to voters and spend time with folks in their coffee shops to talk about healthcare access. My opponent wants to raise the Retirement Age. These are things worth fighting for. You give us some time we will have as many conversations as we can have. You talk about changing the Retirement Age. Thats controversial. That discussion comes with socialism, a push towards by some in your party. Bernie sanders and cortez, proudly a socialist. And ben jealous now the democratic nominee for governor in maryland was asked about this and denied yesterday he was a socialist in some salty terms. Here is the exchange. Reporter not to put too fine a point on it, do you identify
with the term socialist . Are you [bleep] kidding me . Is that a fine enough point . Hes apologized for his use of that word. Its clear, he wants nothing to do with being called a socialist. Do you agree . You dont want to be called a socialist and you be okay with that . We need to move beyond labels. When families sit around the kitchen problem, theyre not looking for a solution from the Democratic Party or Republican Party or any other ideology. College, medicare fraud, thats not your beef or is it . You know, im focused on making sure we have Economic Opportunity for all families. I think like you mentioned, protecting the Retirement Age and earned benefits folks have worked hard for, Social Security and medicare is so important. We ask folks to work hard in this country and do it 40, 45 years, do it every morning and
clock in and clock out thinking they will have retirement at the end. When folks want to pull the rug out like my opponent does thats a problem. American workers are great and we have their back. Interesting, you wont decry that label of socialist and dont want a label no, i wouldnt say im a socialist, i am not. Find out why folks are turning on Paul Manafort, left and right.
