Yes, she offered comfort to the families in one tweet and other tweets much different. some of her former campaign aides that the president had failed in his role in comforter in chief in terms of the crisis in puerto rico. "we wondered how trump would handle a crisis. never guess he would attack the victims." in this case, it was clinton who today tweeted, "the crowd fled at the sound of gunshots. imagine the deaths if the shoot her a silencer, which the n.r.a. wants to make easier to get." cri...

When it comes to playing that role of comforter. today he had to bring up the puerto rico crisis and made it as if florida and texas werent taxing the budget but puerto rico was. >> and heres a question, does it cost him anything? it wont, does it cost him anything to have not been very effective in anything? does he get a pass because thats not what he does? and i guess with his voters, it doesnt make a difference but it is one more thing that keeps him from expanding his support to people who ...

Rico, but you have thrown our budget a little out of whack. because we spent a lot of money on puerto rico. and thats fine. we have saved a lot of lives. if you look at a real catastrophe like katrina, and you look at the tremendous hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that died, and you look at what happened here with really a storm that was just totally overbearing, nobody has ever seen anything like this, you can be very proud of all of our people working together, all of our people w...

Aside, some people have, if you look at the social media chatter, if you look at the predictable critics if you will, many people have lost their ability to set politics aside in a moment like this and just be americans listening to the president. to hear what the president has to say. to set everything else aside. thats the challenge for this president. because we do live in such a polarized climate that some people go into their boxes, even before we hear the words from our president. >> john ...

The gravity and magnitude of this, so much more in terms of loss of life. we do know the president was briefed by his advisors, his chief of staff earlier this morning. right now the president and his advisors are working on the speech he will give. any moment like this, it falls to the president to be a leader and a comforter, if you will. of course, president obama as lisa was just saying there, had speech after speech after speech after all of these tragic shootings. of course, this is the bi...

To go right there and was going to in effect say to sarah huckabee sanders is he going to have empathy in his heart or words when he goes out there to las vegas? >> well, you are right that hes not known for empathy. hes known for, you know, for mixing it up. this is obviously -- he will be tested tomorrow in puerto rico and again in las vegas on wednesday to sort of be the comforter in chief. he did that during the hurricanes in florida. put aside some of the fights hes been having to go down t...

Ongoing, but one that is clearly deeply emotional for this president and his staff, brian. >> so peter baker, an incredibly sad moment, say nothing of the city of las vegas trying to come back together again. but for all of us looking on, and it has come as they say, at an interesting time for donald trump and this white house following an unusual weekend. >> well, it really has. of course, it comes at the same time hes coping with the hurricane in puerto rico, his response, the federal governme...

Been briefing about every two hours since the tragedy unfolded here. we expect them an hour from now to brief yet again. oftentimes a good source of information. we stand by for that. were also waiting on the president. we expect to see him at the podium in about eight minutes, 10:30 eastern time. as we await that karl rove. an american tragedy yet again. its difficult to get your arms around it. there is no way to get your head or heart around it in the early stages now. what does the president...

And he identified him. we do not expect anything like that because the las vegas police have already made that information known here. but look for this to be a moment for this president, a moment of leadership for him to speak. as you said he was scheduled to speak about 11 minutes or so ago. im not sure what is holding him up. he has rearranged his schedule this morning to give this address. he was supposed to be in the east room of the white house at 11:00. that event is being held by the vic...

Joining me now, amherst visiting professor ray suarez and the author of "latino-americans, the 500 year history that reshaped a nation." i want to ask you about your relatives many puerto rico in a second, but the contrast of the president we just saw taking on the mantle of comforter of chief, compared to the man who took to twitter and being more vicious about the situation in puerto rico and the mayor of san juan. >> well, you know, thomas, if you live in an isolated community that can only b...
