158. >> shannon: on october 22nd, donald trump made a statement as follows: wacky congresswoman wilson is a gift that keeps on giving. a disaster for democrats, contempt on an african-american african-american -- he called her wacky. >> this whole thing is wacky. the impeachment vote today was a needless distraction and frankly its a gift to republicans because republicans are trying to get things done. we just passed tax reform and democrats are over here, 58 of them, supporting impeaching the ...
