Those have been white supremacist. we have a president thats not only failing to call out white supremacy, who in charlottesville tried to create a savagely false equivalency. but he, himself, is using the language of hate on a regular basis to talk about congresspeople, to condemn urban places, to talk about immigrants. and he is responsible in his language. and he is fueling and giving license to this kind of hate in our country. >> there is this theory, stochastic terrorism, the idea of a lea...

Tactic to go after president obamas legacy. he remains arguably the most popular figure in the democratic party. frankly he haus approve ratings that are higher than those of president trumps. so it reinforces joe bidens case that a lot of this election is about electability, returning to normalcy, and whether trump is an aberration or were going to give him a second term, and as he says, fundamentally reshape the course of this country, but when you look at the criticisms they levels against ob...

Him no favor when he drew a false equivalency between trump and elijah cummings. >> that wasnt a favor to a friend. by the way, people when they move to the burbs. >> why are they here? >> they love their cities. >> the urban culture is there. >> i think hes attacking diversity, not just blacks. attacking people who want to live in that kind of setting. in a "new york times" op-ed, princeton professor makes the case that president trump remains a greater danger to our political discourse than se...

At that was a pretty extreme thing to say. nobody in the media bit on it so he keeps peppering his speeches with things like this. until he personalize it and went too far as he always does. then people start talking about and is able to go back to the original point that he wanted to be making. howard: heres a new york times story. america stinks is the beginning. at least thats what donald trump seems to be saying before coming president.he talks about how he called the country a laughingstock...

The other side. you dont call it out the same way. >> always pointing out things. i cant deal with that. its ridiculous. >> heres the thing, sometimes its true in politics. >> hold on. you can always point to something else. go on, sorry. >> yes, you always can point to something else. but as you like to say, there is also a point of false equivalency. this is not but that raised taxes, too. or obama deported people also. you know what i mean? thats not what this is. there is only one answer -- ...

Political narrative, that was using race in a different way and that was equally offensive. the professor is right, using race is a bad thing when youre trying to hurt someone else and gain politically, but it works both ways. >> but heres this, this false equivalency. a feather is not an anvil. theres no doubt its offensive what happened with elizabeth warren, but that compares to the cons assistant re theme that is reoccurring in republican right wing circles. youre right that on both sides th...

Self-surrender why dont you change it and garner some type of collective cogent agreement on the hill rather than loving your livestreaming and not knowing what you are talking about and making inflammatory false equivalency that are horrendously offensive? >> juan: by the way, jesse. emily makes a good point. i saw in the polls 70 plus americans think the dreamers should be allowed to say. 60% say the way we can deal with the border is to have more border agents. more judges. what do you think?...

Authorities and the fbi and still saying very far away from criticizing specifically when president trump said and notably we have seen many republicans across the board as you mentioned make that very quick pivot to try to refocus and redirect attention to this false equivalency back to democrats and the christopher steele dossier. just moments ago we also heard from two top republicans here on capitol hill disputing even what president trump said. >> doesnt the president have to set a tone abo...

Is not opposition rest the president would like to say that its opposition research because he wants to put a legitimate framing around what the russian disease to help him in 2016, and i believe hes also trying to welcome that -- that help again in 2020. had he needed it then. he needs it now even more, but that is as false equivalency. what the russians did in 2016 to help him was not opposition research. >> i want to -- and i want to talk -- this idea of sort of floating this idea, i wonder i...
