Donald trump is the one that is unpatriotic, not these nfl players, not anybody taking the hit. it has nothing to do with the flag or the anthem. they are taking a knee was of injustice, the same injustice that happened to heather heyer a year ago. a white woman killed during the march to montgomery simply driving people to and from the march. i met her family and know her family. she lost her life standing up for whats right. heather heyer was doing the same thing. its a shame she should be wro...

Every day that donald trump dismiss it and creates this false equivalency, both sides do it, it continues to set us back. he is a danger. and i dont expect anything. but you said hes a small man. hes small minded. and he has nothing in common with the integrity of these nfl players other than that helmet of a hairdo he wears on his head. >> as they say in court, ta-da. >> the contradictions are -- this is one of law and order. law and order. lets villafy immigrants because of law and order. lets...

Possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides. on many sides. >> what was it about that "many sides" comment thattin fury ated so many americans. >> the president created a false equivalency. you had one group who was obviously demonstrating and expressing their racial hatred toward several communities in this country and you had another group who simply said that level of racial hatred is not acceptable. and so there was no -- there was not many sides. ther...

Something, rejects it. never get to the issue. i would recommend that people judge other people based on their behavior. when you see an individual, speaking or creating a policy, based on race, creed, sexual orientation, check off the boxes thats by definition racist behavior. so ive dont think there is any question that the president, since the moment he began running for office when he said all mexicans are rapists, talking about muslims being evil and terrorists, or, the fact that, this fals...

Moments of his presidency, the false equivalency the president made about violence on both sides of charlottesville. >> does that make your job harder president says things at least in those communities, are viewed as, he has our back? >> we have to work with everyone to help communities understand what are the warning signs that we can prepare. and no matter who it is. i think what is important about that conversation is, it is not that one side is wright or wrong. anybody advocating violence, ...

I think that i was outraged because i think that in all my years of having a tremendous respect for the institution of the presidency and its role around our globe, id never seen a more pathetic and weak display of american leadership as a president. and its not explainable. its not defensible. and its something we should view, i think, with outrage and ask serious questions as to why our president would somehow cast doubt or create some equivalency between vladimir putins denial and the very su...

From the #trust black women to shushing maxine waters. thats disappointing. when nancy pelosi and chuck schumer came out with their statements. i shuddered. you clearly did not consult any senior black woman on your staff about this statement and how disappointing is that. also, i think when you look at the rhetoric coming from the right and to your point about how the media is all too happy to fall into this trap of making this false equivalency, where was this outrage when you had joe wilson y...

In 2016 the obama administration added extra restrictions for travelers from libya, somalia and now this trump travel ban is much more severe. but it does beg the question, it does prompt the question, arent there legitimate national security questions about travelers from these countries? >> you know, let me tell you. i regard that as a trump talking point. because the truth is that the president obama never said well ban people based on religion and it was rooted in factors that had to do with...

Like to wish away trump here, but we cant and he is the president and this is his measure and hell continue to be the president for at least the foreseeable future. >> youve been decrying president trumps bigotry and you used to follow somebody who continually expressed sexist anti-lgbtq, lewis farrah khan -- >> i would disagree with that. >> what do you disagree with -- >> that comes up in this context. >> and you are declaring victory -- and he is a pretty clear bigot. >> right. and i agree th...

>> dave, trump didnt make human rights violations a big part of what they discussed in singapore, right? you dont try to accomplish everything at once. thats your own argument. >> it just -- buddy, it just started. it just started. >> i totally get it. but if president obama had gone there, and im not a big false equivalency guy, but sometimes theres no other way to advance the hypocrisy. i mentioned otto warmbier, i said i didnt die in vain, we talked about some things. and there was nothing on...
