stepping up, taking responsibility saying this is not how you treat your customers. because you support donald trump you should not be denied service. it s ridiculous, absurd. and to face that kind of tirade. by the way, he gave the guy a chance to recover. just sell me the vape product or whatever it was and i ll just go away. strawberry vape for my wife. yeah. so yeah it was crazy. we had to play it. there s a reason why people worry whether they should wear a maga hat around. i tell me kids don t wear it at the airport. if you re prepared to defend yourself, you should wear it. we have to live in a world that you don t get shamed to have a political statement. that s fair as a mother. but as regular citizens shouldn t cower from that. meanwhile, he killed officer daniel faulkner more than 30 years ago but now he could get a
anybody s choice. what matters is what the president thinks. now, i know what mr. whitaker has said, but i also know that in washington, d.c., people talk a lot. i ve noticed that. they like to talk. up to wat you have to watch t wha they do. you have faith that he won t follow through on that, he won t be a back channel to the mueller investigation, the president won t end it even though he s gotten rid of sessions. you just have faith. i have seen no indication whatsoever. i have only seen speculation that mr. whitaker might do something. i haven t seen any allegations that he s done something, and given the fact that he is the choice of the duly elected president of the united states, i think we ought to give the guy a chance and let him find the men s room before we start bashing him. it s not like the president appointed, i don t know, michael avenatti or justin bieber. i mean, the but by your logic, it is the same because he has the right to put whomever he wants to be,

it s unclear. if you don t have a heavy hitter at the top of the ticket, you have to get people energizend get them out to vote, and it s unclear whether trump will be able to do that. he needs more than his base to win 2018. he needs people as my colleague, josh called them, trump-curious. people who are like trump-curious. trump-curious. people who are like, i m going to give this guy a chance, i m going to give his party a chance, his policies, his politics. and you know, the republican party has gotten a little messy. you have the bannonites, you have the more old guard, mitch mcconnell type republicans. there s going to be infighting between them, and you don t know if you can necessarily trust trump s judgment on which candidate to pick, on which side to go down. he ll go down either way, but it seems like the bannonites get to whisper in trump s ear, and it seems like they hold sway over a president. and the more they do that, the more you turn off the trump curious, the
