Everybody. michelle democrats, are they making this political? >> of course they are, theyre politicizing this tragedy. when someone has a car accident and theyre driving too quickly and they kill someone, we dont say, oh we need to fix the bridges, the roads in this country. we say, why were you going so fast. it appears as though this tragedy was caused by human error. wasnt caused by evil republicans on capitol hill. we give $1 billion a year to amtrak. republicans, theres nothing they could ...
