In this country between law enforcement, between white citizens and black citizens. i think that its a dangerous game that hes playing just for his political game. >> joy reid and cedric richmond of louisiana, thank you for being with me. >> thanks for having us, chris. >> im joined by cbs evening news former anchor dan rather, the author of "what unites us, reflections of patriotism." ill start with where the congressman and joy left off about the tone set from the top and a kind of perception ...

Hillary clinton, espn. the "new york times," the "wall street journal." they could have made this story go away. why wont they admit the tone it set from the top. remember what sarah sanders said friday. >> what does the white house believe about senator mccain and is there a tone set from the top where it has allowed for an aide to say he is dying anyway. >> certainly there is not a tone set here. we have a respect for all americans. >> why not just apologize. >> i am not going to get into a ba...

That vicious so-called joke at the expense of a true american hero, john mccain. he was shot down and spent 5 1/2 years being tortured in a north vietnamese prison camp. who served in congress since 1982. who ran for president in 2008. and who is battling brain cancer right now. its hard to imagine that anyone, much less a white house aide, would joke that john mccain is -- these are her words -- dieing anyway. thats exactly what kelly sadler said. anybody with just an ounce of decency would apo...
