Why some conservatives tell President Trumps season of betrayal on the white house faceoff with espn, their socalled culture war. But first the Breaking News from st. Louis. This is the scene right there we want to show you tonight. Several hundred protesters are in the streets. They are protesting breaking
news, an acquittal of a former st. Louis Police Officer who was on trial for murder for g kiting a black man after a car chase. Now, today, judge Timothy Wilson found that former st. Louis Police O
sort of stopgap measure to say he s not going to run for re-election, that that might suffice, but he s wrong, and the reason that he s wrong is because he can t possibly be effective anymore. there comes a time when you re in power when you need to acknowledge that for the benefit of the people that you represent, you need to step aside. and i do not see how he can be effective at all as the governor and so i hope that he ll do the right thing. we have seen other circumstances where a leader will say something like this. i m just not going to run for re-election. then in sohort order they realie the circumstances actually require that astep aside. that s what i hope he s going to realize in the days to come. i want to turn to the president s racist attacks against four u.s. congresswomen. his top adviser, stephen miller, saying today the president s tweets weren t racist. here s his argument. i think the term, racist, chris, has become a label that is too often deployed by the lef

[ overlapping speakers ] heather: antoine, hold on one moment. let s listen to what president trump had to say in terms of the vote that happened in the house. you said all the republicans agreed this was in fact racist. i didn t say that. i said it was bipartisan. heather: it was foreigns voted in favor of the resolution four republicans voted in favor of the resolution.
you know, tara, even thoedode doubled down. as a conservative, a woman of color, what was your reaction wo when you heard the president s racist attacks? it s infuriating. i just shake my head and i say i cannot believe how many americans were willing to put aside what an awful human being donald trump is in order to vote for him to get a tax cut or get a supreme court justice or, you know, the pro-life issue. we had respectable republicans who were running that weren t racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, bigots and this is who they put in the oval office. this is who they continue to defend. you know, donald trump is who he is. i m over getting upset with him because he s already shown us who he is. i am the most upset with the enablers because they re the ones that have continued to rationalize, to defend, to take a posture like we re all crazy for calling out donald trump for
