the president, when it came to that terror attack. >> the president also took some heat today for tweeting out a reference to an alleged historical or piece of american history that is not actually true, right? >> that's right. he was tweeting about something that he used to talk about on the campaign trail. he was talking about general john pershing. we can show you this tweet. "study what general pershing of the united states did to terrorists when caught. there was no more radical islamic terror for 35 years." just a quick history lesson for folks, anderson. this was during the philippine american war during the turn of the 20th century. legend has it, and president trump has talked about this. he talked about it on the campaign that pershing would dip bullets in pigs blood before shooting muslim prisoners. that has been totally debunked.
