President s words not as a rebuke but as a rallying cry, as a call to action, end quote. For his part, the president s response to a thwarted plot against a governor was to say that she didnt think him. Rather than say thank you, she calls me a white supremacist. Just 24 days before what has been called the most consequential lesks o consequential election of our lifetimes. Last night the debate was canceled after trump refused to participate virtually haes e le less than a week he was released from the hospital from an Infectious Disease that has killed 215,000 americans. His remembering ls personal conduct after his diagnosis and the effect its having on our country is uncons national naesh unco ununconscionable. Hes likely still shedding the virus, according to experts who will still speak later trump will now speak later from the white house balcony after being told that he couldnt return to the campaign trail until monday. But is he planning a rally in Central Florida on monday. We still dont know exactly when he contracted the covid19 virus or the last time he was tested the though he participated in a made for tv interview last night with a doctor on fox news, a doctor whose questionable credentials include having downplayed the pandemic predicting it would be no worse than the flup having the flu. Short said he had been tested and was getting the results back sometime later today. Have you been tested recently. Yeah, i just saw the doctors today. They think im in great shape. Im in great shape. I know time in good shape. Did you test negative . I tell you, i took this regeneron, its phenomenal. Have you had a test since your diagnosis a week ago . Well, what were doing is is probably the test will be tomorrow, the actual test. Theres no reason to test all the time. No reason to test all the time. Theres actually a reason to test to see whether youve got the ant bopds, antibodies. So now the quite contagious commander and chief is hosting events at the white house where the whole thing likely the good started. The rose garden event for Amy Coney Barrett that featured a whos who of republican power plays, folks without masks chastin chatting, hugging. Heres how dr. Anthony fauci described it. I think it speaks for itself. We had a super spreader in the white house, and it was in a situation where people were crowded together, were not wearing masks. So, the data speaks for themselves. Its not just fauci speaking truth to power, hes Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell on the state of affairs at the white house. I havent been in the white house since august the 6th, and i personally didnt feel that they were approaching the protection from this illness in the same way that i thought was appropriate for the senate. Just to underscore, that was the republican Senate Majority leader who never has any space between him and trump saying that he wont go to the white house because of how irresponsible the president has been about covid precautions. But trump is looking in the most inappropriate places for someone else to blame, alluding that the white house spread might have been caused by a gold star family event where the says the families of fallen military members got up close and personal with him. That did not sit well with veterans that labeled trumps suggestion as disgusting. Alan pits said as if gold star families dont have enough guilt in their life, the commander and chief sagd to their burden. But its just the latest of trump abdicating his responsibilities and shifting the blame to others. Its extremely and is embarrassing. According to event organizers, family members were tested at the event and tested negative for coronavirus and all have felt fine since. Finally, from trumps ramblings earlier in the week, Steve Mnuchin is aufrpg a noffering u round of Economic Relief for the coronavirus. Hes doing that with nancy pelosi. So the negotiations continue despite the president insisting earlier in the week that there would be no deal until after the election. Joining me now, democratic representative Debbie Dingell of michigan, shes a senior whip for democrats in the house. Shes either the cochair or vice chair of 16 caucuses and many more. Shes been the target of the president s personal attacks in the past. Good to see you. Im excited to coming to your state in just a few hours. But i want to start with one whats going on in your state. You are someone whos been at the receiving end quite recently, actually, of Donald Trumps wrath. This is a serious matter that i think americans expect the president of the United States should be taking more seriously than he seems to be. The targeting potential abduction and murder of a governor. You know, ali, i was not surprised when the story broke on thursday, unfortunately. And that should bother people too. Because i have been the target, the subject, as you say, and the result of what happens when hate and things that follow those kinds of attacks. I do wish the president would be more careful in his words. I dont think that he understands how his words have tremendous consequence of impacting people. I also am going to tell you i think all of us need to take a deep breath and how is he able to continually do this and people arent outraged . It is politically acceptable. And he keeps doing it because there hasnt been enough negative response to him so that he understands that this is hurting him. Its hurting all of us. I am i respect him, you saw my governor, she is out there, she is a strzok aong and determ she is not going to let this impact her. I have tried very hard do the same becoming the target of him in some public ways. But i want everybody to open their heart and really think about whats happening in this country and that you are letting your heart argue and nobody can let that happen. We all need to take some responsibility for whats happening in this country. Congresswoman, in about six hours im going to be talking to voters in dearborn and im going to want to hear from them how they feel about this. When you look at the last ten days for the president , his remarkably bad debate performance did hurt him in the polls more than any other modern president. His covid handling only underscored that twothirds of americans think hes doing a worse job of handling coronavirus than joe biden would. And then theres this, because did he tell the proud boys to zand ba stand back and stand by, which sounded not like a dog whistle but a clarion for right wing militias. And now this has happened. What do you expect will happen . Do you believe that americans will say now weve crossed from the sublime into the ridiculous and dangerous . So, if you had asked me two weeks ago i was concerned. I was getting some of the those same feelings that i had of 2 216. The president s behavior is so irresponsible, and people trust him. Theyre his leader. And when he first of all, that drive where he put everybody as risk. But when he whipped that mask off, hes killing thousands of people because they follow him. They dont wear their mask and not doing what they need to do. 210, 211,000, the number grows every day, americans have died. Think people are listening to this, but think people like you and i and others have to be very careful, because i was down river last night and got earful from people who think were beating up on the president and, this is more people who need to take responsibility. There are still strong trump voters through the and many of the ones i warned about four years ago. And while the majority of our country want to get rid of this drama, they want to get back to normal, weve got to be very careful to make sure that we are all taking responsibility for whats going to happen on this election. And im going to tell you, its 25 days to this election and i am somebody who knows the only thing i know about 2020 is that the unpredictable is whats predictable. Yeah, no kidding. Congresswoman Debbie Dingell, good to see you. Looking forward to be in your home state. Youre going to be in my hometown in a few hours . I am. I enjoy it. As a canadian its kind of like going home. At least ill be able to see home from there. Ill be in detroit tomorrow for velshi across america. Ill speak with a group of voters about their priorities next month and with top lawmakers in the state including senator gary peters, lieutenantgovernor Garlin Gilchrist and dana nestle. This afternoon i will be spending time with michigan voters. Meanwhile, with 24 days go until election day, most surveys show trump losing big to joe biden. The average of recent polls shows the democratic nominee at 52 and trump down double figts 41. 4 . With election day fast approaching, President Trump is losing his you know what behind the scenes. They right that the president is lashing out at members of his own cabinet as he grasps at straws looking to implicate his political rivals in wrongdoing. We have the president of the Lincoln Projects lincoln coalition. Good to see you. Thank you for being with us. What do you make i think its interesting what Debbie Dingell just said to me, we have to be careful and take necessary responsibility, necessary responsibility involves voting. But what do you make of what has happened . Im kind of concerned. Is President Trump acting out because hes on dexamethasone, a serious steroid . Or is he cornered and desperate . I genuinely believe the president is incapacitated. And im not a medical professional, but anybody with a work brain can see that this is abnormal the way in which hes acting is completely unhinged. We know that the white house is in total collapse. We can prove it. Theres evidence of this. The president is not acting like a normal, rational human being. A normal, rational human being would not have walked into a debate hall knowing they potentially had covid19. And the days that followed, the way hes come home early and took a joyride to wave at people, thats not going to play well. You see a president thats incapable of controlling himself and the country, and he will be voted out and escorted out of the white house in january. But we cannot be complacent, so we have to do our part. You and others in Lincoln Project and republican women for biden, you are republicans, you are conservatives and i think in a Perfect World things would be normal and there would be a normal Democratic Party and normal Republican Party and a voter might be able to watch two candidates and say kind of like this one or i might like this one. You tweeted the other day, ive been told my whole life to look at the president in times of crisis, now the president is the crisis. What injury argument to remaining Republican Voters . Somewhere between the 25 and 40 who want lower taxes and smaller government, republican principles. Whats your argument to them about youre going to get them better if you get rid of this guy and then become a real Republican Party again . The first thing i say is, look at the stats. We already have an electorate that is not engaged. And those of us that do care and do vote and have in the past, while we look at that whole thing and we say, what is another four years going to be like . Especially Young Mothers like me, i have a 2 and 4yearold. Theres no end in sight. Every day say challenge balancing work and Young Children and any children that have to do Virtual Learning that cannot see their friends, that cannot understand why our new normal doesnt mean they can go to a play place or birthday parties anymore. What i say to those republicans voters, especially women ive been having phone conversations with over many months and gone back and seen in my home state of west virginia, i sit with them and i hear them. I say, you tell me what does he mean to you . What does this president mean to you . Because to me i think conservatism could have survived four years of hillary clinton. What i see right now illogical. It doesnt make sense. Because we teach our children not to call names, to not do the things, the very things that this president does. And so how do we get more americans to the table when this is the person at the top whos ali ail nating so many. And i hear them say the democrats are the boogeyman. They will tax us to death. Theyll make us liberal like california and look how thats worked out. I say you dont know what this president is doing and i present them with facts. Thats why im so proud to be part of the Lincoln Project, lincoln coalition, we dropped seven just three days ago and my favorite one just day before yesterday called regeneron. These are visual depictions of exactly the facts we need to present these voters with as to what is problematic about this president. Why its just not us look, im a lifelong conservative. Im not an alarmist. But i showed them some of these ads, and they say, yeah, you know, you make a good point. But im worried about biden, i dont think he has the best interests for our country because hes a professional politician. So they like what theyre getting from trump. They like this sort of unusual, different brand. But what they dont realize is its put the lives of many black and brown people like myself and my children in danger when we go into the streets and we know we cannot guarantee our safety. We cannot. These are the words of a republican, thank you, my friend. Good to see you begin. Rinna is the founder of republican women for biden. Shes on the Leadership Team of n this as a discussion, a real discussion, not a maniac versus someone else running for president. Thanks, rinna.

Mike pence is the 48th Vice President of the United States. The Second Highest Office in the executive branch. As Vice President , hes also an officer in the legislative branch of the u. S. Government serving as the president of the senate in which he has the authority to cast the tiebreaking vote. Hes should be, hes a key adviser to the president and, at times, stands in for him representing our entire nation. Which is what made his feckless response to a simple but important question during this weeks vicepresident ial debate with senator Kamala Harris so amazing. Just before the debate ended, the moderator reminded pence that President Trump has several times refused to commit himself to a peaceful transfer of power after the election. She asked that if joe biden won the election and trump refuses to accept a peaceful transfer of power, what would pences role and responsibility be as Vice President . What would he, mike pens e pece . In his 2 14 second response, he talked about the energy, the economy, law enforcement, hillary clinton, spying, the mueller report, trumps impeachment, mailin voting and the fbi. The only thing he didnt mention was what he, Vice President mike pence would do if trump refused to accept the results of the election in a peaceful transfer of power. Mike pence is isnt about to tell trump tell trump what he wants to here. He said i promise you when the circumstances arise where i have a difference on policy or presentation, i would have no hesitation were i privileged to be Vice President to walk into the president s office, close the door and share my heart, end quote. Whats in your heart, mike pence, about the basic tenant of democracy, a peaceful transfer of power and the departure from office at the end of your term . Its a simple question but one on which the success of a democracy hinges. What door is pence leaving open and why . What political advantage is gained by not committing to accepting the results of an election . Its a hypothetical question, but as hypothetical questions go, its a really easy one. Its relevant because mike pences boss donald trump made it relevant. And to be clear, when joe biden was asked in the president ial debate if he would accept the results of the election, he said, yes. Its democracy 101.
