this is the same lindsey graham who repeatedly disavowed trump both before he was elected, and after the january 6th insurrection. >> he's our race baiting, xenophobic, religious, spigot. if donald trump cares -- it taints conservatives for generations to come. >> donald trump's the most electable republican i've seen in my lifetime. all i can say, is count me out, enough is enough. >> lindsay, all i'm saying is, a blink twice if you need help, senator. we're here for you, sir. let's bring back my panel, katie hill and basil smikle. congresswoman, i'll start with the. are your reaction to -- ex president, that i honestly don't know one of the world that's about? >> your face describes it pretty well. i remember watching very clearly on january six. i was, finally, this is the
desantis, who was essentially pushing his -- left is not open the door for anybody else just yet. we're trying to figure out how to get from under the other guy, as opposed to having to deal with somebody new. it's probably a bit of level setting for them, for the moment. but the reality is, i don't think that has any impact. on positive results on the ground in these elections, or even in congress. >> congresswoman, we saw a glimmer of hope if you well. and going back to donald trump here for a moment, yet former transportation secretary elaine chao, calling out several racist remarks he's aimed at her directly as well as his other anti asian rhetoric. saying quote, when i was gag some people deliberately misspelled are mispronounced by name. it asian americans have worked hard to change that experience for the next generation. he doesn't seem to understand. with says a whole lot more about him than it will ever say about asian americans. charles issued the statement in
with somebody new. it's probably a bit of level setting for them, for the moment. but the reality is, i don't think that has any impact. on positive results on the ground in these elections, or even in congress. >> congresswoman, we saw a glimmer of hope if you well. and going back to donald trump here for a moment, you had the former transportation secretary elaine chao, calling out several racist remarks he's aimed at her directly as well as his other anti asian rhetoric. saying, quote, when i was gag some people deliberately misspelled or mispronounced by name. it asian americans have worked hard to change that experience for the next generation. he doesn't seem to understand. that says a whole lot more about him than it will ever say about asian americans. chao issued the statement in the wake of the tragic high-profile shooting that targeted asian americans. is this song within the gop, try -- nasty rhetoric, will we see a
going after gangs, armed robberies, homicides. and your pulling over 20 nine-year-old skateboarders and photographers at traffic lights and beating the -- no, i don't think anybody would say that that's where our tax dollars should be going. it's not an elite police force there. katie, the new york times reports the officers shouted 71 command during the 13 minute period before they reported over the radio that tyre was in custody. after reviewing the body cam footage that was released on friday. and some of their commands were impossible for me tyre to follow. ask him to show his hands, even though they were holding his hands. and there were several others. they had him on the ground, telling him to get down on the. ground these are long-standing issues in policing. can this be reformed? is it something that you teach, or is it something that you prevent by getting better qualified police who know what the heck they're doing? >> it's both. recruitment is a real challenge right now.
these are things the american people cannot afford to have happen. >> let me ask about messaging from other for the last six months republicans have been just hammering on the economy, that's, they ran on that, inflation, gas prices, what have you. we're now seeing the number show that we're making progress on inflation, gas prices are down, the economy is growing as i said earlier. what does that mean for the gop argument, and more importantly, how do you as a democratic congresswoman, respond to that and broadly speaking do democrats respond to that for the next couple months? >> did they run that plan, i thought they ran on the planet fearmongering. the reality, as gdp has not declined, a recession is not inevitable. and republicans have been engaged in fearmongering as a way to distract from the fact, that they are the ones that are trying to make it harder for americans to make it to survive to put money in the pocket
war. and his own brand of draining the swamp, which would include graham. and i think it's a calculation to say, i know what side, i know what side of the bread -- you understand the metaphor i'm trying to make. >> we got you. >> the point is, i do think lindsey graham, to me, he is representative of the rest the republican party, we are unwilling to take a stand and quite frankly, i think it enables the kind of racism, culture wars that we're seeing right now. >> katie, this week, ronna mcdaniel, there was an interesting development, ronna mcdaniel was elected to serve as a fourth term, in her fourth term as chair the republican national committee. despite the bad performance they had in the midterms. her bid got contentious. we have high-profile republicans like florida governor ron desantis endorsing her opponent.
this really, really devastating tragedy unfold. i think katie's right. when we think about accountability we need to think about it in both terms. not just asking for dallas just after the tragedy occurs, but thinking about at the beginning. how are these police officers recruited. what education did they have. how are they trained, are we dealing with not only the culture of police departments in the 18,000 lot forsman agencies in this country. are we also dealing with qualified -- that sort of shield, that umbrella that encourages and incentivizes in some ways this behavior. so, we need to have a much more comprehensive look at how we address law enforcement across this country. it's at the end and beginning of policing in this country. >> we need to see where the money is going. why are we funding elite units like this type of scorpion unit, that's going out there to stop traffic violations. if you're telling me need to
