Point to the media, we can point to studies at treasury that disappear because they show trickle-down economics don t work, on and on and on. the only difference at this point is just the lines that they re will to cross just keep getting further depending on what is necessary at that moment. vanita, i think that s the concern i have here is that it does feel like sometimes we re hurtling toward a constitutional crisis moment. all that holds this together, and the rule of law sort of managing to win out in the end are a bunch of institutional norms that kind of hold it together. do you worry as someone who worked in that building that we re seeing those being degraded? i worry as a resident of the united states who believes in our constitution that these institutions are being degraded. look, i think all of these actions, the attack on the press when he when the president doesn t like what the press is ....
See as a threat to them electorally is completely modus operandi for the republican party. we can point to science, we can point to the media, we can point to studies at treasury that disappear because they show trickle-down economics don t work, on and on and on. the only difference at this point is just the lines that they re will to cross just keep getting further depending on what is necessary at that moment. vanita, i think that s the concern i have here is that it does feel like sometimes we re hurtling toward a constitutional crisis moment. all that holds this together, and the rule of law sort of managing to win out in the end are a bunch of institutional norms that kind of hold it together. do you worry as someone who worked in that building that we re seeing those being degraded? i worry as a resident of the united states who believes in our constitution that these ....
Days. frankly, the statement from the white house spokesperson, for those of us who are deeply pained by the fact that his administration, his rhetoric that he has garnered support from white supremacists and that he was unable to very strongly and clearly criticize those white supremacists that were marching in his name on saturday. i don t you know, i worry. he has lost the moral ability to make those statements today even and to have those be credible for so many of us. we will wait to see what the president says if, in fact, he addresses this directly. vanita, thank you for being with us. thank you. appreciate your time. thank you. charlottesville, a community that is reeling this morning. so many people remembering heather heyer, the woman killed there. now one of her close friends is speaking to cnn about the ....
