tv The Ingraham Angle FOX News December 11, 2017 11:00pm-12:00am PST
11:00 pm
be the destroy trump, fake news media. we will be fair and balanced.ak thanks for being with us. letot not your heart be troublen the news continues. laura is next. we'll see you tomorrow night. washington. this is "the ingraham angle." it's been a big news day here in the nation's capitol. and in new york city where an isis follower botched a terror attack, a pipe bomb strapped to his chest malfunctioned after detonation at the port authority subway station. surprise surprise, he got into america via -- wait for it -- chain migration. so isn't it time to ditch this dangerous policy finally? i'm going to ask univision anchor jorge ramos what he thinks of the debate of chain migration. and with accusations of part
11:01 pm
seasonship surrounding the mueller investigation. andy mccarthy will be here to explain how the mueller probe may be missing the most important russia story of all. but first, the media's desperate attempt to divert attention from their repeated screw-ups. that is the subject of today's angle. it wasn't just another fake news story attempting to tie president trump to russia. cnn's disgraceful reporting of last week seems like a watershed moment. a blatant example of the establishment media's reckless coverage of the so-called russia collusion story. on friday, you'll recall cnn reported that wikileaks tried to share hack documents with the trump campaign and don trump jr. in september of 2016. that report was quickly picked up by other news organizations. but it turned out, those documents had already been made public and the dates of the don
11:02 pm
jr. e-mails by cnn were false. the bomb shell quickly blew up in cnn's face. cnn never retracted the story, but took five hours to post a correction after it was debunked. on sunday, the host of cnn's reliable sources, brian stetler didn't explain how the story was wrong. instead, he trotted out carl bernstein and the perpetual trump critic, david fromm and said how cnn botched the story. they did revert to the cnn party line and they attacked the president. >> the sources weren't trying to trick the reporter. the sources were mistaken. that mistake obviously caused a black eye for cnn. >> journalists make mistakes.
11:03 pm
the story is pretty good, especially compared to the record of donald trump. >> from the president and his supporters, you hit here a system of lies. so they're not well-placed to complain. the worst mistakes that press organizations in the coverage of trump has precisely occurred in their effort to be fair to the president. >> wait a second. now cnn concocts a damaging story about the president and they only did so because they're trying to be utterly fair to him? i'm not following any of this. i need to buy a major vowel or two. the media are destroying their credibility by allowing politics to dominate editorial decisions and color their reporting. this is no way to build public confidence. by the way, it's not just cnn. abc's brian ross reported that candidate trump instructed michael flynn to reach out to
11:04 pm
the russians when it was actually president-elect trump. oops! "the washington post" reporter dave wiegle, let's not forget him. he tweeted from the trump rally showing lots of empty seats. didn't look good. turns out, he took the picture before the audience had actually entered the arena. cute. he did apologize later. not surprisingly, polls show the american public is losing faith in how the media are covering trump. a quinnipiac poll found 58% of american voters disapprove of the way the media covers the president and 38% approve. 53% of voters said the media focuses too much on negative stories about trump. so the media's answer today? more negative stories about trump. in an attempt to revive some slagging ratings and distract from their sex abuse scandals, the network dragged out trump a
11:05 pm
casers. the president denied the accusations. that didn't stop megyn kelly from showcasing them on her struggling morning show. so much for staying out of politics. didn't she say she was going to do that? they held a press conference held by a group called "brave new films." peel back the curtain, brave new films describes itself as a quick strike media company that has produced liberal documentaries. establishment media tripped over themselves to take the bait and turned today's white house press briefing into a total circus. >> i was going to ask -- >> you used it on something else. >> if i may, sarah -- >> i'm going to keep moving. >> if i can ask about the other jim's accusation. >> have you ever been sexually harassed and do you -- i'm not saying by the president. i'm saying ever. >> this is spinning and focused open him now. >> and he's addressed it to the american people. >> and more people are speaking out. >> i'm going to keep moving.
11:06 pm
i trying to cover as many of you as i can. >> this is a huge issue, sarah. >> laura: north korea. but this is a huge issue. a huge issue obsessed in driving trump from office at all costs. on the day before the alabama senate election, as we predicted last week when democrats ran al franken out of the senate, without so much as a scheduled hearing, senator kirsten gillibrand is calling for president trump to resign from office. this is a craven attempt to weaken the president with these choreographed allegation parades. they won't work. at least now it's easier to see with whom certain media organizations are colluding and to what end? that's the angle. one pulitzer prize winning journalist is sounding the alarge. he's painting a picture of what happens without a free and
11:07 pm
honest media. he wrote an intercept saiding the u.s. media suffered its most debacle in ages. with us to give us more insight is greenwald himself joining us from brazil. glenn, it's great to see you. recap for my audience what you wrote about over the weekend about why particularly this cnn issue is so disturbing given the enormity of the story regarding president trump and the russians. >> right. so you described exactly how the story fell apart. it is certainly the case that anyone in journalism, whether people at fox or anywhere else will get stories wrong sometimes. this is not just a block buster story that fell apart but what is most disturbing is two things. one a long line now of stories about trump and russia that major media outlets have trumpeted in a flannel boy --
11:08 pm
flamboyant way only to prove that trump did collude with russia and that russia is taking over the united states. it's not one mistakes it's a huge series of them always to the same outcome and same agenda. the second disturbing thing is the question of how it is that not just cnn but ultimately cbs and msnbc that said they confirmed the story got i wrong. they all claimed that multiple sources told them that this e-mail sent to don jr. was dated before the wikileaks publications became public. how did all sources get the same date wrong when talking to multiple media organizations? it's impossible to think about how that can be. >> laura: glenn, they refused to say over the weekend when they trotted out carl bernstein who has been dining out on watergate
11:09 pm
for 40 plus years, they won't entertain questions about that or go into that at all. if multiple sources -- i think the date was the -- missing one digit. the 4th or the 14th, something like that. given that case, how could multiple people read a number wrong or transmit it incorrectly? on its legal face seems far-fetched. >> right. seems like it's a deliberate attempt to mislead, in which they have the obligation to say which members of congress, probably democrats on the intelligence committee are the ones that gave them that false information. if it wasn't deliberate, they have the obligation to say how it happened. instead, they brought a cnn employees, carl bernstein and david fromm to pretend they were willing to talk about it. they didn't bring me on when i talk about fox news and the humiliations that have taken place this year, cnn immediately
11:10 pm
invites me on and fox doesn't. that's the reverse that happens when i write about cnn. fox loves to have me on and cnn won't. that is the issue. i don't want it implied this is a problem to cnn and nbc. fox has had their share of mistake also in the direction of its own political agenda. the problem is that meadia outlets are vulcanized. they don't have any transparency and that is what is ruining journalism. >> first of all, if i get something wrong, glenn, you have an open invitation to correct me. i'm not a perfect person. believe me. if i get something wrong, i'm happy to have you on and have a conversation with it. i'm not sure what you're talking about there. i want more people on my show. sometimes we have trouble getting people that are democrats on the show or liberals. i'm always welcoming more voices. i'm happy to have you on for that. it's not just cnn.
11:11 pm
we have "the new york times" coming out with stories that they have to correct. obviously cbs, "washington post" repeats the false stories that other networks are printing. sometimes what they say is there's a rush to get news out. it's just because of the speed of the internet. is that a plausible explanation here? >> no, i don't think so. what i said in my article, if people were making mistakes because they were rushing, you'd expect 50% to go in one direction and 50% to go in the other direction. what you're seeing here is the opposite. 100% of the mistakes that outlets like cnn and "the washington post" and msnbc make are designed to subvert donald trump and bolster the russia trump story like all of fox's mistakes are in the opposite direction. i don't mean you show, but the
11:12 pm
two that donald trump likes to watch, what is the morning show full of disinformation and the show that precedes yours. that's the problem in journalism. these mistakes stop looking like mistakes when they go in the same direction and bolstering the same political agenda. you're seeing that around most media outlets. >> laura: i have a question on something completely unrelated. because you really push for transparency in various reporting, especially when they involve criminal wrong doing or alleged wrongdoing, do you think that in cases like with al franken that women and men that make accusations should remain anonymous? you think that is fair? >> no it's terribly unfair. a couple months ago, there was a document that was circulating around the internet that purported to identify men in the
11:13 pm
media who had misbehaved with sexual misconduct and entirely anonymous. everyone in the media read it. people talked about it. it's so offensive as a lawyer, if you care about due process, a human being that cares about ethics and basic fairness to allow people accused the opportunity to defense themselves, which they can't do, if they're being smeared with anonymous attacks. >> laura: i think, glenn, there's a lot of accusations flying around from years ago, ten years ago, 20 years ago, 30 years ago and all i'm saying is people should have an ability to respond, and it's really hard to prove or disprove things that have happened many years ago. it's very difficult for men or women and i understand there's a lot of people hurt out there. at some point we have to have some due process before we destroy people's careers. glenn, thanks for your piece. now with reaction from new york. we're joint with ari fleischer, former press secretary and emily
11:14 pm
susman, a democratic strategist. emily, great to have you on. what is your sense about the errors that we've been talking about? we had the tweet that went out of the empty stadium. we have the brian ross report from abc. he's suspended. obviously cnn has had multiple errors. is this just all random mistakes or is there an agenda here? >> i think the media is trying to get it right. i also say i'm happy to be your democrat on here, laura. >> laura: thank you. love it. >> the media is trying to get it right. there is more to the speed. there's not even a 24 hour news cycle right now. every outlet wants to break the story. the trump and russia connection, every outlet wants to be the one that broke. there's enough that puts enough between collusion -- >> laura: really? >> we don't know if it's
11:15 pm
criminal or not. >> laura: and ari, you can speak to this on the russia issue. we know campaigns have had contacts with russians. hillary's campaign did. barack obama -- people are reaching out to russian counter parts. the question is whether it's collusion or an attempt to undermine the democratic process, which would be a big problem. that's what they haven't found so far. there's been a lot of mistakes. no one is perfect. we're not perfect here. we try to get it right. it does seem that mainstream media outlets, it's a russian to be the network that finally does trump in. not the network that gets the story but the one to put him in. >> for 20 years, the press has been on a sharp decline for the american people. it hit its low in 2016. gallup asked a question do you trust the media accurately. it had 32% in september 16. think about what that means. the core mission of journalism to tell the facts is being
11:16 pm
doubted by the american people astonishingly large numbers. yes, mistakes happens. but in the case of the wikileaks what donald trump jr. said, it's not credible. it's hard to believe how two independently completely different sources can make the same mistake to cnn and msnbc and cbs is not credible. you just have to explain it. walk through the reporting, how did it come to be so wrong, what did your sources said when you confronted them. we should learn those answers. >> speaking of this issue, sarah huckabee sanders at the white house briefing made a bold statement about what she thinks is the motivation here. let's watch. >> you cannot say -- >> that was completely fake and he admitted it. >> you cannot say it's an honest
11:17 pm
mistake when you're putting out information when you know is false or taking information that hasn't been validated or offered any credibility and continually been denied by people including people with direct nothing of an instance. >> laura: emily she's saying that they -- they're doing it on purpose. >> and i think that's dangerous actually. for the white house to be attacking the media and saying they're doing it on purpose is a big problem. >> laura: they've been doing that for a while. fake news. that's saying -- >> that's his whole career. that's what it was built on. the president came to notarity talking about how president obama, buying to the birtherism that he wasn't born in the united states. that's what he based his political career on. that's dangerous to be going after an independent media. right now we're in an era where the internet didn't open us up to more ideas, it narrowed it. >> laura: you think the media has any responsibility for this? donald trump isn't the most
11:18 pm
popular president right now. the public's viewpoint is declining, declining. so people trod out his numbers all the time. we can trod out the media's numbers. they believe something about the media having an agenda. let's get ari to address that. >> that's the core of the problem. people do think they have an agenda. face it, laura, the press can't stand donald trump. he doesn't like them either. but they can't stand him and it's interfering with their professionalism. they have let their disturbing like for donald trump affect how they accept the news. it's anti-trump. they let down their guard and put it on the air instead of checking it out. this embarrassment that cnn and cbs and msnbc and abc went through with brian ross could have been avoided if they had people inside that said slow down, let's check. i know we want it to be true but it might not be. they don't do that because they want to believe the anti-trump news. so the filters come down and it makes it on the air. >> laura: so how should congress deal with the chain migration
11:19 pm
11:20 pm
11:23 pm
an avid watcher of yunivision t see jorge ramos. great to have you here. >> thanks for having me. [speaking spanish] >> laura: my spanish is terrible. i'm not going to do it in spanish. i like to practice. >> i know we don't agree on almost anything but we have to have the conversation. i appreciate it. >> laura: you were very nice to me about my rnc speech, which you probably didn't agree anything in it and i mention that in my new book. but this is the only thing i'm going to say nice about you. >> i'm ready for you. >> laura: i'm just teasing. let's talk about what happened in new york.
11:24 pm
a botched terror attack. another individual came to the united states as part of what is called chain migration. he was over the age of 18. he joined his parents from bangladesh. if he was successful, he obviously would have killed a lot of people. he was carrying a pipe bomb. do you have any further hesitation about your support of chain migration policy? >> absolutely. i'm not here to defend any terrorist. he should face the full extend of the law. my kids live in new york city and new jersey. they could have been victims easily. i don't think this has anything to do with chain migration. it has to do with law enforcement and intelligence to prevent terrorism. but chain migration is really family reunicase. it's been in the law since 1995, it's code words saying i don't want immigration from latin america and from asia. >> laura: jorge, let me just --
11:25 pm
i see what you're saying. let's differentiate what he's talking about and what you're talking about. what the up donald trump is talking about is not to bar children under the age of 18 who are -- whose parents are here. that's not what he's talking about. they'll be allowed to come in and parents allowed to come in. adult children -- stay with me -- adult children of green hard holders and extended immigrants, which has ballooned the number of immigrants in the united states. 61% of all immigrants to come into the country are the result of chain migration. so we're not talking about minor children, spouses. we're talking about extended family members. so just so you understand. >> i do understand that. and do you like to be with your family? do you enjoy being with your family? >> laura: yeah. but i don't have a right to go to any other country and bring my family. it's not a universal right. >> it's something that you enjoy. i'm assuming you enjoy being with your family.
11:26 pm
immigrants enjoy -- >> laura: they can stay in their home country. >> it's unfair that when an immigrant, in this case commits a terrorist attack on a crime, that we blame all the 40 million immigrants -- >> laura: we're not blaming -- we're not doing that. jorge, we're talking about a policy. we're talking about a policy. we're not talking about blaming illegal immigrants here in the country. we're talking about a policy that makes sense or not. >> exactly. this policy has been in the books since 1965. >> right. there's a lot of policies that are disastrous. >> basically it was inspired by j.f.k. now the fact that -- that's the law. >> laura: okay. jorge, do you think second cousins -- >> i understand chain migration. you -- >> laura: where do you want to end it? first cousin, second cousin, twice removed? great aunt? the whole thing? you have a universal right to pick up your entire genealogical
11:27 pm
chart to another country? >> you don't have to end that. what president trump is saying he's wants to make america white again. he wants to -- >> laura: oh, my god. jorge! >> of course. >> laura: you don't believe that. you can't believe that. >> 90% of the population was right. it's a view of the united states -- >> laura: come on. chain migration -- jorge, honestly. >> sure. [speaking spanish] >> laura: the chain migration applies -- doesn't matter what color skin. doesn't matter if you're from europe, sweden, you want your second cousin or from mexico. the new policy will apply to everyone. let's go to kate steinle. you have not commented on the kate steinle verdict. i'm wondering your thought once you say the verdict that came down where mr. zarate was charged with a minor offense. he was here, deported five times, came back. we have a dead young woman.
11:28 pm
>> first of all, i'm really sorry. my condolences to kate's family. i'm a father. i can't imagine what it would mean to be without one of my kids. i really don't want to say anything that might affect them. when an immigrant gets involved in a crime, again, that doesn't mean that all of the undocumented immigrations are criminals like president trump is trying to portray them. these are the facts. immigrants are less likely to be behind bars -- >> laura: jorge, you're conflating any illegal -- >> we cannot do that -- >> laura: are you conflating in that statistic legal and illegal immigrants? you're putting them together? >> no.
11:29 pm
princeston university did a wonderful study -- let me finish with this one. it's important talking about undocumented immigrants. >> laura: 22% of all federal prisoners are illegal. 22% of all federal immigrants are -- federal criminals are illegal immigrants. that's justice department facts from august. >> but immigrants overall are less likely to be criminals. >> laura: who cares? that doesn't matter if it's true, they shouldn't be here. >> the fact is that the more immigrants that you have, the less crime you have -- let me give you another example. we know, of course, that undocumented immigration has thrown from 3.5 million in 1990 to about 11.2, 11.3 in 2013. according to the fbi, crime, violent crime decreased 48% in that same period. that means exactly that the more immigrants that you have in this country, the less crime you have. >> laura: i got that.
11:30 pm
okay. >> crime and terrorism -- >> laura: so you're fine with sanctuary cities, even if we have dead americans or dead latino immigrants, sanctuary cities should remain despite the fact that they perpetuate a situation where one, two, three, a dozen people could be gravely injured at the hands of an illegal immigrant? >> sanctuary cities are created to protect immigrants that otherwise won't be protected. >> laura: and also ones that commit violent crimes. that's the problem here. >> no, because -- >> laura: well, zarate was protected. >> crime decreases when police and communities and immigrants collaborate. that's what happens. why should we blame immigrants for all the crime and the -- >> laura: we're not blaming
11:31 pm
immigrants. we're blaming government policy that is terrible. mexico wouldn't want us to send people to mexico who some of them are terrible criminals. i'm sure that happens. mexico doesn't like that and i don't blame them. >> there's undocumented immigrants -- >> laura: you don't have a universal right to move to another country with your whole family or to go to another country and commit crimes. there's no universal right to do that. somehow we read that into our law. >> you're right. you know why they're here? because of you and me. they do the jobs we don't want to do and pay taxes and create jobs -- >> laura: i did a lot of those jobs, by the way. so did my parents and my brothers. okay. we're out of time. [speaking spanish] i'm getting better here. we're going to do it all in spanish next time. thanks. is the bob mueller investigation focused on the wrong thing? former u.s. attorney andy

11:37 pm
accord and says twit hurl u.s. business. i'm caroline shively. now back to "the ingraham angle." >> laura: just what is special counsel bob mueller investigating and why? our next guest argues the media is getting it wrong when it comes to the russia probe. joining us with more, andy mccarthy. andy, i love your columns, period. >> thanks, laura. >> laura: you're so good. i loved your most recent one where you raise the question of whether mueller has even proven or even has a sense, clear sense, that russia hacked into our system's prior to the election. explain. >> i want to be clear. i'm not questioning the findings of the intelligence community. i would stipulate that russia had a cyber espionage operation against the 2016 election. what we need to focus on is the
11:38 pm
fact that that is an intelligence judgment. it's a probability. their report even says the fact that we render a judgment doesn't mean that we can proven it as a matter of fact. the problem that we have with mueller's investigation, it's a prosecutorial exercise. that means you have to prove every essential element of the scheme, of the crime, beyond a reasonable doubt to the satisfaction unanimously of 12 jurors. so even if it's okay for the intelligence community, for the sake of protecting the country to assume that russia has these operations about our country, does not relieve mueller of the need to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. i don't think he can. the intelligence report says it would compromise methods of intelligence. we know the fbi never took custody of and did their own examination of the democratic
11:39 pm
national committee servers which are the key evidence in the case. >> laura: and you also point out in your piece that they based -- when rod rosenstein -- he basically panicked and called for a special counsel. he was freaking out that the democrats on capitol hill were asking questions. instead of answering questions, he panicked and appoints mueller. mueller is facing his investigation with rosenstein on the contacts with russia, which during a campaign, as you point out, that's not a big deal. most campaigns have some contacts with russia. it's the second question, which is the operative one. >> the clinton campaign and people in it had plenty of contacts with russia, right? the thing that would make contacts problematic or incriminating is if they indicated complicity in an actual espionage scheme. you never get there until you can prove the espionage in the
11:40 pm
first place. i don't think he can. >> andy, let's go to peter strozk, other people in the fbi and their ability to be truly objective and looking at this investigation. to my eye, we have a lot of individuals that are not just -- they're not just democrats, they are trump adversaries in their previous associations and in their texts or tweets or commentary during debates and so forth. you sort of have -- the jury is out for you on peter strozk. why? >> as i understand it and as comey testified to a closed session, according to the "wall street journal," as then fbi director comey testified to a closed session of the house intelligence committee in march, the reason they hadn't brought any case against flynn at that point is because the agents that interviewed him believed him and
11:41 pm
that was strozk. so the fact that flynn pleaded guilty to lying in that interview was not strozk's idea. evidently strozk was not pushing that. that was the very aggressive mueller investigators toward the end. so i just want to see the facts on him come in, laura. i think your general point about mueller's poor judgment enladdering this ridiculously inflated 17-lawyer team with democratic donors and activists is not only a big problem for the investigation, i think we're ultimately going to find that the real collusion story of the 2016 election was the way that the obama administration put the law enforcement and intelligence arms of the administration in the service of the clinton campaign and a lot of these mueller lawyers come from the top levels of the obama justice department. >> laura: yeah. running divisions or previously representing ben rhodes when he was testifying or being interviewed by the house intel
11:42 pm
committee, representing the clinton foundation. this is like a ven diagram that is scary for me personally. andy, great to have you on. by the way, new york city dodge a catastrophe this morning when a terrorist bungled his attack. could our current immigration laws lead to more attacks? monica crowley is hot on this monica crowley is hot on this stor we're on a mission to show drip coffee drinkers, it's time to wake up to keurig. wakey! wakey! rise and shine! oh my gosh! how are you? well watch this. i pop that in there.
11:43 pm
11:46 pm
been so much worse today. a terrorist tried to strike the subway system in manhattan during the morning commute. foiled only by a suicide vest that exploded early. authorities say if he succeeded, the damage could have been catastrophic. the suspect is a 27-year-old man from bangladesh who has lived in brooklyn the last seven years. how did he get here? the answer is chain migration. let's dive deep into this with monica crowley. she's all over this story. monica, once again, we're struck by chain migrants that come to the country, part of an extended family or adult children of illegal immigrant and don't assimilate and go on in this case almost to wreak real havoc. your take tonight. >> yes, i was gratified to see strong statements from the president of the united states and the attorney general. both addressing this issue of chain migration. donald trump, one of the most
11:47 pm
powerful reasons he was elected president is because he ran on the platform of reforming our immigration system, which has failed us miserably. case in point, once again today here in new york city. ending chain migration, stopping the diversity, lottery visa program, building the wall, enforcing our borders, ending sanctuary cities. the supreme court backed him up on the extreme vetting policy. all of these things will be put in place under donald trump so these kind of things, while they won't be eliminated because you can't control everybody, will certainly be mitigated. it's long passed time. >> laura: i had jorge ramos on earlier from univicious. i thought he tweaked his ideas on chain migration. but he says look, if we're really a pro family society, we should welcome families to come intact to the united states, be
11:48 pm
cohesi cohesive. support each other. who do you fell about that? >> u.s. immigration should no longer be about sentimentality or social justice or social engineering. the left has hijacked it for many years. you led the charge on this. the right has been complicit for a variety of reasons. donald trump ran on this platform of moving us away from that kind of approach on illegal immigration toward an approach where it should be based on national interests. serving the u.s. economy and serving our national security. that means stopping people like mr. ullah from coming here on a chain migration policy that serves none of those interests. >> laura: there's a recent poll that just came out that showed even amonday hispanic people living in the united states, you know, it's not like a great majority want more immigration into the united states. they want less or they want it to stay the same, which doesn't surprise me. monica, do you say, very quickly
11:49 pm
here, we will get an end to chain migration in this year or early next year? yes or no. >> yes, i think so. the senate majority leader told you the last week or so that -- >> laura: on our show. yeah, he supports it. >> they have the support in the congress to end this. >> laura: finally. >> might be part of a larger deal with the dreamer, but it has to end and the political will is there. >> laura: thanks, monica. when we come back, should the christian, the evangelical christians vote for a flawed candidate in the big
11:50 pm
can i give it to you straight? that airline credit card you have... it could be better. it's time to shake things up. with the capital one venture card, you get double miles on everything you buy, not just airline purchases. seriously, think of all the things you buy. great...is this why you asked me to coffee?
11:53 pm
>> laura: should a faithful christian vote for a flawed candidate? many had no problem voting for donald trump despite his admitting to a less than perfect past. but roy moore's candidacy has sparked a big evangelical debate. can they support him given the accusations? just as confusing, we have completely opposite results from two reputable polls on the eve of the special election in alabama. check it out. an emerson college poll shows roy moore has jumped out to a
11:54 pm
nine-point lead over democrat doug jones. but a fox news poll shows jones with a whopping 10-point advantage. this is part of a larger national debate about evangelical support for roy moore. pete waner served in three previous republican administration wrote an op-ed for "the new york times" title "why i can no longer call myself an evangelical republican." he wrote the following.
