let's discuss this with marsha catron. great to have you with us. "the washington post" report implies that the president was not being somewhat truthful when he denied on wednesday knowing how the map was altered. watch this. >> that map you showed today with a sharpie. >> i don't know. i don't know. i don't know. >> so what do you make of all this? it's easy to brush this aside and call it sharpie gate, but this specific moment where the president came out and said he didn't know how that map was altered while you're now having an official tell "the washington post" albeit an unnamed official say it was the president personally who took the sharpie to that map. >> this is no laughing matter. we need to be able to believe our president especially in times of a national emergency. and that's what this is. folks need to be able to turn to their government for the right answers and the right help to keep them safe. unfortunately, it seems like the president was more interested in making sure he was viewed as being correct rather than helping to save l
