connie schultz joins us now from ohio.e. >> thanks, rachel. >> so this was i felt like an act against cynicism for you and a big hearted statement to make. a lot of people i think greeted this with cynicism, assuming this is something they're going to say and never do, but you're essentially saying that this is something that might be possible now. >> you know where i first learned that as a columnist was when ohio seemed so radically against same-sex marriage and gay rights and over time incrementally i could see change, and you had to create the space for it, to allow for it. and i believe congressman turner. i saw him the day after the shootings. i saw how emotional he was about it. i don't doubt his good intentions. i know that there are people who say, well, wouldn't it have been nice sooner? yes, all kinds of things would be nice if they had come much sooner, but i will take them where we find them and whatever gets them here, welcome, because we need major action. and we don't show that support, if we just greet it

i'm joined by connie schultz, eugene robinson, columnist for "the washington post." n't know what you say about absurdity, but the president blames the press for being, what, i don't know. nobody channelling the press when they got their guns blazing. i think they're channelling the president. >> the only reason that donald trump is going after journalists yet again is it ramps up his the real zealots of his base. that's the only real reason he's saying that. they love it. they'll talk about it. go after us as usual, they go after us all the time. they see our badges. they love telling us we're the enemy of the people. he's talking directly to them. this is the way that donald trump directly talks to the people that he wants to disrespect in this instance to disrespect journalists, but in other instances to threaten the lives of immigrants. >> well, rick, the hard part for his defense is that he makes a point of saying they're invading us, invasion. it's not just we don't have a decent -- i don't think a very good immigration law that we enforce, but he blames them pe
