cnn political analysts david drucker and karoun dep. this is not the way the president put it in his tweet. it is not about stepping out on your spouse or workplace conduct. this is about violence and abuse. you have contemporaneous legal action. you have a black eye. you have two women with coordinated stories with no reason to have concerted action. kellyanne said the right thing. why can't the white house get it straight what they knew, why they they did it. >> you have gotten conflicting responses, reactions, what have you. now er hearing what he told us publicly is not what he is thinking thinking privately. the question is ultimately one of management. should the white house have done something before this got to be a very public thing in the press that we all, the entire country, beyond the country, is seeing these pictures. they were warned several times they have been in office. shouldn't this have been something they took care of. i think the assumption for many people is, he yes, if they knew all of on this information. yet t

let's bring in cnn analyst david drucker and real politics a.b. stoddard.say nobody will come on, i'm talking about the gop. you will get democrats. they could do more to start the conversations. we'll ask that question. it starts with terms of tone from the top. the president was urged i by aides to say more about the shoot, and he declined. your read? >> well, the president has made it clear throughout the shootings that have taken place in his first year of office that he doesn't want to do anything beyond offer condolences whether in a tweet or on camera. he's not obviously unlike president obama who would come out and address these situations because he wanted to talk about mitigating the threat, wanted to talk about making changes. president trump doesn't center any plans to address these issues. he is not on his agenda. he is not pushing his own party, members of his party in congress to make changes. it is not a priority. so he is going to try to avoid talking about it. in his tweet, i would note he said no one should have to feel unsafe. or not fee

david drucker, mj lee and -- . >>> welcome to "inside politics." i'm john king.nk you for sharing your day with us. deadline day on capitol hill. as congress rushes to spend a new budget plan, democrats are asking what happened to the plan to shrink the deficit and balance the budget? plus, what did they know and when did they know it? top officials protected a top aide accused of beating his first and second wives. >>> no jokes this year. the president attends the national prayer breakfast and sticks to the script. >> all we have to do is open our eyes and look around us, and we can see god's hand in the courage of our fellow citizens. when americans are able to live by their convictions to speak openly about their faith and to teach their children what is
