firing back at lindsay graham on twitter. after the south carolina senator accused of president of equating white supremacists with those who were in charlottesville to protesting him. publicity seeking lindsay graham falsely stated that i said there is a moral equivalency between the kkk, neo-nazi's, and white supremacists and people like miss heyer, such a disgusting lie. he just can't forget his election trouncing. the people of south carolina will remember. and the president tweeting this after graham issued this statement. president trump took a step backward by again suggesting that there is moral equivalency between the white supremacists, neo-nazi, and kkk members and people like heyer. let's begin our political panel. i think you both for joining us. kristin, i'll start with you, is that a fair assessment from lindsay graham? >> i think lindsay graham is not wrong for thinking that donald trump's statements on tuesday it really set us backwards. the statement that he made on monday came too late, but he should have j

but i want you to listen to lindsay graham, the republican senator from south carolina, he's been speakingut very, very strongly on the threat from north korea. >> it's up to president trump to deliver a very firm, unequivocal message to north korea and china, and secretary tillerson's job is to find a diplomatic solution, i would suggest what he said about north korea was at best unartful. >> at best. what is it at worst? >> i think it gives mixed messages and they continue to believe we're not serious. i know what a military attack would look like in north korea, it would be horrible, it would be devastating and it may be the only action to protect the homeland. >> i have great respect for lindsay graham. i think the secretary of state, this is the latest policy. we're ready to have a dialogue, i think talk about a pre-emptive strike, war is inevitable, is not helpful because it inflames tensions. i think we have to continue to work with china, although in the end, i don't think china will help us with north korea to get on the same page with south korea, because we're tied together. the

that's the kindest thing i heard and that came from lindsay graham. so i don't think the president did enough. eric: but some would say he didn't have all the facts. the law enforcement has not put out the details in dealing with the suspect, although we have heard through the media reports that he supposedly was infatuated with hitler and infatuated with the nazis and was, you know, part of the rally, the white nationalist rally. >> well, as it's been said, who are you going to believe me or your lying eyes? we all saw that video. it was very clear very early on what was going on here. the president at the very least missed an opportunity. but i think it became very clear that there are two subjects that president trump simply doesn't want to criticize, he doesn't want to go by -- he doesn't want to criticize the people in his base, who happen to share those ideas. and secondly, he doesn't want to criticize vladimir putin of russia. those are the two subjects and people he simply won't go near. it is amazing to me that the president was actually toug

>> lindsay graham saying mr.residents of the united states named bush, issuing this joint statement today. saying america must always reject racial bigotry, anti-semitism. we are all created equal and endowed by our creator. now they don't specifically name donald trump. but this is again another shot across the bow of this white house saying, mr. president, it is your job, it is your job to stand up for the, quote, decency and greatness of our country at a moment like this. >> and republicans were quick after saturday to sort of offer these same suggestions. and then you had on monday, the president actually saying words that, you know, many people had wanted him to say right out of the gate on saturday. and at the time, you heard all sorts of people saying, you know, it's too late after saturday, we know how he really feels. now it's really too late. and it's hard to see where the president goes the here, other than perhaps hoping that the page just sort of turns on its own. >> because we know how he feels now,

, a failure of the system seen not just nationally, around the world, and people like senator lindsay graham have put down their marker, that ain't going to happen. there will be hell to pay if that happens. >> the most loaded words in the business, we will see. john flannery, mathew whitaker,

this time he's take to go twitter to slam lindsay graham. icity seeking lindsay gallon ham falsely stated i said there's moral equivalency between the kk. neonatzis and white supremacists. he goes on to say, and people like miss higher. such a disgusting lie. he just can't forget his election trouncing. people of south carolina will remember. now, of course, lindsay graham made a statement yesterday this what the president was referring to. in that same time this is what senator graham said. mr. president, i encourage to you try to bring us together as a nation after this horrific event in charlottesville. your words are dead having a americans not healing them. he goes on to say this. many republicans do not agree with and will fight back against the idea that the party of lincoln has welcome mat out for the david dukes of the world. so again president trump respresponding to what lindsay graham has to same lindsay graham along witness media twisting his words lost people saying, mr. president, it was there for everyone to hear. >> multiple

do you agree with senator lindsay graham?put it in context, we are now in the most dangerous part of the missile cris crisis in 1. when you put an opponent with his back against the wall, and you give him no option except to fight, that's what he's going to do. the brilliant of what kennedy did during the cuban missile crisis he put aside the warnings you say. i believe the way out for kim jong-un and the north korean regime would be the preservation of that regime. let me give you an example of what i just said. we said to moammar gadhafi if you give up your missile development, we will not invade. so we're living with one of the unintended consequences of that missile policy. and kim jong-un says it's better to be a nuclear power and not believe the word of the west. >> it north koreans have not been shy in saying, you know what? we don't want to wind up like moammar ca gadhafi and his nucl regime. >> this has been through four presidents now, president clinton, president bush, obama and now trump. assuming he is a rational

south carolina senator lindsay graham joins us. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> you were listening to the president. what do you think? >> i think there'll be a lot of bipartisan support in congress for this. i'm proud and relieved that president trump made a national security decision and listened to the president and shows the will to stand up to radical islam. i'm relieved he didn't take the advice to withdraw which would be zras -- disastrous. it's a very inspiring speech and i can guarantee you a lot of people in congress will be behind the president. >> you have not been afraid to be critical of the president been on the back end of the president's twitter account and you were open to addressing the charlottesville situation. >> given the speech in charlottesville we probably wouldn't have had much of an entanglement. it's not about charlottesville tonight. it's about going forward in afghanistan. winning a war you can't afford to lose. you know how i feel hearing my commander-in-chief saying we'll win. the gloves

got to come back with a tweet criticizing lindsay graham. instead of focus on the issues that matter to the american people, tax reform, getting a healthcare bill passed. do you think that's still a live tax reform or at least tax cuts by year-end? >> well if it isn't the republicans deserve to lose in the midterm and a lot of the guys need to go ahead and resign and say we're too weak to get it done. you've got the numbers and the majority and the president that wants to do it and will sign the bill when it gets to its desk, for gosh sake put it on his desk and quit worrying about the distractions and so what if donald trump tweets some things? there's some things i wish maybe he wouldn't distract his own message and there's battles he gets into. i wish he wouldn't but the fact is he's president. he has an agenda. it's an agenda that will bring real jobs real growth to america which by the way, we're already seeing even in advance of it. just in anticipation. the stock markets exploded. >> right. >> jobs at a 17-year high. there's good thin

him over their dispute, and also he needs the -- taking a tougher tone, like republican senator lindsay graham with, a frequent critic of trump, saying this, through his statements yesterday, president trump took a step backwards saying there's an equivalence between ne-o-na i neo-nazis, kkk members and white supremacists. the question is exactly how republicans will fight back, whether there will be hearings on capitol hill, or at least symbolic votes rebuking the president, as some democrats are pushing the house right now, but we're not getting any indication that republicans are joining that effort as of yet. but this all is overshadowing what the president's trying to do on capitol hill, wolf. >> he certainly is. in addition to blaming violence on both sides, mr. trump also defending white supremacists and others. >> you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, they were people protesting very quietly the taking down of the statue of robert e. lee. you had a lot of people in that group that were there to innocently protest. >> we now want

he also called out lindsay graham who said the president must be harsher on hate groups. insisting protesters are to blame for the weekend's deadly violence in charlottesville. >> some of these groups believe they have a friend in donald trump. donald trump's job is to dissuade them. >> president trump also took a swipe at arizona senator jeff flake, calling him toxic, and endorsing flake's opponent in >>> vandalism is suspected at the site of a folk art statue. the statue of a defiant african american mother was toppled had afternoon -- this afternoon. it was placed there by an activist. >> reporter: police in baltimore are looking into the possibility of vandalism, though it's possible this flimsy statue of wet paper- mache came down on its own, there are no witnesses that we know of. >> it is a hateful crime. >> it saddens me, but it doesn't surprise me at all. >> it just goes to show where we are as a country. >> the statue was put on a city owned pedestal by activists without permission. the city celebrated the removal of a confederate monument, ordered by mayor kath

. >> i want to ask about a comment lindsay graham said this mornin morning.a military option to destroy north korea's programs and north korea itself. as the white house supportive of and battlements connect will the white house be supportive of that option to destroy north korea's program and north korea itself? >> i just keep hearing somebody's phone. talking or something. it's very distracting. >> destroy north korea's program and north korea itself? >> the president obviously has been very outspoken about how he feels about north korea, weighing all options, keeping all options on the table and as we have said many times before, we are not going to broadcast what we are going to do until that happens. >> i'm sorry? >> destroying the country like lindsey graham talked about? 's bill is not what i'm saying. the president has been very outspoken about the need to stop north korea. we've been very focused on stopping the nuclear program, stopping the missiles, stopping the aggression, that still continues to be the focus and we are keeping all options on the

lindsay graham stands by his assessment thath korea continue path of enhancing its missile program.dsay graham also said that what he's hearing from the president and rex tillerson at the state department, are two different messages, as graham said to north korea, you are not our enemy, he said at best, it's inartful, at worst, it's mixed messaging. what's your take? >> i heard senator graham say something else that was very important, japan has to encourage -- we have to sharpen that choice. we started to do that with president obama, i hope president trump continues. and it's pretty straight forward. the message to china should be, look, if you can't or won't help us solve this problem, and bring north korea to the table, we're going to have to continue to do things that are not aimed at you, that you don't like, more missile testing in the south china sea. and sanctions including businesses who are doing business with north korea. we have got to get the north koreans to at least stop testing this stuff, because the more they test, the closer they get to perfecting technology that

. >> today south carolina senator lindsay graham called neo nazi domestic terrorists. >> i would urge the president to disswayed them of the fact that he is sim pathetic to their cause because their cause is hate t is unamerican. >> reporter: colorado senator cory gardner agrees. >> he should use this opportunity today to say this is terrorism, this is domestic terrorism, this is white nationalism and it has to stop. >> responding to pressure this morning, a white house spokesman offered a more reb ngess sficpe conmn nation, of course, includes white supremacists, kkk, neo-nazi and all extremist groups but it is clear leaders of right wing ideology support the president. former kkk grant wizard david duke in charlottesville yesterday. >> we're going to fulfill the promises of donald trump. that's what we believed in, that is why we voted for donald trump. >> the president denies he has anything to do with the rising confidence of white nationalists or racial division. >> not donald trump, not bar ak obama, this has been going on for a long long time. >> reporter: now to date president

like mitch mcconnell and lindsay graham and scott of south carolina. in order to get anything done in the senate he cannot afford to lose two votes and alienated key members every single day. >> every politician's goal, the first day in office is to get reelected. steve bannon is the person that helped him get reelected and tapped into the people that mainstream media forgot. steve bannon somehow now who the voters were. will it hurt the base? >> you are right about the influence in a steve bannon had even though the psident chafed at it. now the president has the opposite problem. he is with his core supporters, overall 35% approval rating now his strong reproveal rate with republicans is jumping, he is harding on to the hard core base that steve bannon found. he has to reach out beyond the base be rank and file republicans and reach out to independents and democrats and secure majorities in the congress. steve bannon was not helping with that efforts at all. he was alienating members of congress even if he was securing the base he was alienating othe

and i want to tell you what lindsay graham said this morning on "the today show." he says, "if this is true" -- this washington post reporting -- "it was a bad decision by the president, which will make us ask more questions. when you get caught in a lie about one thing, that makes it hard to say we'll just let the other stuff go." is this what is hurting the president's legislative agenda, this credibility issue on the hill? sarah: i think what's hurting the legislative agenda is congress's inability to get things passed. >> can you elaborate on that a little bit, sarah? because clearly there is a concern from some republicans that the president is not always being as truthful as he could be. how does he plan to address that? sarah: i think by being truthful and transparent as he has every single day. go ahead. >> thank you, sarah. i'd like to return to north korea. with north korea continuing to escalate nuclear tensions, can we expect any actions from the administration to ratchet up pressure of actions on china? sarah: as we've said, we're not going to broadcas

a disaster for republicans, they really should figure out how to pass, vote on that bill that lindsay grahamotect bob mueller from whatever might be happening. >> mitch o'c ...it starts a chain reaction... ...that's heard throughout the connected business world. at&t network security helps protect business, from the largest financial markets to the smallest transactions, a. >>> r. >>> mitch mcconnell made these remarks yesterday about president donald trump's repeal and replace of obamacare. >> of course i have been in this line of work before, and i think except that the expectations of how quickly things happen in the democratic process. and so, part of the reason i think people feel like we're under performing is because too many kind of artificial deadlines. >> this morning fox "no, zoesenator, you are a weak spineless leader who does not keep his word and you need to retire." then he tweeted senator mitch mcconnell said i have excessive expectations but don't think so. after seven years of hearing repeal and replace why not done? there again he's blaming leader mcconnell and senate repu

attorney general, lindsay graham said that, white supremacists and hate groups believe they have a friende case? if so, how does that get fixed? >> i don't believe that its the case. the directions i have gotten from the white house is what i believe and what i believe. that we will not tolerate this kind of hatred and violence. we will not allow these extremist groups to obtain credibility, morally, legally, they're unjustified. in their actions. and approach to american democracy. it cannot be countenanced. >> will you make issues in charlottesville a priority for you and the department of justice? >> it absolutely is. no bigger case right now that the we are working on. every resource needed will be dedicated to it. we are going to stud gee what happened. see if we can do better in the future. and i'll be asking that we do that kind of thing today. as the a matter of fact. we'll have our top people, in charlottesville. >> t stains happen... and they happen easily. the other side of this... is they can be removed... easily. spray and wash's... powerful formula... removes over 100 stains

president trump blasted republican law makers and target the lindsay graham accusing him of spreading lies and the president tweeted of jeff flake of arizona calling him toxic and another presidential group is calling it quits over the president's comments. they called on the president to resign if he does not see a problem with his comments. john? >> reporter: it is a week that could have been avoided if the president would have given thoughts. he could rightly i think assess that it was one of the worst weeks ever for the president. splitting the republican party and openly defying him. and now as you saw by listening to corker and are james scott, there are members of the party which are in open revolt against the president and newt gipping rich leaving the president more isolated than he was before. >> he's more isolated than he realized and he has on the hill far more people to sit on one side and not help him right now. he's taken a good first step with bringing in general kelly. but he needs to think about what is not worked you don't get down to the 35 percent range of approva

republican senator lindsay graham is on the armed services committee, he also served 33 years in theand the national guard. he discussed the possibility of war on cbs this morning. >> there are two scenarios where we would go to war with north korea. they attack guam, or some other american interest, or allies, or if they tried to keep developing an icbm with nuclear weapon on top to hit the homeland we would act. president trump has basically drawn a red line, saying that he will never allow north korea to have an icbm missile that can hit america with a nuclear weapon on top. he is not going to let that happen. he is not going to contain the threat. he is going to stop the threat. >> when you say that, president trump says that, there is at issue the question of how many people might die from a retaliation on south korea. >> yeah, general mattis described it well. a horrific war, unfortunately. we are headed that way unless north korea stops. put yourself in president trump's shoes for a moment. where does your allegiance lie? isn't your primary purpose as president of the united s

and went after jeff flake saying he is quote, toxic and attacked long time republican senator lindsay graham accusing him of being publicity seeking and they are not letting the comments lie many and now trump is receiving praise from the most hate filled groups in america. and history is watching us all. >> and newt gingrich says the support of the party is grim. >> he has much less support than he thinks he does and much of it is self inflicted and they are calling on democrats to file articles of impeachment because of charlottesville. showing he is uncapable of protecting americans from enemies both foreign and domestic. >> and in bucks county police are looking for the person that stabbed a driver in his vehicle. it happened in front of the man's young son and investigators say the man was double parked. john rawlins is live for us with the story in reading. hi sharrie, this happened 24 hours ago. the police investigate is ongoing, there was a double parked car, there were several people alongside the car and came a suv behind it, he honked his horn to move forward and instead of doing

again, lindsay graham was very critical of the president's response to the charlottesville violent. this is what he writes this morning. mr. president, like most, i seek to move our nation, my state and our party forward toward the light, not back to the darkness. your tweet honoring ms. heyer was very nice and appropriate. well done. however because of the manner in which you have handled the tragedy, you're now receiving praise from some of the most racist and hate filled individual the and groups in our country. for the sake of our nation,s as our president, please fix this. history is watching us all. >> that's from republican senator lindsey gram this morning. so katelyn, let me ask you. is this a fight that the president wants to be in right now with the people he is now fighting with? >> well, we know that they come back to washington next month with a large to do list on the budget. the debt ceiling and other items like tax reform. traditionally you wouldn't want a president picking fights with iz his own party with so much at stake. that has been the mo of this president fo

. >> lindsay graham, senator from south carolina. good to have you with us tonight, senator. when we come back we'll weigh in. >> you're watching special coverage of the president's address to the nation on afghanistan. we'll be right back. >> we will defeat them and defeat them handily. >> we're a partner and friend but will not dictate to the afghan people how to govern their own complex society. we are not nation building again. we are killing terrorists. >> welcome dana perino. politically the president has had a tough couple of weeks. we saw a different tone from had him this evening. do you think this will start to turn the page in where he's been the last couple of days? >> he says he always has a fight politically even going back two years in the campaign. tonight setting politics aside is what he did and that was important because he was speaking directly in front of military members. it's not a crowd or cheering like we'll have tomorrow night in arizona. by all accounts the special forces and veterans of the afghan war love tonight's speech. they appreciated it. the

. >> then you have lindsay graham saying it's inevitable if they keep up the tests. and then he said that the president told him "if they're going to be a war, it will be over there, if thousands die, they're going to die over there." what do you think that does to you can tas th talks tillerson open to? >> what it does is send a message kim young un should maintain his path towards a nuclear capable icbm which he sees as his own way way to survive and negotiate a way out of this. it also makes allies like south korea pretty darn nervous. the they're in range of the conventional artillery aligned all along the borders that could hit, they estimate just about every three square meter area of the capitol in the south. the it makes our allies nerf ous and china's point of view. they've got to come in to quiet this down. >> david, on the subject of china, clearly the president of the united states was hoping to get help from china to deal with north korea, not getting that help in what may be the biggest story of the day that will go unnoticed. the administration may tak

. >> harris: you hear lindsay graham same, we do not have a great options in all this.be go war with north korea? >> hopefully not. we do have some options that do not always get discussed on the table. one of which is certainly our missile defense program. we put an additional thaad end. ground base that we are strengthening. they approved another 2.5 billion and nuclear defense to help there. we are certainly strengthening our allies and by putting this pressure on china, we can get north korea on the table. there is no reason for regime like this with as erratic in the leader, to have nuclear's and missiles were hitting our allies and the united states. >> harris: to advocate president trump meeting directly or someone in the demonstration, directly with north korea? >> i think of china is involved in north korea coming to the table to negotiate, elimination or secession of their missile program and ending their nuclear weapon program, those are talks that are worth attending. they will de-escalate. they will make our country safe safer. it certainly is the direction

lindsay graham says it would be devastating to our economy which relies on the immigrant workforce. >critics like the u.s. chamber of commerce says it would make things harder for business and hurt the u.s. economy. >>> well, the trump administration could begin investigating universities whether their policies discriminate distance applicantses after "the new york times" saw a job posting seeking current employees interested in quote, investigations into race based discrimination in college and university emissions. the spokesperson declined more details. >>> and we are learning that north korea's missile launch came dangerously close to crossing paths with a commercial airplane. the icbm was launched 2300 miles into commercial flight paths an air france flight was flying in the same area, less than 10 minutes the plane passed by and the missile lands in the area where the air france plane just flown. >> they had no idea they were in danger because the missile was coming in from out space. >> air france says the flight landed without incidence and the airline constantly analyses pote

portion of the party and john mccain and you would have seen scathing editorials from people like lindsay grahamat you said, i mean, he's trying to delicately, as a word diplomatically, and the president says we're going to handle this and every ally says, what does that mean, we're going to handle it? >> we have heard this many times in this administration, but we have heard the headlines they're contemplating tough actions against china. and we have heard every week, they're about to crack down on chinese trade practices, but to the point you were making earlier about the president trying to conduct foreign policy by tweet. the chinese newspaper editorial said trump is quite a personality and he likes to tweet. however emotional venting request not become the diguidan for solving the nuclear issues on the korean peninsula. emotional venting cannot become the guidance for solving the korean problem? >> this is an issue where i don't think it's necessarily a trump issue, it's not clear to me what president bush or president obama would have done, they would have had a more organized process. it'

this morning the lashed out on twitter at senator lindsay graham saying, publicly seeking lindsay graham'sat i said that there is moral equivalent see between the kkk, neonatzis and white supremacists and people like miss higher such a disgusting lie. he just can't forget his election trouncing. >>> there are several reports of the president's aids very frustrated by his actions in the past few days. >> the question is, can anybody wrangle him? what damage control is going on the white house. >> joining us richard levick, levick communications which specializes in management and consulting. >> one thing i want to talk about business at inspect of this right now which i think we will take charlottesville out of it, but a lot of these business leaders stepped out because of the comments the president made. these were business leaders put into place to help advance the business of the country which is something the president specialized in as a member of the business community. what do you do now that business leaders start to lead this council that busines blame they were all going to leave

lindsay graham last week said explicitly if the president decides to go after mueller that could be the beginning of the end of his presidency and you've seen really over past week more republicans taking more strident positions. criticizing this president more directly. it is not just lindsey graham and ben sass any more there are other people coming out. jeff flake being one of them. but a number of people standing up and saying this bothers me too and going back to the mueller hiring a white-collar crime attorney, this investigation just getting started. probably going into 2018 and maybe past 2018, but that will drive president trump up the wall. what did he say about a week or two ago? you can focus on russia, but that's it. when he hears there is somebody who is an expert in white collar crimes added to this legal team, i would just say i'm going to set my alarm for about pretty early tomorrow morning and check twitter for what the president has to say. because this is something that seems like almost inevitably will set him off. >> that's a big test for the new white house chief

. >> yesterday, republican lindsay graham said the whiplash of explanations is damaging their futureredibility. >> if the president was directly involved in creating that statement, it's not illegal to lie to the press, does it bother you? >> yeah, it bothers me a lot, because, one, he put his son in jeopardy. now, we have to wonder what don junior's team will tell you bhab he actual about what he did. if he didn't know about the e-mail, the statement may have fooled you. >>> the fallout continues overet president's friday speech, the acting member of the drug administration is explaining a memo explaining that president trump, quote, condoned the mishandling of suspects. >> when you see the thugs thrown in the back of a paddy wagon, you just see them thrown in, rough, i say, please don't be too nice. like you guys put somebody in the car and you're protecting their head, you know you put your hand over somebody. like don't hit their head and they just killed somebody. i said you can take the hand away, okay. >> on saturday acting dea chief chuck rosenburg wrote a memo to the agency'
