susan, do you agree with mona charen? >> i couldn't agree more.ould like to start that hash tag with conservative women, especially because she did highlight the most frustrating part about being a republican or conservative with president trump in power. it's the hypocrisy we've seen from other republicans and conservatives by staying with him. it has been tremendously frustrating and she was absolutely right to call on the hypocrisy with republicans backi backing roy moore. i do give her credit because that was not an easy thing to do. she's commented on this before, and kudos for her to stand up for the republican party and the conservative movement that wants to be represented. >> and what do you think of her comments that led her being escorted off the stage? >> i agree with susan. mona is really conservative and i don't agree with her columns, but i respect her for standing up on this. she talked about the left. our generation seems to, on both sides of the aisle, but these people like mona charen are trying to save the republican party. the

. >>> that panelist mona charen says after that security had to escort her from the building.ning us now is mona charen and she's a senior fellow. mona, thank you very much for being here. why did security have to escort you out after that? >> that i do not know. i never felt personally threatened but they did -- they did send several burly security people to see me to my uber. >> wow. so listen, they -- that audience didn't want to hear your message, they didn't want to hear about roy moore or hear what you had to say about one of the other speakers, marion le pen, she is the natural heir to grandfather as a holocaust denier. how can you see the cpac audience more on her side? >> i'm not sure where the whole cpac audience is. there was a huge contingent booing me and so we can presume whatever you like about them. i did also get some applause. i do think there are a lots and lots -- millions of conservatives who resist this trend, this movement of the republican party in the direction of blood soiled nationalism like we are seeing in europe. the le pen family is the an to my

david, you just heard mona charen's remarks there. do you explain evangelicals backing president trump despite the allegations of sexual misconduct by more than a dozen women, also the allegations of an affair with an adult film star. how do you explain the evangelical connection with the president? >> well, you know, obviously, he can explain that situation himself. i will say this. as it relates to evangelicals, look, they understand that donald trump is a sinner, but guess what, so am i, so are you, and so is everybody out there. and the good news about jesus and about this book, "the faith of donald trump," it talks about god's grace for everyone. it doesn't matter if you've sinned one time, 30 times, a million times. god's there for you, even when you're 71 years old and you're president of the united states and until you breathe your last breath, jesus wants you in heaven. so here we go. donald trump has had a interesting life, a rough life. when i say "rough," he's had a lot of moral failings in his life, for sure. but this boo

i certainly hope so. >> all right, mona, thank you. >> mona charen, thank you very much. >> thank youverything a and -- i have to say it was hopeful. what you did has conservatives speaking out. >> robert costa, thank you as well. mona, did you want to say something finally. >> no, thank you so much. >> great to have you on. >>> still ahead on "morning joe," one of the sad realities following a mass shooting is that gun stocks typically go up. cnbc's brian sullivan joins us ahead with a look at who are the people getting rich off gun massacres. >>> up next, a lot of developments over the week end in the russia probe. we'll bring in two members of the house intel committee when "morning joe" comes right back. whatever you're doing to stay healthy... there's something you may be missing. a key part of your wellness that you may be... overlooking. it's your eyes. that's why there's ocuvite, from bausch + lomb. as you age your eyes can lose vital nutrients. ocuvite helps replenish those nutrients. ocuvite has lutein, zeaxanthin, and omega-3. nourish your eyes to help them be their healthy

conservative author mona charen went off script saturday at the cpac earning aggressive boos and heckling for her rebuke of donald trump and roy moore. "washington examiner" reports that mona had to be escorted out for her own safety after her comments. it was a stark contrast to the raptures reception the day before for trump who tossed aside his prepared remarks to give his greatest hits. a stream of consciousness of rambling that have become the hallmark of his rhetorical style. here are some of the highlights. >> by the way, you don't mind if i go off script a little bit. it's sort of boring. >> you may be tmay be the only fulfill more promises. no president has cut so many regulations in their entire term. don't worry, you're getting the wall. okay. don't worry. you need electoral college, which, by the way, is much tougher than the popular vote. the popular vote would be so much easier. we have a very crooked media. we had a crooked candidate, by the way. but we have a very -- we a very, very crooked media. nobody that loves the second amendment more than i do. because people want t

. >> i want to share something with the columnist mona charen as she got booed talking about her party'm disappointed about people on our side for being hypocrites about sexual harassers or abusers of women in our party who sit in the white house who brag about their extramarital affairs or brag about mistreating women and because he happens to have an "r" after his name, we look the other way. we don't complain. the republican party evndorsed roy moore for the senate in the state of alabama even though he was a credibly accused child molester. you cannot stand for women -- >> not true! >> -- and put up with that. >> you can hear the women in the audience disagreeing with her. she wrote an op-ed. this is so freeing. nothing more freeing than telling the truth. it must be done again and again by those of us refused to be absorbed in the brainless, sinister, clownish thing called trumpism. ouch. other than that, that was really a trump central cpac, wasn't it? >> trumpism has taken over the republican party and conservative movement. i spoke with several at cpac would may not be in favor

. >> and called out very wonderfully i thought by mona charen on that issue.e of the great subjects for me the past two years has been cpac seemed to me -- i guess i should note this -- like an old remnant of the vibrant, alive and intellectually acute conservatism which n which you and i were involved 30 years ago and 20 years ago. cpac just didn't seem that. it seemed older, crankier, literally darker every time i watched one of its speeches. it was like in a dark room with people feeling beleaguered, not confident, but my great question, i think let me throw it out, by great i mean the big question for me is where did donald trump come from? in the old republican party, in the old conservative movement, the one we were all very young in, he would not have been a possibility but since then the past 15, 20 years we've had two major wars, very frustrating and painful. we have had the crash of the american stock market. we have seen america's standing in the world seem diminished by those two things. that to me is where donald trump came from and i think those
