ron klain is still with us in washington. this story of what donald trump did, he sent out a doctored video of nancy pelosi, but i wanted to cover it without furthering his smear of nancy pelosi which had the intent of doing exactly what he did to hillary clinton who fell ill at an event on 9/11, i think, in new york. this is part of the sexism of donald trump where he makes a woman look feeble and part of the debasement of our politics where we tweets someone in a doctored video. >> you have enough of a campaign person in this, to not use the video and use another means to show what he's doing. which i appreciate. this is what he does to strong women. they started going after hillary for being weak and sick, which i thought was die boll tick, but smart because she was so strong and that was a strength of hers. now he's doing it to pelosi. there's a lot of projection, right. he's an older guy. he's not the most -- you know, he doesn't take great care of himself, he's not in the best shape. this is what he tries to do to women
