what scott bolden just talked about, what happened since this event took place.rd about that. making the decision to resign and what happens next. >> one thing i will say about this piece, it just struck me that a lot of men have been careless. they think they're uncomfortable. they don't pay attention to space or proximity or anything like that. >> i manage 100 lawyers. it's not that hard to act like you have some sense. and sometimes it's hard for people to make good judgment and good decisions when interacting with colleagues. it shouldn't be that hard. somehow, we make it harder. >> scott bolden joining me here. >>> the top of the next hour, confronting the president's poison. vall valerie jarrett is going to join us in a bit. we're going to sit down with one of the lawmakers to call for impeachment of president trump, steve cohen. he's going to join us here, as well. use... are you going 45? -uh, yes. 55 is a suggestion. -...it's kind of like driving with his dad. -what a sign, huh? terry, can you take a selfie of me? -take a selfie of you? -yeah. can you ma

scott bolden. you wrote a piece for cnn.com that you predicted will be the trump era's defining slogan. why do you think that? >> well, first of all, i think we need to point out donald trump did not push back against send her back. he didn't do it in the moment. he has not really done it since and we'll know at the next rally on august 1st, scheduled for august 1st if he does manage to convince his supporters not to use it again. >> we did the math. it was 13 seconds that he let them chant and he waited for it to die out before he started talking. >> and so that failure is a complicit in allowing that to take hold and the fact that so few republican lawmakers have come out to condemn it means the party owns this. they own all of trump. they don't just own the pieces that they like. maybe tax reform here or conservative judges here. they own all of this. >> do you still consider yourself a republican? >> i'm a conservative and i'm not pleased with my party. i'm certainly not this party's republican
