quickly, trent lott back then made a bigoted crack at a 100th birthday for strom thurmond who had runack then, but the implication of those comments quickly turned into a firestorm. and president george w. bush quickly followed congress and condemned the comments. >> recent comments by senator lott do not reflect the spirit of our country. every day our nation was segregated was a day that america was unfaithful to our founding ideals. >> contrast with our president now. >> mr. president, what about steve king's remarks. >> who? >> steve king. congressman steve king. >> i don't -- i haven't been following it. i really haven't been following it. >> come on. we know that's not true. he has been following this. and the terrible part is, he's been following in king's footsteps. trump shares beliefs with king, doesn't he? i hate to say it, but it's true. king even defended himself by saying, wait a minute, you know what i am? i'm a nationalist, the same stained term our president uses for himself. laced with bigotry and false preference. what is new is that not-so-subtle encouragement of p

that, 15 years ago, said something much more mild, though offensive i think about praising strom thurmond to walk away. we've seen people resign over less from congress. my expectations were so low, that i was irrationally exuberant. >> let's talk about the democrats now, you had some breaking news after you interviewed. >> as he always does. >> from hawaii. i want to give everybody a preview of what they can expect tonight on your show. >> are you going to run for president of the united states and do something about it? don't you think she should? don't you think she should? are you going to run? >> i have decided to run, and will be making a formal announcement in the next week. >> and you didn't know that was coming. >> no, in fact, i have been trying to figure out if i was assured, no, she's not going to, she's going to wait a little while. i've known her for a long time. >> we know she's an iraq war veteran. >> she's. so i think she's probably going to be the youngest candidate, she's just barely old enough to run for president. she left her seat as a state representative. i think t

then senator strom thurmond asked richardson if he want add special prosecutor is would shield no one. and prosecute regardless of any way, shape or form. richardson responded exactly. do you want special counsel mueller to shield no one and prosecute the case regardless of who is affected? >> i want special counsel mueller to discharge his responsibilities as a federal prosecutor. and exercise the judgment that he's expected to exercise under the rules. finish his job. >> senator kennedy followed up by asked richardson if the special prosecutor would have the complete authority and responsibility for determining who he prosecuted and at what location richardson said simply yes. would you give a similar answer? >> i would give the answer that's in the current regulations, which is the special counsel has, you know, broad discretion. but the acting attorney general in this case, rosenstein, can ask about major decisions. if they disagree on a major decision and if after giving great way to the special counsel's position, the acting attorney general felt that it was so unwarranted under

bush, how lott was making a joke about strom thurmond and george w.h came out and said, this is not who we are. segregation was a horrible period. it was a divorcing of ourselves from the values of this country. lott apologized. he actually stepped down from a position. that was the republican party. the conservative values, character counts. what the hell happened? >> well, i will say -- let me carry a brief for my republican friends for a minute. kevin mccarthy and steve scalise, two republicans, and cheney from wyoming, the number three republicans in the house have all disavowed congressman king's comments. good for them. >> but it's mild what they say. they're not up in high dungeon about other things. that certainly don't matter as much. >> that's politics. what i'm more upset is by our president. we need our president to be a moral leader, most especially on race. let me remind ow about george h.w. bush. he was running for governor of louisiana and president bush senior, bush 41 said, said this. he called him a charlatan. he called him a bigot.

you were working for president bush when trent lott made his statement that strom thurmond, how much off would we have been if he had become president, and george w. bush said this is unacceptable, no, and he resigned. >> part of the problem is we think -- this does not have a parallel on the left. there just -- it doesn't. there isn't. there isn't a strain of racism on the left. i don't -- so i think that this gets brushed under the rug. people sort of tolerate -- it's been normalized. like you just said, they don't have anywhere else to go, so they attach to the republican party. the republican party doesn't have to let them. how -- how do -- how do republicans sort of get back to doing something decent? >> they would have to completely reinvent the party. look, i don't think they had a road to damascus conversion over the last couple days and decided they were going to finally try to hold steve king accountable. what happened -- >> he says that stuff in the iowa papers. his mistake was doing it in the "times." >> control of the house changed and democrats were going to sanction hi
