How does the Congresswoman's lack of manners have anything to do with what Trump did or did not do?

Will Lawrence O'Donnell and Joy Reid be called out by the Dems for attacking a Gold Star father?
Lawrence has some of the highest ratings on 24 cable news. You might not like his show but millions are now watching and being heavily influenced just like FOX "influenced" tea party and then trumpy folk...


as a dem i am delighted to see the left finally getting the same kind of media but left instead of right.

it really must suck for the Rs though, because the likes of Maddow are blowing up new stories every week.

Clearly Kelly is not remembering correctly what she was boasting about, but his point stands that she was like an empty barrel boasting about being a star for getting legislation through to name the building after the agents in time for the dedication ceremony. Who knows whether or not she boasted about the funding as well during some other part of the ceremony. She says it was funded before she was elected in other interviews.

Interestingly, she also points out that FBI agents leave home everyday knowing they may not come back.....different version of "they signed up for it".......said with family sitting there. Quite ironic.

To recap:

- Trump lied about Obama
- Trump lied about his phone call
- Kelly lied about the person who gave an accurate account of phone call

#Sad!

The Congresswoman's manners shouldn't depend on anyone else's.
Do we know that Trump didn't know the congresswoman was with them?

As for how the Office of the Presidency handles this, I don't know. We don't know if Trump did or did not say who was with him. We don't know if he was on speaker on his side, etc.

I can see times it would be appropriate for him to disclose who is there and times it would just be cumbersome and not matter.

Fact remains, a Congresswoman listening in to a private call from a US President should have made her presence known.
Rubbish.

you are being completely hypocritical here. If Wilson was required to disclose who was there and could hear then SO WAS POTUS.

Kelly was trying to smear a congresswoman and the best he could come up with was him not liking her speaking at an event and then LYING about it to make it sound bad. and add to that phone etiquette, and let's be honest here, POTUS did not list who was in the room either.

what we have is a POTUS who lacks any empathy at all and his right hand simply abandoning all pretense of honesty to clean up Trump's mess.


and lets remember why we are talking about this.!

Trump's gross incompetence and failure to follow procedures just got 4 Americans killed.!

It wouldn't take much coding for the underlying message to slip completely by Trump.
