... as well, and call it what it is. It's wrong what is happening. It's wrong how some of these Democrats are treating President-elect Trump. We have a great relationship with the White House. I talk to Dennis Mc Donough every day. We had a great meeting with all of our cabinet members and all of the sitting cabinet members in the White House on Friday. The transfer of power within the White House is going great. But to do this to President-elect Trump five days before he puts his hand on the bible, it's just wrong. And by the way, the Democrats are fundraising on this comment from Congressman Lewis right now. So they're making money on it. CHUCK TODD. Let me ask you this, because one of the things that Congressman Lewis says that he will never forget and possibly never forgive is when Donald Trump said that Vladimir Putin was a stronger leader than President Obama. And there is going to be some other people that respond to your comments right now, Mr. Priebus, and say, "Donald Trump spent five years questioning the legitimacy of Barack Obama's constitutional viability to be president of the United States with ...

I mean-. JOE LOCKHART. Or critiquing his ...

Wsj Editor Gerard Baker Defends 'lie' Comments From 'meet The Press' Appearance

... By Kelsey Sutton. 01/04/17 04:33 PM EST. In a editorial published Wednesday, Wall Street Journal editor Gerard Baker defended his hesitance to characterize untrue statements made by President-elect Donald Trump as "lies," which drew ire from some journalists when he first made the remarks during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday. In the editorial, published in the Journal, Baker expanded on the comments he made to “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd and said that calling a subject a liar requires a “very high standard of reporting.”. “Why the reluctance?" he wrote. "For my part, it’s not because I don’t believe that Mr. Trump has said things that are untrue. Nor is it because I believe that when he says things that are untrue we should refrain from pointing it out … “If we are to use the ...

Trump Fumes Over Inaugural Crowd Size

... impression that we just had an election! Why didn't these people vote? Celebs hurt cause badly,” Donald Trump tweeted. | Getty. Trump fumes over inaugural crowd size. The president and his allies are hitting back against reports that Trump’s inauguration drew significantly fewer people than his predecessor's did. Share on Facebook Share on Twitter. President Donald Trump and his team are still fuming over evidence of a relatively small crowd for his inauguration, with his chief of staff claiming the reports are an effort to “de-legitimize” Trump and another senior adviser explaining that the administration is offering “alternative facts.”. It has been an extraordinary start for the newly sworn-in president, in which Trump and his advisers have fixated on the inaugural crowd size and the well-attended protests, while also taking actions to freeze federal regulations and gut Obamacare. Story Continued Below. Early Sunday, Trump took to Twitter to lash out at the millions of protesters worldwide who came out for the Women’s March on Washington — before sending a much more conciliatory tweet later in the morning. “Watched protests ...

I Don’t Like Being A Political Prop

... "All of these debates right now about the press are extreme debates," Todd said. "Do it all or do nothing!'. Most of the time there's a middle ground. I'm not saying all the time. But most of the time. Especially when it comes to these media questions.". Skype seats. Trump administration officials have cited the closed, insular nature of the White House briefing as one of the justifications for moving it to a larger venue. A bigger room would mean more seats, and, presumably, questions from a wider array of journalists. But there's another solution: Todd said. Why not let reporters Skype in. "You could have four or five 'Skype seats' that are only open to news organizations that are based 200 miles or more outside of D. C., so that this isn't just a way for lazy reporters to phone it in." Todd said. "There are reporters whose beat (might be agriculture) and their publication is based in Omaha. But they don't have a Washington bureau, but they may have questions. That's the type of reporter who should have the opportunity to have a 'Skype seat' once a week.". These 'Skype seats' ...

He did have consistency in some idealistic ways. But you could tell that he didn't have a lot of policy depth in what he was saying. So while he would talk about something like Medicare or he would talk about something like health care reform he wouldn't realize what he was actually describing. And that's what got him into trouble especially with the Republicans. He was often going against, you know, long-established Republican talking points and platform. And that's where the inconsistencies. And when he would try and dial it back or work around it and say, "No that's not what I really believe," it's oftentimes what he said in the aftermath of some of these comments that made it a little murkier than it may have seemed initially. CHUCK TODD. Robert, it's Trump priorities versus Republican ...

... accepts the conclusions from the intelligence community on Russia's election interference. Here's her response to me. (BEGIN TAPE). KELLYANNE CONWAY. In terms of Russia, if the report says that they attempted, I read even The New York Times stories, they're saying they "aspired to" and they "attempted." They did not succeed. They did not succeed to embarrassing this country on the world stage. They did not succeed in throwing the election to Donald Trump. That's very clear in this report. And I don't want your viewers to be left with any other impression. Read The New York Times outtakes, read The Washington Post, read the report itself. There is no evidence that Russia succeeded in any alleged attempt to disrupt our democracy or in fact to influence the election results. CHUCK TODD. He wants to pursue better relations with Russia even staring at this report that says Russia was trying to disrupt our democracy. Does he believe he can do ...
