BLITZER In the same ░░░░░░░░ York Times interview he ░░░░░░░░ white supremacists He denounced ░░░░░░░░ neo Nazis who support ░░░░░░░░ said and I m ░░░░░░░░ him now It s ░░░░░░░░ a group I want ░░░░░░░░ energize and if they ░░░░░░░░ energized I want to ░░░░░░░░ into it and find ░░░░░░░░ why Specific words Tell ░░░░░░░░ tell us a little ░░░░░░░░ more Should he go ░░░░░░░░ and deliver a speech ░░░░░░░░ denouncing these neo Nazis ░░░░░░░░ white supremacists saying if ░░░░░░░░ think SPICER Well look ░░░░░░░░ is every tweet BLITZER ░░░░░░░░ m just asking SPICER ░░░░░░░░ I get it BLITZER ░░░░░░░░ he go out there ░░░░░░░░ deliver a specific speech ░░░░░░░░ make that abundantly clear ░░░░░░░░ doesn t want these ░░░░░░░░ s support and he ░░░░░░░░ them SPICER When is ░░░░░░░░ going to be enough ░░░░░░░░ has condemned everyone that ░░░░░░░░ come out and supported ░░░░░░░░ every group that s ░░░░░░░░ him At some point ░░░░░░░░ ve got to take ░░░░░░░░ know his position and ░░░░░░░░ and move on But ░░░░░░░░ and over again somebody ░░░░░░░░ come out and say ░░░░░░░░ support Donald Trump He ░░░░░░░░ to denounce them Someone ░░░░░░░░ He has to refute ░░░░░░░░ tweet At what point ░░░░░░░░ his position clear He ░░░░░░░░ said that he refutes ░░░░░░░░ that s not the ░░░░░░░░ of movement that he ░░░░░░░░ to support or be ░░░░░░░░ by him That s ░░░░░░░░ the kind of people ░░░░░░░░ he wants to be ░░░░░░░░ with And so I ░░░░░░░░ t know how many ░░░░░░░░ times Donald Trump can ░░░░░░░░ his position clear but ░░░░░░░░ s been crystal clear ░░░░░░░░ a long time And ░░░░░░░░ and over and over ░░░░░░░░ with every tweet utterance ░░░░░░░░ know you name it ░░░░░░░░ post he has to ░░░░░░░░ respond to it He ░░░░░░░░ made his position clear ░░░░░░░░ s time that we ░░░░░░░░ that position and move ░░░░░░░░ Because that s not ░░░░░░░░ focus His focus is ░░░░░░░░ BLITZER Why do you ░░░░░░░░ Sean these neo Nazi ░░░░░░░░ these white supremacist groups ░░░░░░░░ we saw them here ░░░░░░░░ Washington over the weekend ░░░░░░░░ saw the video Why ░░░░░░░░ you think they still ░░░░░░░░ him SPICER I don ░░░░░░░░ know That s really ░░░░░░░░ my focus figuring out ░░░░░░░░ certain groups support him ░░░░░░░░ won the election with ░░░░░░░░ of millions of people ░░░░░░░░ haven t sat down ░░░░░░░░ figured out why certain ░░░░░░░░ you know supported him ░░░░░░░░ didn t He won ░░░░░░░░ election His focus is ░░░░░░░░ making the country better ░░░░░░░░ at some point take ░░░░░░░░ word as what it ░░░░░░░░ But to continue to ░░░░░░░░ him over and over ░░░░░░░░ to denounce the same ░░░░░░░░ the same words the ░░░░░░░░ groups over and over ░░░░░░░░ is getting a bit ░░░░░░░░ His focus his words ░░░░░░░░ uniting this country moving ░░░░░░░░ forward creating jobs I ░░░░░░░░ t know how many ░░░░░░░░ he can talk about ░░░░░░░░ But he is continually ░░░░░░░░ on this and other ░░░░░░░░ to repeat his position ░░░░░░░░ and over again and ░░░░░░░░ seems a bit silly ░░░░░░░░ that s not what ░░░░░░░░ focus is BLITZER Because ░░░░░░░░ does it in response ░░░░░░░░ questions you re right ░░░░░░░░ s very tough in ░░░░░░░░ to questions But he ░░░░░░░░ t do it necessarily ░░░░░░░░ his own initiative For ░░░░░░░░ he hits the news ░░░░░░░░ when he thinks there ░░░░░░░░ a story that s ░░░░░░░░ He tweets when he ░░░░░░░░ outraged about something in ░░░░░░░░ media Hamilton what happened ░░░░░░░░ the Broadway musical Hamilton ░░░░░░░░ he doesn t seem ░░░░░░░░ go out of his ░░░░░░░░ to express his outrage ░░░░░░░░ people hailing him with ░░░░░░░░ salutes Why doesn t ░░░░░░░░ do that more dramatically ░░░░░░░░ you will and make ░░░░░░░░ clear he wants no ░░░░░░░░ of these people SPICER ░░░░░░░░ I think it s ░░░░░░░░ and answered Wolf You ░░░░░░░░ asked me eight eight ░░░░░░░░ the same question I ░░░░░░░░ you what his position ░░░░░░░░ That s because that ░░░░░░░░ not his focus His ░░░░░░░░ is making this country ░░░░░░░░ for all Americans creating ░░░░░░░░ better country creating a ░░░░░░░░ education system for all ░░░░░░░░ rebuilding our inner cities ░░░░░░░░ s what his focus ░░░░░░░░ So I get that ░░░░░░░░ guys don t want ░░░░░░░░ ask the same question ░░░░░░░░ and over again and ░░░░░░░░ them denounce it eight ░░░░░░░░ until Sunday But it ░░░░░░░░ not what he wants ░░░░░░░░ talk about He s ░░░░░░░░ on making this country ░░░░░░░░ on lifting people up ░░░░░░░░ again you re right ░░░░░░░░ s the news media ░░░░░░░░ and over and over ░░░░░░░░ asking the same question ░░░░░░░░ I don t know ░░░░░░░░ many times he has ░░░░░░░░ answer that question and ░░░░░░░░ figuring out the way ░░░░░░░░ the fashion that he ░░░░░░░░ do it next I ░░░░░░░░ if he goes out ░░░░░░░░ gives a speech then ░░░░░░░░ he you know write ░░░░░░░░ in the sky in ░░░░░░░░ airplane I mean at ░░░░░░░░ point is it enough ░░░░░░░░ don t know but ░░░░░░░░ think he s been ░░░░░░░░ and it s time ░░░░░░░░ move on BLITZER I ░░░░░░░░ what the a lot ░░░░░░░░ people would like to ░░░░░░░░ is a formal statement ░░░░░░░░ to SPICER No they ░░░░░░░░ t BLITZER Wait a ░░░░░░░░ wait a minute He ░░░░░░░░ a he did a ░░░░░░░░ and a half minute ░░░░░░░░ yesterday outlining his economic ░░░░░░░░ for the first 100 ░░░░░░░░ Why not simply do ░░░░░░░░ YouTube video like that ░░░░░░░░ say look and directly ░░░░░░░░ those people and say ░░░░░░░░ know what you re ░░░░░░░░ part of my team ░░░░░░░░ don t want your ░░░░░░░░ I hate what you ░░░░░░░░ doing and end it ░░░░░░░░ and for all Take ░░░░░░░░ initiative instead of simply ░░░░░░░░ when a reporter asks ░░░░░░░░ a question SPICER Because ░░░░░░░░ think Donald Trump has ░░░░░░░░ a pretty good job ░░░░░░░░ communicating an effective message ░░░░░░░░ the American people And ░░░░░░░░ I respect and appreciate ░░░░░░░░ ideas at what we ░░░░░░░░ do I think that ░░░░░░░░ Trump has done a ░░░░░░░░ job on his own ░░░░░░░░ figuring out how to ░░░░░░░░ communicate what the American ░░░░░░░░ really want right now ░░░░░░░░ they voted on November ░░░░░░░░ pretty unanimously in that ░░░░░░░░ BLITZER Well unanimously I ░░░░░░░░ t know about unanimously ░░░░░░░░ certainly he is the ░░░░░░░░ elect of the United ░░░░░░░░ and he won the ░░░░░░░░ College SPICER It s ░░░░░░░░ pretty high electoral votes ░░░░░░░░ BLITZER Yes yes And ░░░░░░░░ s all that matters.”
