Judith Miller: Trump’s Tougher on Fake News than He Is on Real Bigotry

RUSH TRANSCRIPT Eric President ░░░░░░░░ is still taking heat ░░░░░░░░ Republicans as well as ░░░░░░░░ as is expected after ░░░░░░░░ the violence in Charlottesville ░░░░░░░░ but you know the ░░░░░░░░ continues for failing to ░░░░░░░░ blame and say the ░░░░░░░░ white supremacy say critics ░░░░░░░░ saying that the threat ░░░░░░░░ from many sides as ░░░░░░░░ called it Senator Rubio ░░░░░░░░ this saying quote very ░░░░░░░░ for the nation to ░░░░░░░░ POTUS to describe events ░░░░░░░░ Charlottesville for what they ░░░░░░░░ a terror attack by ░░░░░░░░ supremacists Senator hatch writing ░░░░░░░░ should call evil by ░░░░░░░░ name My brother didn ░░░░░░░░ give his life fighting ░░░░░░░░ for Nazi ideas to ░░░░░░░░ unchallenged here at home ░░░░░░░░ they unchallenged Judy millered ░░░░░░░░ Judy Miller a Fox ░░░░░░░░ contributor is joining us ░░░░░░░░ The president did condemn ░░░░░░░░ violence He said there ░░░░░░░░ no place for this ░░░░░░░░ of hatred in America ░░░░░░░░ some critics and some ░░░░░░░░ saying it wasn t ░░░░░░░░ Well I think those ░░░░░░░░ are right and they ░░░░░░░░ been quiet a lot ░░░░░░░░ them until now But ░░░░░░░░ was an instance in ░░░░░░░░ many Americans saw the ░░░░░░░░ of this young man ░░░░░░░░ into a group of ░░░░░░░░ racism protesters and look ░░░░░░░░ you and I cover ░░░░░░░░ in the Middle East ░░░░░░░░ m telling you this ░░░░░░░░ domestic terrorism It was ░░░░░░░░ act aimed at killing ░░░░░░░░ in intimidation for political ░░░░░░░░ That s what terrorism ░░░░░░░░ And for Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ spent much of the ░░░░░░░░ lambasting President Obama and ░░░░░░░░ Clinton for not calling ░░░░░░░░ Islamic terror by its ░░░░░░░░ name for him not ░░░░░░░░ call this what it ░░░░░░░░ was a great disappointment ░░░░░░░░ great great terrible missed ░░░░░░░░ That s the kindest ░░░░░░░░ I heard and that ░░░░░░░░ from Lindsay Graham So ░░░░░░░░ don t think the ░░░░░░░░ did enough Eric But ░░░░░░░░ would say he didn ░░░░░░░░ have all the facts ░░░░░░░░ law enforcement has not ░░░░░░░░ out the details in ░░░░░░░░ with the suspect although ░░░░░░░░ have heard through the ░░░░░░░░ reports that he supposedly ░░░░░░░░ infatuated with Hitler and ░░░░░░░░ with the Nazis and ░░░░░░░░ you know part of ░░░░░░░░ rally the white nationalist ░░░░░░░░ Well as it s ░░░░░░░░ said who are you ░░░░░░░░ to believe me or ░░░░░░░░ lying eyes We all ░░░░░░░░ that video It was ░░░░░░░░ clear very early on ░░░░░░░░ was going on here ░░░░░░░░ president at the very ░░░░░░░░ missed an opportunity But ░░░░░░░░ think it became very ░░░░░░░░ that there are two ░░░░░░░░ that President Trump simply ░░░░░░░░ t want to criticize ░░░░░░░░ doesn t want to ░░░░░░░░ by he doesn t ░░░░░░░░ to criticize the people ░░░░░░░░ his base who happen ░░░░░░░░ share those ideas And ░░░░░░░░ he doesn t want ░░░░░░░░ criticize Vladimir Putin of ░░░░░░░░ Those are the two ░░░░░░░░ and people he simply ░░░░░░░░ t go near It ░░░░░░░░ amazing to me that ░░░░░░░░ president was actually tougher ░░░░░░░░ what he calls fake ░░░░░░░░ than he was on ░░░░░░░░ bigotry in this country ░░░░░░░░ it is a terrible ░░░░░░░░ thing Eric the White ░░░░░░░░ I guess 36 hours ░░░░░░░░ did clarify some of ░░░░░░░░ Here s a statement ░░░░░░░░ gave us saying the ░░░░░░░░ said very strongly in ░░░░░░░░ statement yesterday that he ░░░░░░░░ all forms of violence ░░░░░░░░ and hatred and of ░░░░░░░░ that includes here s ░░░░░░░░ word white supremacists KKK ░░░░░░░░ Nazi and all extremist ░░░░░░░░ He called for national ░░░░░░░░ in bringing all Americans ░░░░░░░░ and Ivanka has tweeted ░░░░░░░░ should be no place ░░░░░░░░ society for racism white ░░░░░░░░ and neo Nazis We ░░░░░░░░ come together as Americans ░░░░░░░░ be country united The ░░░░░░░░ counselor said the president ░░░░░░░░ t want to dignify ░░░░░░░░ groups by saying them ░░░░░░░░ the statement yesterday Do ░░░░░░░░ buy that No I ░░░░░░░░ t And Ivanka Trump ░░░░░░░░ last time I checked ░░░░░░░░ may be a very ░░░░░░░░ young woman but she ░░░░░░░░ not the president of ░░░░░░░░ United States Nor is ░░░░░░░░ spokesman who echoed those ░░░░░░░░ this morning He had ░░░░░░░░ opportunity to come out ░░░░░░░░ condemn what must be ░░░░░░░░ and he chose not ░░░░░░░░ do it And I ░░░░░░░░ he did that for ░░░░░░░░ political reasons And that ░░░░░░░░ me and more than ░░░░░░░░ it disappointed his fellow ░░░░░░░░ who have gotten increasingly ░░░░░░░░ I think about Mr ░░░░░░░░ about his reckless rhetoric ░░░░░░░░ respect to North Korea ░░░░░░░░ have been looking for ░░░░░░░░ excuse a justification for ░░░░░░░░ himself themselves from their ░░░░░░░░ and I think they ░░░░░░░░ it in what Donald ░░░░░░░░ did not say yesterday ░░░░░░░░ though his spokesman and ░░░░░░░░ daughter said it today ░░░░░░░░ Newt Gingrich earlier this ░░░░░░░░ said he does expect ░░░░░░░░ stronger statement from the ░░░░░░░░ himself over the next ░░░░░░░░ you know or so ░░░░░░░░ in your view should ░░░░░░░░ say What do you ░░░░░░░░ I would welcome him ░░░░░░░░ say just what his ░░░░░░░░ said and just what ░░░░░░░░ White House spokesman said ░░░░░░░░ it has to come ░░░░░░░░ him because so many ░░░░░░░░ in this country who ░░░░░░░░ for him look up ░░░░░░░░ him as president They ░░░░░░░░ looking for a signal ░░░░░░░░ the alt right groups ░░░░░░░░ when the president did ░░░░░░░░ specifically condemn what happened ░░░░░░░░ terrorism and white supremacy ░░░░░░░░ he failed to do ░░░░░░░░ they started immediately tweeting ░░░░░░░░ reacting on social media ░░░░░░░░ you see he s ░░░░░░░░ us a signal This ░░░░░░░░ okay They have to ░░░░░░░░ this is not okay ░░░░░░░░ in America Republicans think ░░░░░░░░ Democrats think that And ░░░░░░░░ someone who covers terrorism ░░░░░░░░ can tell you this ░░░░░░░░ just as reprehensible as ░░░░░░░░ I saw in nice ░░░░░░░░ France where that truck ░░░░░░░░ down a bunch of ░░░░░░░░ We can t have ░░░░░░░░ in this country And ░░░░░░░░ president it s up ░░░░░░░░ him to condemn it ░░░░░░░░ Eric Finally you obviously ░░░░░░░░ troubled and clearly scared ░░░░░░░░ mean concerned potentially about ░░░░░░░░ result of that type ░░░░░░░░ silence Yes I am ░░░░░░░░ I know as someone ░░░░░░░░ has spent a long ░░░░░░░░ looking at terrorist incidents ░░░░░░░░ this country that the ░░░░░░░░ right is far more ░░░░░░░░ prone than the left ░░░░░░░░ groups that the right ░░░░░░░░ complains about Does that ░░░░░░░░ the anti even the ░░░░░░░░ people There s a ░░░░░░░░ with a guy supposedly ░░░░░░░░ a hairspray with fire ░░░░░░░░ critics say I m ░░░░░░░░ saying they are not ░░░░░░░░ prone that some of ░░░░░░░░ are not but in ░░░░░░░░ of the record there ░░░░░░░░ simply no comparison between ░░░░░░░░ wing violence in this ░░░░░░░░ and Black Lives Matter ░░░░░░░░ s simply not not ░░░░░░░░ anyway Maybe things could ░░░░░░░░ People could get more ░░░░░░░░ and violent but if ░░░░░░░░ talk to terrorism experts ░░░░░░░░ will tell you the ░░░░░░░░ the people who blow ░░░░░░░░ mosques who run their ░░░░░░░░ into protesters this is ░░░░░░░░ a right wing phenomenon ░░░░░░░░ m not apologizing for ░░░░░░░░ left Not at all ░░░░░░░░ want to call radical ░░░░░░░░ terror radical Islamic terror ░░░░░░░░ believe calling these things ░░░░░░░░ they are and I ░░░░░░░░ President Trump should have ░░░░░░░░ that and I hope ░░░░░░░░ will We will see ░░░░░░░░ he does There was ░░░░░░░░ protester as I recall ░░░░░░░░ during one of the ░░░░░░░░ Lives Matter protests in ░░░░░░░░ several months ago so ░░░░░░░░ tragically there are these ░░░░░░░░ in our country We ░░░░░░░░ see what the president ░░░░░░░░ to say probably more ░░░░░░░░ that tomorrow Judy Miller ░░░░░░░░ always, thank you.
