John Heilemann: Trump Denigrated the U.S. During a Funeral Service with His Tweets

‘That’s the America that the president of the United States denigrated Saturday during a funeral service with his tweets, many of which were outright lies’

EXCERPT:

HEILEMANN: "You know, the larger picture, Joe, I think is what you began with. It is indeed a picture. That picture of eight people three Bushes, two Clintons, two Obamas and Melania Trump. And it’s a reminder of who we used to be as a government and as people who participated in politics, from citizens on up to candidates. We ought to frame that picture in our minds that that’s the America that we had.”
SCARBOROUGH: “Yep."
HEILEMANN: “That’s the America that we can get back. And that’s the America that the president of the United States denigrated Saturday during a funeral service with his tweets, many of which were outright lies."
