MSNBC Host: Yes, Obama’s ‘Swagger’ Is Back, But He’s Too Mean to Trans Hecklers

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

MALBER: "To keep this great week going, we are joined by "New York Times" Josh Barro, Columbia professor, Dorian Warren and Jess is back with us. Dorian, does he have his swagger back." 
WARREN: "He definitely has his swagger back. You could argue that was one of the best weeks of his presidency of the two terms. And for all those who kept saying he was a lame duck president I think that was proven wrong last week. Especially after the eulogy in Charleston. People are saying he's the console NER chief. That was reverend Obama. I think he placed the nation perhaps on a path of racial healing. This is one thing I want to say: I know the haters on Twitter are going to come after me about. At the pride service at the White House there was a amazing -- who interrupted the president. And it was unfortunate not only how she was treated not only by her but all the people in the room. And you could also count that as a success. Because ICE released new guidelines around how to treat undocumented trans folks in detention centers." 
MELBER: "What would you have wanted him to do?" 
WARREN: "Acknowledge her, acknowledge the issue. He could have said hey we're working on it and we're going to release some guidelines really soon which evidently the ICE did yesterday." 
BARRO: "To be fair I was in the room when that happened and from at least where I was in the room it was unintelligible what she was saying. I don't know whether the president was better able to hear her. It's entirely possible he didn't even know what she was complaining about at the time."
