MITCHELL: “Good day, everyone. I’m Andrea Mitchell live in New York following the ripple effects from the State of the Union speech where the president directed his pent up frustration about a Republican campaign that he’s not fully addressed on such a grand scale.”

OBAMA: “We need to reject any politics, any politics that targets people because of race or religion. (Applause) When politicians insult Muslims whether abroad or our fellow citizens, when a mosque is vandalized, or a kid is called names, it doesn’t make us safer. That’s not telling it like it is. It’s just wrong. It diminishing us in the eyes of the world. It makes it harder to achieve our goals. It betrays who we are as a country. (Applause) ”
