Monday, July 15, 2019: President Trump: My Tweets Were Not Racist

President Trump speaks for the first time since he launched a racist twitter attack on four congresswomen. Instead of debating their liberal policy ideas, the president says these women of color should go home. Three of the four were born in America.

More Republicans are condemning the president's reprehensible words, and as the president yet again flexes his race-baiting instincts -- several conservative voices lament he is giving Democrats a political gift.

And Joe Biden draws a dividing line in the Democratic race for president. He says improving Obamacare must be the party's health care north star -- not the more liberal Medicare for All.
