puerto rico is just the most recent example. we all know how the president attacks the robert mueller probe as an illegal witch hunt. even just an hour ago, even in the wake of paul manafort's guilty plea. the evidence this is a legal probe is overwhelming but the conspiracy theory that it's a witch hunt makes the president feel good. and that's not the only one. let's go through the list. the idea of a deep state. that's a conspiracy theory. so is the idea that the fake news colludes and works together to take him down. all of these are really sinister conspiracy theories. of course, the one that always stands out is the illegal voting theory. the idea that millions of people voted illegally in 2016, robbing trump of the popular vote. this is actually one of the only common threads of the trump presidency. his embrace of conspiracy theories. and i understand, it can feel good to believe in some fantasy to believe that there are external forces that are out to get you, rather than facing reality. but this is reliable sources so

of course, the other big headline is the fallout over the paul manafort plea deal. president trump for the second time in as many days attacking the special counsel in a tweet earlier saying, the illegal mueller witch hunt continues in search of a crime. there was never collusion with russia, except by the clinton campaign, so the 17 angry democrats are looking at anything they can find. very unfair and bad for the country. also not allowed under the law. one of the president's former white house officials today downplaying the significance of the plea deal as the top democrat on the house intel committee said this is as clear a warning as mueller could send. >> i think that paul was brought in at the time to help with the convention and he did a good job with that. >> then he ran the campaign after the convention. >> he was campaign manager, you're right. i think kellyanne was cam ppaig manager and did a phenomenal job, too. it's hard to say he didn't have a role in the campaign. at the same time, it seems that all the allegations predate his involvement in the cam

house speaker paul ryan and ron desantis countered his claims. so why is the president talking about this? i think it's a no-win situation. even if the death toll is inflated, god forbid it would be awful if they did that. still a large loss of life. there is no win here. >> this is why there are times when trump could have been more careful in his phrasing. but that's not the president we elected. this is one of those things where you have to let it ride out. i think people like me who are trump supporters are like, i wish you didn't tweet that. then the overreaction is so much, we think, we don't care. kennedy: that's what's so exhausting and distracting. we have a potentially deadly storm hovering off the coast of the carolinas. here the president could be more empathetic and instructive. >> i think two things can be true at the same time. you can think trump's response toward the claims are wrong, and you can also believe the democrats with the whole tragedy of puerto rico that they want to use it against the president. they do want it to be

these are steps that paul ryan and mitch mcconnell could take right now today. finally, let me say this but we are all praying for those in the path of florence. and we pray the administration has learned from their mistakes and their response in the carolinas will be better. but president trump's tweet do not inspire confidence. just imagine, just by the mentioning that there is this storm forming in the atlantic ocean, people in puerto rico rushed to every store. all those shelves are empty. this has taken an emotional toll on the people of puerto rico. the suicide rate continues to climb, and this is the response that we get from our president? we are better than this. thank you. rep. pelosi: thank you, ranking member velazquez. it's important to note that we planned this meeting with the press long before the president made his statement. we went to puerto rico. we stayed in touch with each other over the month of august to be up-to-date. we met last week as the delegation to talk about additional steps we would take whether it was with fema, whether small b

that is what many say he failed to do in puerto rico. and so we will see the contrast in how he performs that role in the carolinas. there's also, of course, the looming issue of paul manafort's plea deal, and we have seen this president, in times of crisis, in times where robert mueller's investigation has come closer to him, really lash out at the next opportunity he has to speak extemporaneously. so i would be watching for those two things. does he do the type of sympathy, consoling that was absent when we talk about what happened in puerto rico because i do think that's a good point. this plays into a president that has not really shown that same level of care and same level of consoling and sympathy for people who are not his base, not the group of people who think support him. so do the carolinians get a president that the puerto ricans didn't? do we get that paul manafort related tirade? that's what we're going to be watching i think. >> we've seen the president at a loss for words. you look at that tweet tonight that he sent abou
