Do you think this was just more a style issue,

as it relates?

I mean one of the things I said on "The 700 Club" this morning

was like, look, you probably should have had separate press

conferences, right?

I mean, you have the media criticism,

and then you have the KKK criticism,

and then there's the racism, both sides,

real longer narrative.

It just seems like he kind of put it all out there together

in one rambling press conference and wild ride,

and it kind of got--

it didn't quite have the effect maybe

he intended A lot of people are blaming the president on this.

Are you therefore not blaming him for that?

No.

I'm not blaming him for that.

There is an effort to do whatever

is necessary to take this president down.

And they have painted, the media has painted,

the liberals have painted a false narrative

that the president is a racist.

And any time he tries to break out of that box,

liberals aren't going to allow him to do it.

And so I think the reason the president was elected was

he was very honest in what he said.

He refused to be politically correct.

I think he's right to denounce racism in all its forms.

I know the president.

You know the president.

There is not a racist bone in his body.
