President Trump won’t back down from his claim that Hurricane Dorian was going to hit Alabama. Washington Post Political Reporter Eugene Scott joins Stephanie Ruhle to discuss how this isn’t the first time the president has doubled down on a misstatement instead of just correcting himself.

Why Is President Donald Trump Still Fixated On Alabama? | Velshi & Ruhle | MSNBC
Maybe he wanted to give Alabama some Hurricane relief money.
@Larry Sherk Bruh they could have stayed in their own country lmao.
Larry Sherk the child separation started under Obama. It actual originated because libs were complains you can’t have kids in the same cells as rapists and gang members.
Larry Sherk I love how you guys try to justify breaking our laws with the scape goat of “but their children” as if it’s our fault.
I get the desperation to cross the border. I get from a Mexican perspective.. and Honduran, Guatemalan, Venezuelan, Brazilian, Cuban, African, Middle eastern.
There are WAY too many people in this world that would be better off in a 1st world country; this isn’t unknown. It’s just not possible to support all these people… or the children they also try to bring in ILLEGALLY.
Shame on you for not traveling down to Mexico and adopting children yourself
A March tornado in Alabama caused 23 fatalities. Why not help more?
What happens when the weather updates 29 times and you are out golfing.
LOL
Gary Pastorchik Fox on the brain. We all have lost friends and family members to the Fox cult of ignorance
@Fish Sandwich He should be at the Whitehouse figuring out how he can help these people out and no….paper towels are not going to help!
Hello. Nice comment if you care for a chat +17248354709
Because he is distracting the media!
Jeremy Toh
– you give tRump credit for a level of intelligence that he does not have. This is not grand scheme to distract us from anything. He never hides his devious acts because he knows that the Senate will do nothing, no matter what he does. You are simply looking at an egomaniac who can not admit when he is wrong, even over the most trivial issue.
@Joseph Stevens No man. Trump is only in it for himself. That’s why this self-serving lie with the Sharpie is bad. He’s doing nothing to help the victims of the storm, just trying pathetically to save face. And Trump is the head of the Government. Blame government, blame Trump.
media doesn’t need any help getting distracted. Once Trump leaves office, CNN won’t have anything to mesmerize their minuscule audiences any longer, and it’s adios!
@Joseph Stevens that he went golfing and knows nothing about the hurricane
@felix u – distracted?? It is not a distraction when a president is in mental meltdown.
CNN was around long before that RACIST tRump and will be around long after that pedophile tRump is gone.
Does it hurt your feelings when CNN makes fun of your glorious leader’s stupidity?
POOR SNOWFLAKE
What are we being distracted from now!
felix u except the Alabama thing isn’t true
@felix u by which you mean proven campaign finance fraud and benefit from foreign election interference. No idea why that’s only a concern of Democrats.
@CorndogMaker Facts are the rainforest burns every year. They report it like its just this year. Its actually been way worse years ago.
Check out your facts!
@Diana Simard
This is why they need more reporting on this.
The rainforest now has more fires this year than ever, with more than 74,000 reported. It’s an 84 percent increase. It’s gone up so much that the rain forest is now a carbon producer instead of a carbon sink. For the first time, it too is a polluter just like a city. And this time, Brazils president Bolsonaro isn’t accepting any aide to put out fires because he wants them to burn for the farm land. Even the measly 22 million given by other concerned countries, he won’t take. The fires aren’t occurring naturally, they are caused by people clear cutting and unregulated. Bolsonaro says others trying to help, and those worldwide protesting the destruction (also not reported on) are part of an imperialist plot to take control of Brazils resources.
But we need still more reporting on dumb things Trump does daily.
i remember when people thought wearing tan suits was the worse thing ever.
Hmm ? Really? Because I remember people thinking that allowing China commandeer the South China Sea and selling weapons to drug cartels and then losing track of the weapons was the worst thing ever
@tj ti didn’t that make Ronald Reagan a hero?
I remember when Marxism was considered to be a bad thing.
Jonathan Hiatt no that was Obama not Reagan. I guess you’re clearly ignorant 🤦♂️
Racism never died in the hart of a liberal.
Everyone has their own rules in life. One of my BIG personal rules is to never trust a person that can’t make fun of themselves or admit they were wrong… Those people will always cause trouble with their ego
I’ll admit that no one likes to be wrong including me. But trump just goes overboard because he’s used to getting what he wants.
pot…kettle…… wrong on “Russian collusion” (can’t admit).
you mean like the MSM for the past 2 years on russia collusion
@Colty77 – sorry but you need to keep up with the news. Remember when tRump Jr. released a bunch of emails in 2017? Those were emails he wrote in 2016 and were addressed to his father. In those emails he stated that he was going to meet with a Russian agent to get “dirt” on Hillary. Those emails prove COLLUSION but there is no point in prosecuting Jr. at this point because daddy would just pardon him. The prosecutors have stated that they will wait until daddy is out of the WH before they indict Jr. At that point Jr. will roll on his daddy and both will be in prison.
But then, tRump is still facing indictments for TEN ATTEMPTS TO OBSTRUCT JUSTICE once he leaves office.
Wow, from crayons to a sharpie in only 2 1/2 years.
His signature is still in big crayon and low IQ Donald likes to show it off like it’s artwork
Sorry, all the crayons went up his nose. But he loves sniffing them sharpies.
Laughinggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
yeah, just smart enough to defeat Hillary
@felix u Putin won it for him
More dislikes then Likes why is that? Oh wait it’s MSNBC
@Ralph Calhoun , Lies are like PIES. If MSNBC told it, ITS A LIE. But you LEFTIES, NEED TO EAT, SO BE IT….
@Tessmage Tessera Imagine being so woke and having TDS that you are actually upset that Trump said there was a possibility of the storm hitting Alabama.
Ooooof
@marshall branin It’s news because Trump won’t let it go. When he stops tweeting about it, they’ll stop reporting it. So go argue with Trump… he’s the one who is keeping this story alive.
Russian troll farm, like the one you work for.
What the hay kind of shirt is that nerd wearing in the background? Zebra? Tapir? Raccoon? Lemur? Tiger?
I remember when the national debt was something America cared about
Action Jackson They only cared about it when President BLACKENSTEIN was in office.
Hey let talk on WhatsApp +17248354709
Seems like politicians are stuck between promises and reality. Too bad people do not understand that most politicians have more ego than solutions.
K B -that sounded racist..it’s like calling Donald Trump a white fat pig…
Hey, MSNBC, Storm missed FLORIDA. You QUOTED that TRUMP WAS TRAUMATISED over his Golf course. Now we NOW, know, DIVERTED. Now was this NATURAL or “HEAVENLY INTERVENTION”. HAHAHAHAHA…..
Why are these hacks who work at these propaganda outlets so fixated on Mr. Trump? Truly enemies of The United States.
He just wanted the thing to look like Stormy’s tℹts.
Look at all these NPCs saying “why is msnbc still fixated on” which reactionary did you get that hot take from.
We’re talking about this rather than the fact that Trump diverted FEMA funds meant to prepare for emergencies like this in order to build his wall.
Look at all these NPCs chanting “fake news”
President Trump is dangerous to the left-wing media and we love him 2020 b******
I am in Alabama where is the hurricane Fake News Author Trump talked about? Trump creates the most of Fake News himself!
Well…at least he knows it’s a state….right?
Trump iam going war. Do you need me if no. Send transportation
Why do people ruin their good names to cover up Trump’s crimes, and incompetence? That is the supreme mystery..
