agree with or really find acceptable is something that I pushed Alyssa Slotkin on when we had her on last year to talk about this as well.

I'll get into some of the things she's said and done that there has not been an explanation for.

Or do you still hold these incredibly bigoted Islamophobic views that you espoused in the past?
