Summary
Donald Trump addressed the nation from the Oval Office on Tuesday night and said nothing new. It was full of the usual lies that he usually spews. He continues to try and whip up hate against immigrants, but of course... He fundraised off of the speech after.
Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer gave a rebuttal that was also lackluster. Let's not forget: The government is still shut down and federal workers are not being paid. Disgraceful.
We talk to Rebekah Entralgo from ThinkProgress, Rep Dan Kildee (D-MI), and Adam Wollner from McClatchy!
