Editing to link to an article about MSNBC's Ali Velshi reacting to what Trump said in that exchange; video clip with this article too:

MSNBC host Ali Velshi said President Donald Trumps recent comments questioning the citizenship of minority progressive congresswoman crossed into new racist territory for his administration, in which he is owning the support of open racists.
Velshi made the comments on Monday while co-hosting with Stephanie Ruhle, who called Trumps attacks on the women stunning, given that they havent even been in Congress for more than a year yet, and noted that just four out of 280 Republican lawmakers have condemned the presidents racist remarks so far.
In covering all of this the way we have covered the last two and a half years, this actually feels different to me. this feels like the president is really owning the idea that hes saying things that are attracted to white nationalists and racists, Velshi said.
