Former DNC Chair Donna Brazile, former GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry, SCOTUSblog editor Sarah Isgur, and former NJ Gov. Chris Christie join ABC’s Jon Karl for ‘This Week’ roundtable, where they discuss the latest Trump social media controversy.

DONNA BRAZILE, FORMER DNC CHAIR: Well, first of all, I feel more sorrow than rage. Sorrow because the president of the United States clearly understands that this type of — I don’t know what he wants to call it. It is just outrageous. It’s uncalled for. We spent 250 years of slavery, 100 years of Jim Crow before we elected our first Black president. Barack Obama remains one of the most popular living presidents, and his Gallup numbers are between 59 and 63. The president, this was a deliberate act — a deliberate act, I believe that the White House put this out. And for — for whatever reason, the president still believes that he can divide us and detract us. He’s not going to be able to destroy us. You know why? Because this country was founded on principles that people believe in, that we still want to accept, and we’re not going to let anyone take us back. And I — I’m sorry that the president of the United States should know better, but unfortunately, he’s not going to improve. KARL: And, Chris, he took it down and they said that it was a staffer that did it. By the way, it was 11:30 at night or whatever when it was posted. And there’s — and there’s certainly no apology. I mean, what — and of course, the press secretary condemned the outrage before they condemned — hours before they took the video down. CHRIS CHRISTIE, (R) FORMER NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR: You know, Jon, with this one, I think Donna has said everything that needs to be said about the video itself. I think it’s a bigger issue. You know, I talk to friends of mine in my party who will say to me all the time, look, he’s not a good guy. He’s kind of crazy, but I like the issues. Here’s the thing — what they’re discovering now is character is the most important issue. And what the posting of that video shows is his absolute lack of character. And now what we’re seeing is when you don’t have character, you can’t get the issues done either, because all these acts of lack of character by Donald Trump are so distracting from issues like the economy, which some people care about, that he’s now underwater on the economy. His lack of character allows him to do the things that ICE is doing that is so outraging the country. And now, he’s 20 points underwater on immigration which has been a winning issue for Republicans for almost two decades. So, for all my friends out there who say, Yeah, no, I know the character is awful, but I care about the issues, he — you not only now supporting someone with no character, but his lack of character leads to us not being able to accomplish the issues that we care about either.
