Donald Trump’s “small potatoes” comment about the war with Iran has sparked another media firestorm — but is the outrage actually consistent with what he was saying?

Erin breaks down the exchange, the reaction to Trump’s comments about American casualties, and why she believes focusing on two words ignores the broader point he was making about the scale of the conflict, the U.S. military and the sacrifice of American service members.

Plus, Erin looks at New Hampshire Democratic Senate candidate Karishma Manzur and her comments about Israel, asks whether candidates like Manzur and Michigan’s Abdul El-Sayed are really political exceptions anymore, and reacts to some extraordinary moments coming out of Europe.

George Clooney has a warning about wealthy people encouraging division — which gives Erin a few questions of her own.

And finally, a beautiful moment at Providence College, where students came together to surprise a beloved security guard with the chance to return home and see his family.
