On the heels of rising tensions in the country for the past few weeks, The Atlantic magazine published an article that cites multiple unnamed sources claiming President Trump had made comments privately disparaging service members of the U.S. military. President Trump and the White House have denied these claims in a press conference, calling the story a hoax. Director of the Fox News Decision Desk Arnon Mishkin joins Jacqui Heinrich on the FOX News Rundown to discuss the impact this story may have on voters and how these past few turbulent weeks may set the stage for law and order and urban unrest to become major voting issues in November.
