is a dangerous cancer on the body politic. if you can convince americans that they cannot trust their own elections and any time they lose it is somehow illegitimate, than what is left but violence to determine who should govern. this brings us to the focus of today's hearing. when state elections officials refused to stop the count, donald trump and his campaign tried to put pressure on them. state executive officials refused to certify him the winner of states he lost, he applied more pressure. when state legislators refused to go back into session and appoint trump electors, he furthered the pressure prayed anyone who got in the way -- was a subject of a dangerous and escalating campaign of pressure. this pressure campaign brought angry phone calls and texts, armed protests, intimidation and

all too often threats of violence and death. state legislators were singled out. so too were statewide elections officials. even local elections workers diligently doing their jobs were accused of being criminals and had their lives turned upside down. as we will show, president supporters heard the former president's claims of fraud and the false allegations he made against state and local officials as a call to action. >> stop the steal. you are a threat to democracy. you are a threat to free and honest elections. >> you're a tyrant, you are a

felon and you must turn yourself into the authorities immediately. >> 45 minutes later we started to hear the noises outside my home and my stomach sunk and i thought it's me. and then it's just we don't know what's can happen. the uncertainty of that was what -- was the fear. are they coming. are they going to attack my house. i'm in here with my kids trying to put them to bed. that was the scariest moment, just not knowing what was going to happen. host: here on washington journal this morning asking you about the testimony yesterday of the pressure put on state officials about the electoral count. 202-748-8001 is the line for republicans. 202-748-8000 free democrats. -- for -- for democrats. a couple comments on twitter.

merrick garland must prosecute him. d.c. says threats are just one tool and trumps filthy tool bag. his minions will imitate them because they don't know any better. the bulldog says there will be no criminal charges filed against trump. january 6 earrings are simply an anti-trump 2024 campaign paid for by the taxpayers. capitalizing the hearing yesterday on what happened this is the wall street journal headline. state officials tell of intense pressure after -- to alter vote results. it's got a call spread we hear from sandy on the democrats line in maryland. caller: i wanted to say you all do a great job. the cancer pervades the congress and i hate to say it, the republican congress. they are so afraid of this man, they have absolutely no backbone. no leadership whatsoever and the

leaders they have lie when confronted with the lies, they still live paid it is unbelievable. so until they are weeded out, and i mean really weeded out, it's can get worse and worse. he has ruined america and those republicans help them tremendously. all they are, vindictive and they are all voting for the ones who denied the election. it's unbelievable. just unbelievable. it is shameful and we look like a fifth world country. host: to massachusetts, bill is on the republican line. caller: how you doing. i've got three comments. number one, when is the investigation going to take place on what the democrats did on january 6.
