marjorie taylor greene has been dangerous. has called for violent -- direct violence on members of congress. she has harassed school shooting victims. she has promoted conspiracy theories. that is very different than free speech or even a difference of opinion. and even today she is fund-raising off of her efforts. not denouncing them. not walking them back. but radicalizing and mobilizing her base and raising money off of it. every republican, every democrat, should be denouncing that. >> representative hayes, i appreciate your time. we're all thinking about you and every member of your community. thank you so much. >> thanks so much. good night. >> good night. >>> new conspiracy charges against some proud boys who stormed the capitol. the details of their plans and what they allegedly did once inside the building. that's next. >>> at least 11 people with connections to the far-right proud boys now facing charges in connection with the inrecoinsurrection at the capitol. tonight two top members of the group facing e ie ie ing

the trump party is marjorie taylor greene and vice versa. wolf, one of the things that needs to be said about marjorie taylor greene is how she did not sound apologetic at all today. she was very trumpian in the way she was talking about all of this. you know, portraying herself as the victim, as if she is the one who has been unfairly treated in all this. never mind the fact, wolf, if you go through her social media posts and i was looking at what she's posted on instagram. a lot of that has not been scrubbed. a lot of these offensive comments that she's made, these conspiratorial comments, are still there in her social media accounts. and so, you know, i think that she's basically put the democrats in a position where some accountability has to be had. i mean, obviously, the republican party is not going to clean its own house here when it comes to dealing with marjorie taylor greene, and the democrats have to do something. wolf, you and i both know, i have seen you posting about this. it has concerned me a great deal as well. when you dri

marjorie taylor greene has not apologized. marjorie taylor greene endorsed executing democrats.ting them. none of the democrats ever said anything remotely like that. so what happened to judging people on their own merits? huh? what about -- stop the what-about-ism. when i mentioned to chris moments ago about there are firebrands in both parties, no one is talking about stripping mo brooks of his committees or matt gaetz. why do you bring up maxine waters? it is because you don't want to focus on your own mess. you don't want to clean up your own house, literally. an existential crisis of your own making. this what-about-ism is just a lie. it is not deserving of the american people's attention. the american people deserve better right now. we are in the middle of a pandemic. people are dying. the economy is in the tank. but what-about-ism, is that really what you want to do? it is dangerous. it was just one month ago a mob, incited by the former president's lies, attacked the capitol. this is a time when the q-trumplican party needs to stand up for the truth. what they don't rep

look, marjorie taylor greene says she has spoken to president trump. we don't know that from his folks but it would certainly be in keeping he's been talking her up privately to a bunch of people. it would be in keeping with how he has remade this party in his image. and what i'm struck by over and over, anderson, watching this, if kevin mccarthy wanted to at this point, there is not a magic wand he can wave to marginalize marjorie taylor greene. she has support of other republicans in the caucus and this is a caucus that has been reshaped by trumpism, as to sort of conservatism as it's been traditionally practiced. that makes donald trump very happy. the longer he can keep his grip on the party, i think the liz cheney vote will tell us a fair amount but the longer that donald trump can keep his grip on republicans, the longer he remains a factor and that's always what he wants. >> do we know to what degree, maggie, the former president is remaining a factor? has he been in touch with mccarthy today? does donnie junior call him up? do we know. >> there

caller: yeah, marjorie taylor greene.e will see where they really stand on marjorie taylor greene today. that is -- i am guessing -- host: go ahead, finish your thought. caller: i'm guessing they are not going to be so brave to condemn her today, and some of the stuff other people are saying, some of my thunder. -- stealing some of my thunder. host: that happens on a: show. liz cheney, one of the republicans in health -- in the house conference, looking to ouster from her leadership position was former congressman matt gaetz, and it was last week that he traveled up to liz cheney's state of wyoming to call for her, to try to rally supporters to oust her from her leadership post. this was matt gaetz from last week. [video clip] >> this is my first time in wyoming, and i feel like i already know the place a lot better than your misguided representative. [cheers and applause] my grandfather was a small town mayor and not too distant north dakota. he passed before his time but not for passing into legend, and he passed along

but marjory taylor greene, a conspiracy theorist, gets a free pass.and kirsten powers are with me. this is where we are. good evening to the both of you. david, you, first. >> yes, sir. >> the republican party had a chance, really had a chance for a clean break with trump. he incited the deadly insurrection. instead, they are continuing to plunge down this rabbit hole. where does this lead them? >> to an unraveling of the republican party and possibly the replacement by another party down the road. we're not there yet but trump is gone but trumpism remains live and well. it's like a toxic virus that's taken over the party. it is extremely dangerous for the country that the republicans keep stirring this pot, keep continuing arguing that biden was fraudulently elected, make it more difficult to govern. one of the reasons that she's gotten away with this so far is that people are scared of her on capitol hill. it's the most -- it's just -- it's unbelievable to me. i got to get people like jim baker and george schultz and people who have locked the -- wa

marjorie taylor greene, a former qanon devotee.ed conspiracy theories about school shootings, 9/and yet only 11 republicans joined democrats. joining me is john crow and elizabeth newman, former assistant homeland security secretary. i want to get your thoughts, congressman crow, to the fact that only 11 republicans thought marjorie taylor greene should be stripped of her assignment including the education committee. >> there should have been more. it should have been a unanimous vote. it says a lot about where we are in the nation that only 11 folks would come across to do that. it's disappointing to say the least. that's not the way to capture it but we have to continue to press. i am reminded about something president biden said in his inauguration address. the story of our country is not overwhelming majorities coming together, he talked about enough of them. we make progress and stand up against injustice and stand up against violence, enough of us can step forward to move things together. i'm drawing inspiration and hope. >>

and it didn't start with marjorie taylor greene. this is what happens when you knuckle under to a president, to anyone really, who defends white supremacists and neo nazis in charlottesville. >> you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. you had people in that group -- excuse me. excuse me. i saw the same pictures as you did. >> oh, and for the never said the people, he said it. it is on tape, okay? a president who ran on the racist birther lie that the former president barack obama was not born in this country, a president who incited insurrection at the u.s. capitol. >> we fight like hell. and if you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a country anymore. you'll never take back our country with weakness. you have to show strength. and you have to be strong. >> so, it all came home to roost on january 6th. and that's the truth. that's when that crowd attacked the seat of our government, smashing, looting, threatening the lives of lawmakers. look at that. now the former president, days away from his sec

some people stood up when marjorie taylor greene spoke.ed. >> you really had a terrific vote tonight. we're not going to be divided. >> democrats are barreling ahead with biden's big proposal. >> i'm not going to start my administration by breaking a promise to the american people. >> some of the variants may lead to increased mortality, and the jury is still out how these vaccines are going to work against these variants. >> this is "new day" with alisyn camerota and john berman. >> welcome to our viewers in the united states and all around the world. this is "new day." a moment of revelation for the republican party overnight. house leadership, republican leadership, taking no action against marjorie taylor greene. the qanon-supporting house republican who endorsed the execution of democratic leaders, harassed school shooting victims, called mass shootings a hoax and trafficked in anti-semitic propaganda about jewish space lasers. she keeps her committee assignments and even receives an ovation from half the caucus after speaking to them

congresswoman taylor greene: of course. i'm sorry for saying all of those things that are wrong and offensive. i sincerely mean that. i'm happy to say that. i think it is good to say when we have done something wrong. >> [inaudible questions] >> are you sorry to david -- congresswoman taylor greene: david hogg was an adult when i talk to him. i don't think anything you realize that. he was working with the organization that was going around working hard for strict gun-control laws paid i'm very opposed to those policies and being in the same situation, my voice matters two. -- my voice matters, too. no, i'm not sorry for telling him he shouldn't push for gun control. what we need to do is protect our children and i don't think think -- we should protect our children and your baby as well-paid good guys with guns should not allowed to be sitting there and sitting ducks. >> [inaudible questions] you talked about the people teaching people to hate? but what about you -- congresswoman taylor greene: this reminds me of when you

that's what marjorie taylor greene has been espousing. if all of these members cannot clearly denounce it -- not just denounce the violence, but denounce the lies that underpin the violence, theshld all lose their committees. and it's within that context of what happened on january 6th, that needs to be an eye-opening moment and it could just be, this is a kook, just like todd akin who was a kook in the past. this is a materially different thing. >> well, jason, tim makes such a good point. it should be brought into the sort of forefront of these conversations. this isn't to suggest that normal republicans are good guys. it's to suggest this is so dangerous. how bad is this? it's so bad that this republican caucus, if it gives qanon lady a pass, becomes a homeland security threat to all americans. >> yeah. yeah. nicolle, this is what -- and you're making sort of the point i have seen with this. i have been apprehensive to put too much energy on marjorie taylor greene, because it makes her like the bad apple. it excull pates the rest of th

archery taylor green has embraced explicitly -- marjorie taylor greene as embraced a solicit leap anti-semitic -- explicitly anti-semitic conspiracy theories. she aligns herself with anti-lgbtq groups. some of these ideas are crazy sounding to people. i think it is very helpful to start reframing it in your mind is something that is just part of this drift toward anti-democratic, far-right, authoritarian tendencies in the republican party that is something we need to take seriously and something that is very concerning. juan: you have mentioned the impact of algorithm driven as helping build a following for marjorie taylor greene. michael: basically, these social media companies have -- almost like the tobacco industry created these algorithms meant to make you addicted to their websites. these things, if you look at twitter and stuff like that, it serves as a radicalization engine f extremists. look around you. i do not remember things being like this 10 years ago or 15 years ago. some of it has to do with the lies are the republican party for years about things we do not even cover, climate

host: marjorie taylor greene on the house floor.f you want to hear more from her, she's holding a press conference at 11:00 a.m. and we will be airing it on c-span2. diane, livingston, new jersey, democrat. caller: good morning. if we think that was an apology, then we need to really reevaluate that, because nowhere did i see her express remorse or regret for all the lies that she has said. even recently, that trump won, she wore her mask on congress floor where trump won, and that led to january 6, all of their followers storming the capital. this is just -- capitol. i applaud the democrats and brave republicans who came forward as a first step in restoring truth, facts, science, information, and honest journalism, but let's be honest. it will take years to restore the trust that they've broken down, way before trump with the right-wing media and their echo system of propaganda, disinformation, conspiracy theories. just watch any foxbusiness at night with lou dobbs and ingram and carlsen. they just propagate. all these networks, th

liz cheney and marjorie taylor greene. one who voted to impeach the former president, the other who holds extremist views. >> reporter: on capitol hill, a major test for republicans. divided over whether to continue to be the party of former president donald trump or to leave him in the past. after an hours-long meeting with the house gop, minority leader kevin mccarthy declining to pick a side. >> we just had a very good conference. >> reporter: house republicans voting congresswoman liz cheney will keep her leadership position in a 145-61 secret ballot vote, according to several people in the room. the third-ranking gop member under scrutiny by her colleagues, after voting to impeach trump a second time. a move cheney told cnn wednesday she does not regret. >> we really did have a terrific vote tonight. terrific time this evening, laying out what we're going to do going forward, as well as making clear that we're not going to be divided. >> reporter: cheney's win, a victory for traditional republicans. and wednesday's me

the house just approved the stripping of marjorie taylor greene of midi assignments. how significant is this? it is quite an extra ordinary move, isn't it? guest: it is and there isn't much precedent for what the house did today. on the other hand, there's not much president for a congresswoman like marjorie taylor greene. who has espouse the most bizarre conspiracy theories and more significantly, made comments that seemed to threaten the lives of her fellow members in the house. i think that is what pushed the democrats to do this. at the very end, steny hoyer, house majority leader, the number two democrat in the house held up a poster of -- something marjorie taylor greene had posted on social media, carrying an assault rifle aimed at three democratic members of the house, alexandria ocasio-cortez, rashida tlaib and ill on omar -- the squad. saying she would be their worst nightmare. the image of that assault rifle aimed at democratic members of the house of representatives i think was so powerful and is what move not just all democrats, but 11 republicans to vote

so marjorie taylor greene is unapologetic.t about her warning on twitter yesterday where she says if democrats remove me of my committees i can assure them the precedent they are setting will be used extensively against members on their side once we regain the majority after the 2022. her warning who knows if they'll regain the majority, democrats should be careful of what they do now because revenge could come back to haunt you all at some point. >> alisyn, can we stop talking about politics for a second. we're worried about statements that she's making, about what she's going to do as a member of congress. can we go back to what happened here? the fact that she's been spewing these dangerous, hateful, awful, conspiracy theories that she harassed kids, that she insults the memory of people whose lives have been taken at the hands of killers through gun violence, which congress must and will act on. that's what this is about. so, we don't have time for discussions about politics later. right now we're calling on kevin mccarthy

her name is marjorie taylor greene. now, taylor green is a freshman lawmaker. i am sure probably, just maybe last week, many of you had never heard her name, as she has been on the job a whopping one month. she was elected from a district in north georgia with an impressive 74% of the vote. despite widespread reports about taylor greene's support of q and qanon and other conspiracy theories, the voters went out ad voted. in other words, it appears the voters in her district, they knew about some of her beliefs, and they still decided to put her in office. very high percentage. now, democrats, they are trying to block her representation in committees and the will of her voters because of these beliefs. now, we have done our own research. we have learned that taylor greene previously said that a plane did not hit the pentagon on 9/11. sorry, but we all know as a fact that a plane did hit the pentagon, and it was a real. in fact, we lost a good friend of this show that day. you might remember barbara olson. she was on the plane that a terrorist clashed into the pe

ma marjorie taylor greene could be the face of republicans in 2022. you don't want to be talking about greene. you want to talk about your issues what you want to do. you're going to be saddled by this and that's a real problem for republicans moving forward. >> always appreciate it. thank you so much. >> thank you. >>> congressman jamie raskin, impeachment manager responding to the president's refusal to testify next week. raskin says trump's immediate refusal to testify speaks volumes and -- so joining me now, cnn legal analyst elie honig. >> good evening, don. >> it's a bold move by democrats. what's the strategy here? >> indeed. here's why it's such a bold move. because they're calling out donald trump's bluster. we know donald trump loves to talk tough, right? in twitter, back in the ol days when he had twitter. what the house impeachment manager said today is, you want to keep talking tough? come to the senate, put your hand on the bible and take an oath. in his four years in office, he had a lot of things to say, but he never testified under oa

so mark, marjorie taylor greene defiant. her today when she said the republican party belongs to trump? >> well, that was the real story of the week, don. we had this sort of epic clash around liz cheney and around marjorie taylor laser beam. and for the short-term, kevin mccarthy kind of kept the coalition together. the problem is for the longer term. the real story this week is that the republican party still is lock, stock and barrel belongs to donald trump, as marjorie taylor greene said today in her press conference. and that's the problem. because republicans had an opportunity at this point, and that is where i think mitch mcconnell jumped out and where liz cheney jumped out. they know for the long-term the party has to move away from donald trump. and now rather than doing that, they're moving even closer and showing that bond is just as tight as ever. >> yeah, well, let's talk a little bit more about those two, ron. because this is a new cnn reporting that former president trump spent the last two days livid and fum

republicans meeting right now to weigh the fates of two congresswomen, georgia representative marjorie taylor greene under fire for spreading conspiracy theories and extremist social media posts and liz cheney of wyoming, number three house republican facing bitter backlash for her vote to impeach president trump. >>> meanwhile over at the white house, president biden met with top democrats to discuss his $1.9 trillion covid relief bill, telling his party to stick together, underscoring the agency, the cdc is out with a new forecast projecting that the united states will see as many as 534,000 covid-19 deaths by the end of this month. >>> also this hour, exclusive interview with the new homeland security secretary, alejandro mayorkas, first immigrant to head the agency at a critical time for our country. >> first, straight to capitol hill where there's breaking news. manu raju is joining us. this key meeting that's under way could shape the future of the republican party. update us on the very latest. >> reporter: libehind closed dos this meeting is taking place, efforts by a number of member

mark, marjorie taylor greene, defiant.t do you think of what you heard from her today saying the republican party belongs to trump. >> that was the story of the week, don. we had an epic clash around liz cheney and marjorie taylor laser beam. the real story is that the republican party is lock, stock and barrel belonging to donald trump. republicans had an opportunity at this point. they know that the party needs to move away from donald trump. rather than doing that they are moving closer and showing the bond is as tight as well. >> this is a new cnn report, former president trump spent the last few days livid and fuming. same time, not rebuking greene has tied the gop to conspiracy theories. >> think of what he did. he created a moral equivalent between liz cheney and marjorie taylor greene. so we can keep the woman that talked about assassinating laser beams. if you look how the republican party handled the qanon of the day in 1960, there was more resistance then than now. in the 50s, more republicans resisted the lies

there is no equivalence for marjorie taylor greene. this is an unrepentant white supremacist anti-semitic conspiracy theory mongering person who really should be nowhere near the power of the united states government. she is the fringe of the fringe, and this party cannot -- cannot bring itself to draw a line between the fringe of the fringe and everything else. and it just shows where the republican party is right now. and i think it will take a huge, really walloping at the polls maybe in '22 or '24 or both to make the party actually start to rebuild. >> anna, i want to play for you a bit of congressman andy biggs, republican of arizona tonight with mr. hannity over on fox news. >> democrats want to purge taylor greene from committees. then this same standard must be applied to them. >> if you're going to take marjorie taylor greene off her committee, then you need to be looking at all the conspiracy theorists, all the hard left rhetoric that's come out. that's why i cosponsored that amendment where we substitute ilhan omar for marjo

the republican leader punting and punting on punishing marjorie taylor greene. where do things stand this morning? >> well, exactly. he's essentially telling house democrats to move ahead with their resolution. they will bring to the floor this afternoon. it will force every single republican member to make a stand on whether or not they think that their colleague should be able to stay on the committees that she serves on. that's the education committee and the budget committee. this is really an unprecedented move that democrats are going toward because they are arguing in traditional times, when there is a controversial member, it is up to that party's leadership to make a decision about that member's future. that's not what is going to happen today. but every member, every republican, again, is going to have to walk the plank and make a decision about where they stand on marjorie taylor greene. and that was frustrating to a lot of republicans that i was talking to yesterday. they essentially arguing that mccarthy is having a dereliction of leadership here. a

are they the party of marjorie taylor greene or are they the party of liz cheney. two very distinct visions and paths here, poppy and jim. >> lauren, thank you. stand by. we'll get back to you. let's bring in jamie gangel as well as former republican of pennsylvania, charlie dent. good to have you both here. lauren said it so well. which way do you go? it's a fork in the road, and your decision has a ton of consequences. and the question is, which is it going to be? i thought it was interesting, jamie, to hear south dakota republican john thune say this. do they want to be the party of limited government and fiscal responsibility, free markets, peace through strength and pro-life or the party of conspiracy theories and qanon? i think that's the decision they've got to face. it's a big distraction for them right now and not in a good way. if they don't strip marjorie taylor greene of her committee assignments, does the party not risk emboldening her the way that trump was emboldened by not being convicted of impeachment the first time and does it hurt the party, big

you don't speak to marjorie taylor greene. you take action."he other thing -- there was one anecdote that a member just texted me from inside the meeting just now that i think also speaks to a certain tone. mike kelly from pennsylvania stood up and said that seeing cheney's statement was like playing at a big football game and looking up to see your girlfriend sitting in the opposing team's stand. to which women in the caucushim girlfriend." so there is just this running wild that kevin mccarthy has let happen that is not leadership, wolf. >> you know, mia, when you and i spoke last week you said kevin mccarthy needed in your words to stand up and be the leadership that the republican party needs. do you believe he has done that? has he stood up in the way you hoped? >> well, it was just -- it was just a week ago, and i'm still counting on him to stand up and do what he can to define what the republican party is. we talked about this. fiscal discipline, limited government, personal responsibility. and the worning to him is this. if republicans

marjorie taylor greene expressed contrition. we know that in congress we're not just representatives, we're representative of the people in this country. there are many americans who get lost in some of the dark recesses of the internet and they have to climb out of that. i think marjorie taylor greene is a better person today than she was when she made some of these odd statements online. i hope that we all grow and continue to be better people and certainly the step by democrats reverts us to more of a deplat forming posture. >> harris: that's interesting. it goes along with reprogramming which is what some democrats have talked about doing with trump supporters, those people who voted, the 74 plus million people. it is interesting that you chose that word because they really are cousins in the realm realigning someone's thinking. i want to ask you, congressman, what it has been like on the hill behind the scenes as much as you can share among republicans. even the minority leader mccarthy condemned some of the statements that

marjorie taylor greene's side, a side of conspiracy theories, too fringe for fringe. a woman who days ago said she still truly believes that the election was stolen and fraudulent. a qanon supporter. mccarthy's words tonight, past comments by marjorie taylor greene on school shootings, political violence, anti-semitic conspiracy theories do not represent the values or beliefs of the republican conference. well, that is clearly not true because mccarthy's actions speak much louder than words, he is siding with greene. nowhere in his statement does he mention pulling her from both committees. by the way, they're plum committees, education and budget. in a statement he says her comments don't represent values or beliefs of house republicans. mccarthy's decision fails on many levels. first, he emphasizes as member of congress, greene must hold herself to higher standards than she did as a regular citizen. even though there's no standard by which a person who said this should be on key committees and embraced by any legitimate political party. >> the so-called plane that c

liz cheney and marjorie taylor greene. but here are the numbers that i'm looking at. 139 republicans voted to challenge the electoral college back on january 6. that's almost the same number, 145, that behind closed doors voted to protect liz cheney. and i think those votes are entirely inconsistent. how can you be someone who wants to overturn the electoral college, very trumpian, and then turn around behind closed doors and support cheney? >> who vote today impeach trump. >> the answer is who is watching. it depends who is watching. if you think you can get away with a vote of conscience, i.e., protect can cheney, then you do it. now we come full circle to tonight where in the plain light of day, what do the republicans do? all but 11 to appease the base, they lined up. and, by the way, the early polling data axios today suggests that cheney is less popular than marjorie taylor greene. so that explains it with the base. >> okay. yeah, it explains, i suppose, in a way that deeply confuses me in so many ways. but let me as

house of representatives is about to begin voting on whether to strip georgia congresswoman marjorie taylor greene of her committee assignments over extremist social media posts and spreading lots of conspiracy theories. a short while ago, greene actually took to the house floor, an 11th-hour attempt to try to distance herself from the controversies admitting the school shootings and 9/11 terror attacks are, in fact, real. >>> also breaking, a lawyer for former president trump saying he will not testify under oath at his impeachment trial on the senate floor next week after a dramatic move by house democratic impeachment managers calling on him to take part in the proceeding. >>> meanwhile, we just heard president biden make his first foreign policy address since taking office and declaring, i'm quoting him now, "america is back, diplomacy is back" as he announced some major policy shifts in a rebuke of his predecessor. let's start our coverage this hour up on capitol hill. our chief congressional correspondent manu raju is joining us right now. we're standing by for an extraordinary vote t

first, marjorie taylor greene, a member without a committee, but with a party. lauren fox joins us live from capitol hill. lauren? >> good morning, john. that's right. an historic vote yesterday in the house of representatives. democrats taking this unprecedented step of holding a vote in order to strip marjorie taylor greene from her two committee assignments. now, this was a moment where greene went down to the floor and tried to plead her case. she denounced some of her past comments, but she didn't really apologize. on capitol hill, a strong statement from house democrats this morning. voting to remove freshman congresswoman marjorie taylor greene from the education and labor and budget committees. >> the line in the sand has to be the promotion and elevation of violence directed at your colleagues or other americans. >> reporter: the decision after greene's last-minute efforts to save her assignments. >> i never said any of these things, since i have been elected for congress. these were words of the past. >> reporter: speaking for over ten minutes, attempt

and marjorie taylor greene discovers 9/11. so let's do this, people! welcome to "the daily social distancing show."■ç >> announcer: from trevor's couch in new york city to your couch somewhere in the world, this is "the daily social distancing show," with trevor noah. >> trevor: let's kick things off with joseph "railroad" biden, president of the united states and america's palette cleanser. he has made fighting the coronavirus pandemic his top priority, and while much of that involves improving vaccine distribution and doing more testing, biden is also considering a creative new idea: >> the biden administration is weighing in on a plan to send masks to every american. nbc news reports the biden white house is considering sending face coverings directly to households across the country. the covid-19 response team is currently evaluating the logistics of mailing out millions of masks. >> trevor: okay, this is a great idea, because it helps everybody! democrats get free masks, and republicans get free toilet paper. nah, i'm joking. i mean, you'd think t

they have listened to marjorie taylor greene. they have seen the entirety of what's been taking place the past few weeks. they said, no, liz cheney should not be in a position of leadership. >> no. tim is right as usual. the crazy goes deep into the republican party. the difference between the senate and the house will be very, very stark. look, should we really be surprised this is a party that is going to be comfortable with marjorie taylor greene? should we be surprised the overwhelming majority of house republicans will vote to back her? this is the party that embraced donald trump, the conspiracy theorist in chief. joe, you're right about the insurrection. think about all the other conspiracy theories this party has marinated it, from birtherism, muslims in new jersey celebrating 9/11, to the rich conspiracy, the suicide of sposser. donald trump normalized conspiracy theories, and the republican party was okay with one of his theories after another. so a party so thoroughly trumpified said this is really bad but is it all th

they had liz cheney, they were trying to grapple with marjorie taylor greene who had a history of very, very offensive racist slam phobic, anti-akhmet and i can conspiracy-laced charges and on the democratic side they're living with a republican party that they see as being guilty and rightfully so in some sense that they see being guilty and responsible for the violence january 6 flags if not directly no one is saying that they directly were responsible for the violence. but these were supporters of theirs and donald trump who came and sacked the capitol. and i had one democratic lawmaker say to me every time we see some of these lawmakers, including mjorie taylor greene, we think of that day and lisa, you know this, and we all are up in the capitol all the time. i think everyone igoing through some sort of ptsd from that day which was deeply troubling and for all of us, for staff and reporters, for members and for aides. and i think that's very, very acute with members of congress. lisa: sabrina, i want to ask you, the view from the white house, which is not really a place of relativ

this was that he was concerned that the house are a big tent and they needed people like marjorie taylor green in part because let's face it donald trump is the most popular republican politician still holds enormous power and his base is enormously powerful and vocal and we also underlying all of this $199.00 republicans felt they couldn't vote to censure taylor green for comments for example calling for the killing of nancy pelosi colleagues in the house and shooting the squad alexandro because you're cortez and so on and they could be so all sorts of reasons but what they're what we what we understand is in the end so many republicans are so concerned about the power of the trump still wields on the party and this is the house so districts are smaller and the people could be primaried much easier that they could be much more it doesn't take many people to ruin the house members career let's face it and so although there may be all sorts of reasons that are given. clearly a lot of republicans feel it's better to keep the trump base within the party than without the party that's not of

so democrats want to purge taylor green from committees? this same standard must be applied to them. right? out of fundamental fairness. l for example, let's start with congresswoman omar. she floated that theory that evil jews hypnotized of the world? she said that the council on islamic relations was founded because some people killed del mike did something you mean kill 3,000 americans? and congresswoman omar used an anti-semitic trope, it's all about the benjamins baby, or a member that line again, there you go. sure the same standards be applied to both sides? both congresswoman omar, fellow squad congressman to leave, they pal around with that woman, the tories anti-semite and anti-jewish conspiracy theorist linda sarsour. a talked a lot about her. where are the congressman for her? congresswoman tlaib wrote for louis farrakhan's -- from the river to the cecum of palestine willal be freed, that was used y the plo and hamas for his israeo be wiped from the planet.sp and pelosi in name only, alexandria ocasio-cortez. she has endlessly p

of course he's not like marjorie taylor greene. you worked for john boehner and paul ryan, quote/unquote, establishment republicans. didn't this all start on their watch, the birtherism, the conspiracies? they would argue that they're the symptoms of the broken party, not the cause of it. >> i think it would go back farther. one of the reasons that donald trump was able to overtake the republican party was that so many republican voters hate the republican party. for 20 years, it has been currency to mislead them and attack basically our own leadership. whether you're talking about talk radio, blogs, certain cable channels. when we were in the speaker's office, that was currency to attack us and basically say, you're just not fighting hard enough. that's the ethos right now. ted cruz told us if we thought a little harder we could pass obama care. if voters see that you're not delivering, they're going to hate you. one of the challenges, being a republican establishment leader is that your base dislikes you so much and they've been
