like marjorie taylor greene herself. house speaker nancy pelosi calling those people shellfish. marjorie taylor greene was on the house floor with a group of republicans last week, not wearing a mask, defying that mandate that by the way the attending physician of the capitol put forward as well. and she is getting some bipartisan condemnation, including from congresswoman liz cheney. of course, the ogstad conference care chair who disagreed with former president trump. adam kinzinger, who called those comments vile, evil and discussing. marjorie taylor greene doubling down, as you said, overnight. instead pointed to comments that democrats made as why jews are being attacked now and facing a rise in antisemitism. but regardless, the jewish organizations around the country are actually condemning green and saying that she is demeaning what jews faced in the holocaust. of course, 6 million of them lost their lives. so, marjorie taylor greene doubling down for sure on those comments. guys? >> all right julie sorkin, thank you so much. we're going to dive a little bites further in t

there were 11 republicans who joined her, and those were comments that marjorie taylor greene made backefore she was in congress. these are tweets and comments that marjorie taylor greene is making as an elected official. and that could be seen from some republican colleagues as a line that she has crossed. of course, a lot of developments happening in the house of representatives that's out of session this week so we'll have to wait and see whether or not lawmakers, when they get back to washington, want to take any further steps to condemn their colleague. ana? >> we know you'll keep us posted. i want to discuss this with s.e. cup and charlie dent, congressman dent, it took five days to get condemnation of these comments, five days, why did it take this long? >> i think simply out of fear, ana. i mean, i saw some -- i was on a show last night with don lemon where they were talking about how marjorie taylor greene's image ratings were higher than liz cheney's and mitch mcconnell's? >> they're afraid of marjorie taylor greene? >> i think -- well, look, ana when i said back in august las

i want to talk about marjorie taylor greene. i'm jewish. m not at all observant or religious but that's my heritage. marjorie taylor greene would certainly say i'm jewish. my reaction to her is how dare she presume to speak for me as a rational person? how dare she, this person who has espoused anti-semitic theories about space lasers causing forest fires. how dare she? what's your reaction? >> john, you're spot on. look, this rational jewish person right here believes it's time for marjorie taylor greene to be expeled from congress. this is enough. marjorie taylor greene is trafficking in hate speech, tr trivializing the holocaust, dog whistles to the far right to raise money, to raise her political power, to bias our politics in the place of hate. and there's no place for hate in our politics. this needs to stop right now. >> marjorie taylor greene at this point -- well, well beyond this point, has made clear exactly who she is and the hateful theories that she espouses. the important question now is, what is going to be done about it? wha

and donald trump likes marjorie taylor greene. so apparently she gets to do whatever she wants, you know, until at least according to cnn's reporting, they start hearing from donors and members of congress saying, this is not going to fly. and then he gives this kind of ridiculous calling her out and then pointing fingers at the democrats. but he's not really doing anything about it. >> yeah. amanda, republican sources tell cnn that gop donors, house members as well urged mccarthy to condemn greene, but they don't think much else is going to happen to her, saying this, and i quote. donald trump likes her. he supports her, and kevin doesn't want to upset trump. i mean -- >> yeah. >> that's like really -- that's not even a leader if you're following that. if that's what you're doing. >> kevin mccarthy is a political wind sock. he will flip on every issue to appease whoever is treating him well at that particular moment in time. this isn't going to get better. this isn't the only incident marjorie taylor greene has. what do you want?

the congresswoman marjorie taylor greene of georgia had aggressively con fronted congresswoman of newall.dz"táurns out it was not t time that marjorie taylor greene behaved in a menachmgok way towards alexandria ocasio-cortez. she's been doing it since before she was a memberq of congress.e1 there waslp a facebook live vid since been deleted of green visiting the capitol in february 2019.fá this was before she was a member.jf this video, greene shows up along with two men. one of whom would go on and participate in the june 6th insurrection. she taunts and qmenaces the womn through the mail slot of her office door. citizens instead of us having to use a little flap. >> we just played you was an edited version of the video.xd heok loitered around herr around ten minutes talking to the mail slot. today congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez was asked about this behavior. >> this ist( woman that's deepl1 unwell and clearly needs some help.ñr her kind of fixation has lasted for several years now. you know, at this point theq depthe1 of the that unwellness s raised concern forqr as well an

the media gravitate to conflict and controversial lawmakers like marjorie taylor greene.e future, depending on what she says. i think there will be more of it as we get closer to the next election. howie: the cnn report that mccarthy and mcconnell were pressured into condemning the congresswoman after initially staying quiet for several days. does that sound plausible to you, that they would kind of read the political tea leaves and felt like they had to come out and issue those condemning remarks? >> what i know the republicans loathe to do is react at something that makes it look like they're reacting to something the democrats want them to do. everything is like i say, they're engaged in a labeling war now. the republicans were all too happy to point to the squad for remarks they made, supporting palestine versus israel with the latest rocket battle in the middle east. they want to identify each other as a an extremist party. there's a reluctance among republican leaders to condemn one of their own. nobody likes to do that because you have inner party conflict we will

as much as we have heard about marjorie taylor greene, we've never heard anything from marjorie taylor her, never talked to her, no idea what she is really like. and it might be worth finding out. so we sat down with her for an episode of tucker carlson today." it airs tomorrow. and what an interesting conversation it was. about an hour long and we recorded it. you can make up your own mind about marjorie taylor greene. and we hope that you will. here is a short clip of it. what is it like wandering around congress being marjorie taylor greene? how do democratic colleagues respond to your? here is what she said. >> they see me and they look at me so i felt like he was on their faces which is usually very amusing. become. the article? >> well, anything from oh, there she is. oh, there's marjorie taylor greene. or just straight up hatred, like stared on hatred. >> tucker: really? >> some of them can't even make eye contact with me because i think there may be a little intimidated by me. the one she went on to describe the one conversation she has had with any democratic member of congres

matt gaetz, and marjorie taylor greene. marjorie: that's right., i think the $5 that someone donates to us means more to us than -- and your support and your thank yous and your kind letters and the wonderful things you say mean more to us -- matt: your prayers. some of us need those more than others at times. [cheers and applause] marjorie: ok. let's tell them a few little stories. matt: ok, go ahead. marjorie: ok, so i did talk to one democrat recently. little adam. he put together a pac. his is called country first pac. this plan for two years is to get rid of matt gaetz and marjorie taylor greene. because he thinks we are the problem in the republican party. what do you all think about that? he thinks there should be bipartisanship with the democrat. how about that? yeah, we don't agree, do we? matt: i think for our movement to remain inspirational and successful to draw people in, we have to show the ability to tell the truth about some of our own. if we have people, as republicans, who care more about the pac's donating to them that the peop

and they are suggesting they oust marjorie taylor greene from the caucus. of course, that is met with deaf ears among the leaders there. the other, like i said, they feed on attention. and it would be -- here we are, and i understand why, but we're talking about them. and they are loving it. and, you know, and this is trump's inspiration. you know, if you start a dumpster fire, people are going to stop and watch.

marjorie taylor greene, on the other hand, not only has not apologized. she has gone on twitter and sort of doubled down on everything she said and is portraying herself as a victim and even trying to pretend she didn't say what everybody heard her say. so i think kevin mccarthy thinks the only way he will win the house back is with donald trump behind him and he doesn't want to upset donald trump and donald trump likes marjorie taylor greene and so apparently she gets to do whatever she wants, you know, until at least according to cnn's reporting they start hearing from donors and members of congress saying this is not going to fly and then he gives this kind of ridiculous calling her out and then pointing fingers at the democrats. but he is not really doing anything about it. >> amanda, republican sources tell cnn that g.o.p. donors, house members as well urged mccarthy to condemn greene. they don't think much else will happen to her. i quote, donald trump likes her. he supports her and kevin doesn't want to upset trump. i mean -- >> yeah. >> that's not

they understand that marjorie taylor greene has a better connection with the trump base than they do. just -- just try to picture kevin mccarthy holding a trump rally, without trump, as marjorie taylor greene and matt gaetz are doing now. try to imagine mitch mcconnell going on one of those stages and revving the crowd up. they can't do it. that's why they can't cross her on this. and it's just kind of amazing. you know, when you think of marjorie taylor greene. what she's doing, she is almost like an olympic champion in competitive grievance because in all these issues, she and the trump voter are the victims, right? like, when it comes to getting vaccinated. or wearing a mask. she's basically a victim of the holocaust. when it comes to parkland students wanting to advocate for gun control. she is the one that goes and stalks people, like david hogg, to say that she is the victim because her second-amendment rights are being hurt. and then, look at the january-6th commission. there are people who are saying, you know, the people that invaded the capitol were just peaceful protestors

they understand that marjorie taylor greene has a better connection with the trump base than they do. try to picture kevin mccarthy holding a trump rally without trump as marjorie taylor greene and matt gaetz are doing now. try to imagine mitch mcconnell going on a stage and revving the crowd up. they can't do it. that's why they can't cross her on this, and it's just kind of amazing, you know, when you think of marjorie taylor greene, she's almost like an olympic champion and competitive grievance because all these issues, she and the trump voter are the victims. right? when it comes to getting vaccinated or wearing a mask, she was a victim of the holocaust. when it comes to park land students wanting to advocate for gun control, she goes and stalks people to say she's the victim because her second amendment rights are being hurt. look at the january 6th commission. there are people saying the people that invaded the capitol were pieceful eaceful protester exercising their rights. they see that trump base as people they can't cross and that's why they're not going to condemn marjorie

it's people like gaetz and marjorie taylor greene. so what gives here? i mean paul ryan speaking out, i'm sure you're glad that he's doing it, but that could have happened a long time ago. but gaetz and marjorie taylor greene, that's where the party is. >> yeah. i don't think he's trying to be the future of the party. i think he has had two years out of office and is able to see from a distance and outside of the pressure of being in the speaker's office the direction we're heading and has some thoughts on it and is sharing them. look, matt gaetz and marjorie taylor greene are certainly the superstars of the moment in some quarters. but this is a path to being a party in the wilderness forever if those are the people that we are highlighting in our party. i think the message from the speaker -- former speaker tonight was, look, we can have these cultural skirmishes and we can get hits and clicks if we want. but you need to have some grounding principles in which you believe, and we are so far from that right now. i know there's probably a lot of people on

not condemning those disgusting, deeply offensive comments from republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greenee know marjorie taylor greene clocks in, wolf, somewhere between deranged and demented, right? this is a woman who thinks there are jewish space lasers starting forest fires and she's a qanon enthusiast and offensive in almost everything that she does, but in this moment when assaults are spiralling across the country, we need leaders from both sides of the aisle to speak out clearly and consistently. leaders need to leave whether they're members of congress who say when you attack jewish because you're angry about the middle east that is anti-semitism. i want to see members of congress from the left ask the right clearly, cogently say anti-semitism is unacceptable, but beyond that, faith leaders and community activists and wolf, the social media companies should take down these horrible hash tags and pull down these tiktok videos and instagram memes and that's got to happen. we can't wait. this thursday at 4:00 p.m., the jew community are organizing a day of action against anti-semiti

control trump and they cannot control me and they certainly cannot control congresswoman marjorie taylor greenevernment, big media, big tech and they would all breathe a sigh of relief marjorie taylor greene and i were no longer in the congress fighting for you. they lie about us because we tell the truth about them and we are not going to stop. [cheering and applause] we are not powerless in this fight. we are a powerful movement and you are powerful people, as president trump reminds us. we are the elites now and so let our beautiful cherished constitution be our guide.as we have a right to speak freely and to assemble and we better use it. [cheering and applause] the terms of service on twitter should never be more important than the values that undergird the first amendment of our constitution. we need more than just a legalistic definition of the first amendment and we need a culture of free speech in america. can you believe the facebook oversight board took president trump off their platform? what does that say? they are afraid of the truth. youtube, thank goodness youtube does notem def

matt gaetz, and marjorie taylor greene. marjorie: that's right. as a matter of fact, i think the $5 that someone donates to us means more to us than -- and your support and your thank yous and your kind letters and the wonderful things you say mean more to us -- matt: your prayers. some of us need those more than others at times. [cheers and applause] marjorie: ok. let's tell them a few little stories. matt: ok, go ahead. marjorie: ok, so i did talk to one democrat recently. little adam.

if you watch television very often, you know that marjorie taylor greene is a conspiracy nut and a qanonyou know if you are not allowd to talk to marjorie taylor greene, because that is abetting. that waso enough for us. you can't talk to someone, obviously we're going to talk to them because it is america. so we talked to her for about an hour for "tucker carlson today," and we are glad we did. we did it so you can assess for t yourself who marjorie taylor greene is and what she is about. it is worth watching. here's part of it. >> when i got to congress, i found out, here's why we are in trillions of dollars of debt. here's why our country feels like it is crumbling. here's why the business -- it's a business, that is what congress is, it runs the country -- this is why this business is failing, failing america, it's because most of the people that are there are not qualified to be there. there are people that can only succeed in government or academia, or maybe they are attorneys that could not build their career big enough, so they decided to go into politics, or people that just pur

the video of marjorie taylor greene screaming at aoc through the mail slot. to congress. it's the same person it's bizarre behavior for any adult. alexandria ocasio-cortez saying marjorie taylor greene isn't well and needs help. >> think about the fact that this is a workplace. first of all, these are members of congress and hopefully they should have more decorum that you're seeing from marjorie taylor greene and what you're seeing members harassing other members and doing it in awa that would the nobody acceptable in the private sector or any work promenade des anglais. it really calls into question who is running the show and looking the way that leader kevin mccarthy is saying he hasn't seen it and doesn't know what it's all about. he's turning a blind eye to behavior that would be unacceptable in any other setting. this is the house of representatives and this is the member's house and they out to be acting with a little more derek rum. >> we just heard congresswoman cheney and i heard about more fric members of the caucus whether it's talking in front of

we're speaking out finally to condemn marjorie taylor greene. arthy putting out a statement saying this marjorie is wrong in her intentional decision to compare the horrors of the holocaust with wearing masks is appalling. the statement saying this, "representative scalise does not agree with these comments and condemns thee comparisons to the holocaust." speaking out against vile comparisons like what greene offered doubled down on and then tripled down on this morning should be the most basic expect sags of anyone considered a leader in america. so are they leading here? because of all the republicans you now probably see put out similar statements, it was not leading at all anymore. simply following, i he don't know, the polls. joining me now is lauren fox on capitol hill. what is behind this -- what's behind the statements, driving the statements this morning? >> well, obviously, we saw a flurry of the statements coming from house remepublican leadersp a few minutes ago. as mitch mcconnell was heading to the senate floor to give his opening r

those two there, marjorie taylor-greene and matt gaetz kicking off their trump tour, bashing not only democrats, but some of their own republican colleague, as well, as we go to nbc's leann caldwell joining us from the villages where that all took place. as i say hi to you, leann, what message did this rally send? >> hey, alex. well, according to them the message sent that donald trump is still the leader of the republican party. here at the villages it's like disney world for retirees and it is also a jackpot of votes for republican candidates and it's also for the time being, the latest state in the battle for the ongoing control of the republican party. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪ we are the champions ♪ >> the friday night political bash hosted by two fire brand house republicans, one kicked off her committees for controversial statements, the other facing allegations of sexual misconduct which he denies, but here, celebrated on the rollout of their america first trump-focused tour. >> this is our first stop, but there will be many more and america's greatest president and the undisputed party, donald

conference about liz cheney and her perceived sins and how much have we heard about them from marjorie taylor greene? they refuse to condemn marjorie taylor greene for the most part, refuse to hold her accountable, and in fact resisted efforts by democrats to do that when they took her off her committee assignments. but yet they purge anybody who dares to say the truth, that president trump and his supporters have lied about what happened in the 2020 election. i think that says all you need to know about where the power in the republican party is at this moment. >> and i actually think it's astounding to me to hear elise stefanik on the sunday shows saying the republican party is unified. whether you're a republican or democrat or member of a third party or an independent, whatever you may be, i mean you have eyes and ears to understand the republican party is certainly not unified. liz cheney is a huge part, a huge member of the republican party. there are a lot of members of congress right now that are not in agreeance with what the republican party is doing. so the idea that the republican party

he's somebody that i can get behind.so but i'm notmeon going to suppor marjorie greene.there is somebody who will stand for the constitution against her as a republican, i n would be happydi to support thed i hope to see many of these sort of fringe candidates go by the wayside because they are very ineffective in representing beu their districts and getting ll u anything done that's helpful to the districts because they are divisive people.rjorie i can tell you right now from everything i've ever seen in congress, you will not see by hr marjorie greene pass a bill, in my opinion. i don't expect you will ever see a bill sponsored by her passed.t yet, she will send out fundraising letters talking s. about things she's introduced. yet, she will be one of the mosa ineffective members of congress >> we have athis viewer from bakersfield, california, who texted us this morning asking p you this. saying, since the nontrump supporters of the gop representg about 9% of the voting public, why not join with the democrats just long enough to put a and vampire spike through the hear

she's just not that into, marjorie taylor greene. sponses aside, we're not seeing many republican members of congress speak out against the actions of congresswoman marjorie taylor greene, as well noted. just a couple of been really outspoken. someone -- with kamala's minority leader kevin mccarthy, we haven't seen her really take her behavior into consideration with any formal action of condemnation. but this also comes as congresswoman greene has raised about three point $2 million in the first quarter of this year. her strategy is working, effectively. she's getting that attention. she is raising money. there is no indication of her brand being dented. by way of the strategy and what she's trying to do. >> it's really remarkable when you think about it. i never would, but if i was knocking on kendis's office door harassing him like that, i would be gone in a second. in any normal place of business. >> restraining order? >> his phone would've been on the dial there. this is a video here from cnn that i believe that's has since been

stepupprepup.com. >>> this week brought more confrontations on capitol hill involving gop congresswoman marjorie taylor greeneide to the congresswoman was repeatedly involved in an altercation with the congresswoman about eric swalwell wearing a mask on the haul floor. this led to marjorie taylor greene shouting in the halls of capitol and greene's aggressive behavior dating back to early 2019 when citizen greene recorded her trip to capitol hill. a video that had been unearthed by cnn's k-file team. >> all right, we're going to go see, we're going to visit alexandria oscasio-cortez. crazyizes, crazy eyes, nutty cortez. oscasio-cortez, i'm an american citizen. i pay your salary from the taxes you collect from me through the irs because i'm a tax-paying citizen of the united states. you need to stop being a baby and stop locking your door and come out and face the american systems you serve. if you want to be a big girl, you need to get rid of your diaper and come out and be able to talk to the american citizens instead of us having to use a flap, a little flap. sad. >> she's now a member of congress. olivia b

we get more now from cbs' nikole killion. >> reporter: conservative firebrand marjorie taylor greene firebrand marjorie taylor greene caus caused an uproar by outrageously comparing covid safety ruled to the holocaust. this morning greene tweeted, the georgia congresswoman doubled down after these comments last week about mask mandates in the house that she violated. >> we can look back at a time in history where people were told to wear a gold star, and they were definitely treated like second-class citizen-- citizens, so much so that they were put in trains and taken to gas chambers in nazi germany, and this is exactly the type of abuse that nancy pelosi is talk about. >> it's beyond reprehensible. >> reporter: congressional condemnation came not just from the speaker but g.o.p. leaders across the board. >> this is one of the frequent outbursts that are absolutely outrageous. >> reporter: house minority leader kevin mccarthy stated, "marjorie is wrong." greene was stripped of her committee assignments this year for past incendiary comments and pushing conspiracy theories, mccarthy u

i'm assuming you're talking about marjorie taylor greene who, and this is "washington post" reportersw this go down. ran after congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez yesterday and accused her of supporting terrorists, which, of course, she does not. is marjorie taylor greene a threat to her congressional colleagues? >> well, she has certainly engaged in threatening behavior, and i think ultimately, this is something that may have to be evaluated by the ethics committee. congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez has shown tremendous restraint and should be commended in that regard because it appears the so-called congresswoman from georgia is stalking her. this is not the first incident, and she is clearly intentionally trying to lure congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez into some kind of conflict in order to promote marjorie taylor greene's own, you know, online celebrity, if you will, and her appeal to the far right reaches of the internet. but again, this shows how far the house republican conference has fallen in terms of race to the bottom because, on the one hand, they oust liz ch

meanwhile, marjorie taylor greene comparing mask mandates to the slaughter of 6 million jews.'ve already played her appalling comments, and i don't want to do it again. how do you explain the deafening silence from all but a few -- a handful of republicans? >> well, now is the time, don, for them to speak up. i mean this was offensive, ignorant, outrageous, and frankly unsurprising given the source. this is the woman who gave us talk about jewish space lasers. look, it's long past time that they finally condemn her. i said when she was nominated last august that the gop at that time, kevin mccarthy, should have said she would not be welcome into the house republican conference, and she would not be seated on committees, and that they would work and defeat her in the primary in 2022. they should have done it then. now they have time. they can do it now. they can throw her out of the conference once and for all. i saw your previous segment, don, too, with jonathan swan, where marjorie taylor greene's image ratings supposedly were higher among gop voters than liz cheney and mitch

it was the democrats who took steps against marjorie taylor greene. >> that's right. >> not kevin mccarthy just to put a finer point on this, kevin mccarthy, marjorie taylor greene endorsed the comment of someone calling him a feckless "c" word and he's let it stand, okay? so that's -- that tells you all you need to know about what flies here. i want to talk to you guys about a politico report because politico is reporting that you actually have donald trump and newt gingrich kind of joining up partners in crime to come up with a new contract for america. what do you think about this? >> i think this is very much led by donald trump's allies and probably less so by trump himself. he has indicated for the past six months now that all he wants to talk about is the 2020 election. and his allies are starting to see that that's -- his base is losing interest in that. republicans on capitol hill want to shift their focus to items and policy that will actually help them win midterm elections, not alienate key parts of the party. so this is a push to get him to shift his attention elsewhere. i thi

you mentioned marjorie taylor greene. last week congressman greene confronted congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez outside the house chamber. she accused her of supporting terrorists. marjorie taylor greene has a history of accosting congres man ocasio-cortez. we have newly unearthed video which shows marjorie taylor greene who was a private citizen and several others, including someone who later partook in the january 6 insurrection looking for alexandria ocasio-cortez at her office. listen to this. >> you need to stop being a baby and stop locking your door and come out and face the american citizens that you serve. if you want to be a big girl, you need to get rid of your diaper and come out and be able to talk to the american citizens instead of us having to use a flap, a little flap. sad. >> you brought this up. what does it say now for you and others having to work with republicans when people like liz cheney, who are very conservative and probably don't share some of your views politically, but that's okay. but p

commitment >>> more confrontations on capitol hill we're learning about involving congresswoman marjorie taylor greenereene reportedly confronted representative alexandria ocasio-cortez in the halls of capitol hill. what's going on? cnn's lauren fox with the latest. let's start with this incident with swalwell. >> reporter: you're required to wear a mask when marjorie taylor greene's spokesman said biden said you don't have to wear a mask, he responded he would do what he wanted essentially and i think one of the issues here is this isn't the first time we've seen sort of a heated exchange right off the house floor in recent days. like you mentioned, marjorie taylor greene, she confronted representative alexandria ocasio-cortez earlier this week basically wanting to debate her on socialist ideology and ante fa and other items. we talked to the congresswoman earlier today about what she thought of that interaction with marjorie taylor greene. here's what she said. >> this is a woman that's deeply unwell. and clearly needs some help. i am kind of her fixation that's lasted for several years now. at this

you say marjorie taylor greene's disgusting comments about mask mandates fit the mold from what you're seeing online. >> these comments don't come out of the blue. we know marjorie taylor greene knows her way around some of the dark internet forums because she was a prominent peddler of the qanon conspiracy theory. what we're seeing since the early lockdown last year, we've seen a lot of rhetoric but really around vaccines, comparing the democrats to nazis, specifically both fauci and biden to hitler. anything to do with vaccines, lockdowns, masks, it is all being compared to naziism. one thing i found striking is in taylor greene's defense of her comments, she said she believed that any rational jewish person would agree with her comments about the holocaust. so we have a woman here who in 2018 claimed not that long ago, claimed it was jewish space lasers that were responsible for california wildfires. she is now claiming to speak for rational jewish people. >> yeah. there are so many places to go with that. i won't. is this nazi rhetoric flourishing because of the proliferation of ha

like, that's what they are saying with marjorie taylor greene.god, she's -- like, could she just stop? like, people are mumbling under their breath going this woman is so embarrassing. does she not have any shame? i think that's -- >> yeah, but why don't they do something about it? i mean, in congress, there are rules, right? >> same reason they won't do anything about trump. i mean, cause, you know -- >> but, guys, the -- the -- that's the exact point and that's the problem for the republican party. if you don't do something about the extremes, you are defined by the extremes. so, by not pushing back on them. by not penalizing them and penalizing liz cheney, they are becoming defined by marjorie taylor greene. >> but, mark. here -- here, this is the whole thing. the whole thin,g, in a nutshell mark and kirsten. all of it, every-single bit of it is a grift. so, she is like, this is really cool. i can do it. and i am going to own the livs and the people who support me, they are going to love it. and trump is going to love it. and everybody -- like

taylor greene. >> she's so unbelievable. joining us tonight is marjorie taylor greene, i love marjorie. >> dan, thank you for being here. no matter what the game or the political calculation is that's dictating the slow walk of mccarthy and other republican leaders, you think this actually could blow up in mccarthy's face in his quest to be speaker, why is that? >> >> i agree with mccarthy's comment, he calls it appalling. there needs to be consequences for this kind of discourse. this kind of messaging from greene is distracting from the republicans going after biden's over reaching ando overspending. it is not helping mccarthy recruiting for next cycle that can win in toss-up district and what he needs to be focusing on now. so this is all a big distraction and why low walking and response, calling it appalling is certainly something and not enough and by not commenting on her ridiculous comments and what's going on in the middle east right now when the republicans should be standing with israel. i think he needs to be aggressive in going after her and

outrage is brewing over remarks made by marjorie taylor greene.> i stand by all of my statements. i said nothing wrong and i think any rational jewish person didn't like what happened in nazi germany and doesn't like what's happening with

matt gaetz and marjorie taylor greene right now rallying trump supporters. this is the gop. >>> plus, extremely weak jobs report. are unemployment benefits to blame? one in the icu, the other recovering quickly. dr. sanjay gupta with fascinating report. let's go out front. good evening, i am erin burnett. the triumph of maga. two of the most controversial republicans in congress kicking off their america's first tour with a rally for trump voters. they are the support of the republican party. two of the former president's accolades. matt gaetz and marjorie taylor greene. you are looking at greene live right now. gaetz is under investigation from the sex trafficking with a minor. >> make no mistake this election was stolen from you and me and the country. >> we know this is really been a stolen election. >> an election that was stolen. >> so as you can imagine. trump likes people who carried that lie a whole lot. >> matt gaetz is a great man and gentleman. what a future he'll have. >> this one, i never would want to have her as my enemy. marjorie taylor green

. >>> plus, marjorie taylor greene doubled down on comparing covid mask mandates to the holocaust. what could this mean for the state of her party? >>> raising questions about the origin of covid-19, where it came from and is anybody trying to hide the truth? i will discuss with my guest, dr. celine goaler. >>> good to have you with us. unacceptable and unprecedented and shocking. that's just some of the outrage pouring in over the arrest of a activist from belerus. it was the president that ordered a fighter jet to escort the plane where the vocal critic of the president was detained. the plane spent several hours on the ground before it continued on and arrived safely in the lithuanian capital. a passenger described what happened onboard. >> at one moment we just changed the direction of flight and we go down and to the left. after, let's say 2 1/2 minutes, the captain of the crew and the crew say that they are going to land in minutes and don't give a reason why. >> those actions are now drawing strong reaction. the u.s. has condemned the forced diversion of the flight and is ca

what do we been this confrontation between aoc and marjorie taylor-greene this week? what exactly happened? >> in fact, the georgia congresswoman marjorie taylor-greene has been repeating and defending her and not claiming that this didn't happen. she said alexandra ocasio-cortez owes her answers and she wants to know more about the green new deal and she was defending herself saying i, of course, want to know more answers from what the new york democrat is saying. so it's not that they're pretending that this happened and it's a remarkable example and as we were writing in this piece, i have not seen relationships this sour, even january 6th. i was in the chamber that day. a lot of the capitol is living like it is january 7th because the tensions are so high and exacerbated by the republicans who were claiming that this was actually not a spat and that the media is overplaying it, some of it comparing it to a normal tourist visit and this is inflaming tensions that lawmakers, particularly democrats, who have been in the chamber that day have been trying to move past a

between members of congress, but now further compounded by the series of incidents caused by marjorie taylor greene and her staff. as we noted and you noted in the intro there's been a number of incidents that have further compounded those dynamics. we saw an incident with marjorie taylor greene yelling at congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez as she left the house chambers screaming at her trying to engage her to debate on policy. that kind of harassment is not tolerated on capitol hill. that's not something that typically happens. additionally cnn unearthed this video from 2019 from before congresswoman greene was elected to the house that showed her going to alexandria ocasio-cortez's office and yelling at her through the mail slot, yell something incendiary thing. that video has since been delete bud greene was broadcasting that over facebook live at the time. this comes with that pattern of behavior that congresswoman greene has been demonstrating. she has a long history of picking fights with people she disagrees with, whether it's members of congress or others, prominent democrats especiall

house republican leaders have finally condemned congresswoman marjorie taylor greene five days after sk mandates to the holocaust. minority leader kevin mccarthy saying in a statement marjorie is wrong and her intentional decision to compare the horrors of the holocaust with wearing masks is appalling. we should note greene insists she said nothing wrong claiming on twitter today i never compared it to the holocaust, only the discrimination against jews in early nazi years. that clears it up. mccarthy used the rest of the statement to attack democrats alleging without any proof that anti-semitism is on the rise in the democratic party. let's discuss this. we've scott jennings and chris cillizza. scott, i'll kick it off with you. do you think rope can leaders went far enough in condemning greene's comments? >> i certainly think their condemnations were appropriate. they already stripped her of her committees earlier this year for some other inappropriate commentary that she made so she's already been marginalized within the conference. i think that the question that kevin mccarthy and

i think they think marjorie taylor greene speaks to the base of their party so she's a welcome memberk out against what she said and it's an outrage. >> among many republicans, at least the former president supporters, she's more popular than kevin mccarthy. it's hard to imagine there will be any repercussions for her as long as mccarthy, as you said and others are eager to reclaim power. >> yeah, and she raises money for them. she's, you know, she's more popular than he is. they moved quickly to remove liz cheney from a leadership position in the conference because she had the audacity to tell the truth and call out the big lie and yet, their fully embracing marjorie taylor greene and kevin mccarthy showed failure of leadership and she's more popular among republican voters and maybe among the republican members of congress tells you something. they did nothing to impose any consequence or sanction on her for her conduct and this is one of many things she's done to demonstrate deep anti accept ' -- s semitism. >> you wrote to make it clear he doesn't support greene's remarks. how do

also, we need to be clear, this is a pattern of behavior for marjorie taylor greene. d my own already leader kevin mccarthy about this and it's been around for 24, hours he claims he hasn't seen this nor has he talked to marjorie taylor greene. she's been accused of this kind of confrontational and threatening an aggressive behavior previously, which we saw on tape with her costing david hobbs providing marjorie taylor greene -- sorry, the parkland hike shootings. and the staff accused her -- in a tunnel to put on a mask for her safety. she accused bush of lying. marjorie taylor greene have spend -- the butter behavior. she doubled down on it after we asked her. it's really abrupt behavior that we've seen at trump rallies. >> yeah. jacqueline solemani, thank you for your reporting. i appreciate it. >> the former republican congressman carlos -- has insight into the republican congress. he joins me. one level, i think taylor greene is an outlier in the republican congress. not in this respect. there are people who do trenton settings, they look for the way to style when

i want to see the cell phone records of marjorie taylor greene. now that we know that someone that she was stalking aoc, congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez, are we all talking during this? because there were some reports that there were some communications of some of these insurrectionists being directed from inside the capitol. >> that's right. >> so i want to get into that. there's a lot of information out there, if this commission is stacked up the way it should be, and stocked with the power it needs and the subpoena power is one of them, that's a very important power. yeah, this could get ugly really quick, and kevin knows it. the fact that he's standing there and apparently is telling people he didn't know that this had been signed off on, and that his republican member was agreeing with his democratic counterpart on the deal, yeah, right, kevin. it doesn't work like that. and this gets ugly quick. >> cnn reported on this video recorded in 2019, it was before marjorie greene was a congresswoman. she visited congressional offices with a m

matt gaetz, and marjorie taylor greene. marjorie: that's right.i think the $5 that someone donates to us means more to us than -- and your support and your thank yous and your kind letters and the wonderful thingus say mean more to us -- matt: your prayers. some of us need those more than others at times. [cheers and applause] marjorie: ok. let's tell them a few little stories. matt: ok, go ahead. marjorie: ok, so i did talk to one democrat recently. [booing] just one. from new york 14. i'm in georgia's 14th district, she's from new york's 14th district. a.o.c. wait, wait. i mean sandy. sandy cortez. so little sandy wrote a little 14-page piece of legislation called the green new deal. is anyone familiar? little sandy has a degree in economics. i have a business degree and i'm a successful business owner. but sandy has worked in the restaurant industry. that's a hard job. i waited tables in college. i commend her for that, i'm serious. but i have a real big problem with the green new deal. it's going to destroy our economy. and it's going to hand
