i'm confused, is joe conway talking about an investigation into himself?e conway who is a shoo-in for father and husband of the year award, no question about that. this is the same guy who says the lying has to stop. on national television he said he really didn't know john weaver. that's interesting, you raised $90 million with the guy for the project you cofounded with him, you collaborated on an op-ed for "the new york times" with him which takes a little bit of work and probably something where you have to get to know the guy, so he is probably the last guy, they were warned about john weaver and the victims as young as 14 years old and they didn't do anything last year about it because the money that was coming in, $90 million total and $50 million of it went to firms controlled by leaders of the lincoln project. get a grip, i guess, harris. >> harris: msnbc host nicole wallace who has previously worked with some of the lincoln project's cofounders has recently been ignoring the scandal after she spent months praising the group's work. >> let me trans

george conway is back with us.know, it's always a danger to read tea leaves but the question is does she keep her committee assignments? she's on the education committee and the budget committee as well. >> obviously we don't know what that -- what's going to result from tonight's meetings. it's possible they do the right thing and strip her of these committee assignments. the fact of the matter is, it may be for the republican party too little too late. she's still going to be a member of the house. the same forces that elected her elected people like this woman in colorado and western colorado, lauren boebert. there are other people, not quite as bad, but pretty bad, who are basically donald trump cultists or almost qanon types. they're still part of the party going forward. that's exemplified by the fact these people are still there. i think the best thing they can do that could be done for the republican party would be for republican senators to get on the stick and realize how they got where we are today inste

joining us is lincoln project co-founder george conway.to get your reaction in a moment but first, we heard how the former president apparently reacted to today's proceedings. he was the one i guess to replace the legal team days ago. does that reaction surprise you? >> no, it doesn't. i mean, one of the things i tweeted during these proceedings was there is going to be one guy in palm beach, florida who will be very, very unhappy at what he was saying, particularly mr. caster who had no, nothing to say that was co-haerent and saying it in a way. nothing in there that was either compelling from a legal standpoint and importantly for the president, for the former president engaging from a television standpoint. so he was never going to like that, and the reporting that we've just heard is not surprising at all. >> is it just that he can't attract descent -- i mean, you know, great lawyers that he, you know, doesn't pay them -- >> he can't. he can't. he always had trouble attracting great lawyers, and 2017, in fact, he done consulted with me

george conway, good to have you on the program again. new congress has been in session for almost a month. what is it to say republicans can't decide if they're the party of liz cheney and mitt romney and donald trump and marjorie taylor greene? >> i think we're watching, if it hasn't happened already the moral collapse of the republican party and this is a product of four years of people who knew better being silent about donald trump who himself was a conspiracy theorists who told 30,000 lies in office, who talked about ridiculous fake miracle cures like for covid who pretended like covid would go away and told the biggest lie of all that result in violence, the big election lie that he had actually won the election by a landslide but he was cheated out of it and, you know, in the last three months of his term, he tried to destroy, i mean, this is what the impeachment is about and he tried to destroy constitutional democracy in the united states of america. and through all of that republicans were largely silent and didn't call him out

that's not only a violation of privacy but conway said it may violate federal law., saying he wants to make room for a female board member. he said he didn't know about the allegations and he detests john weaver because he remembers the shame and depression he felt at age 13 when a camp medic touched him inappropriately. the lincoln project has now called for an outside investigation which is badly needed. but how much interest will that generate among some media outlets which were mainly invested in the group's efforts to oust donald trump? and an underdate on a story we've been following, dean mckay says he regrets a deadline mistake when he said intent doesn't matter in using racial slurs, this after a veteran reporter was pushed out over the using the n word with a group of students. of course, intent matters when we're talking about language in journalism, said mckay who acted against mcneil after 150 staffers signed a protest letter. the n word, says the paper's first african-american editor, is a vile one. i've been called it. it appears in our pages and will
