. >> reporter: drawn support from unlikely quarters, grover nor quist, the fraternal order of police,ional sheriff's association and nearly a dozen other police organizations have all put their support behind her. gupta and clarke are two nominees of color who have faced difficult paths to nomination in a narrowly divided senate, leading to accusations they're being targeted because of their race or gender. senator tom cotton, a republican, pushed back on that suggestion today. >> oppose the nomination of a woman or a racial minority on the merits without being racist or sexist? >> yes. >> whether it's president bill clinton, president obama or president biden, this phenomenon of blocking these nominees dates back some 30 years. many of them have ties to the naacp's legal defense fund, an organization, as you know, founded by thoroughgood marshall, former supreme court justice. a lot of people watching this say it seems to indicate that speaking frankly about race will be held against you if you're up for one of these civil rights posts and it calls into question whether things have c

the most worrisome part which grover mentioned at the beginning of his presentation is that conservativestually as supportive as the general public was when they read the neutral description of hr1. >> that audio was obtained by "the new yorker." audio from strategy session among leaders of big money conservative groups to figure out how to stop the bill sitting in the senate right now that would protect voter rights nationwide. in addition, that bill would overhaul campaign finance law to essentially plug the flowing faucet of dark unaccountable money in american politics. it has been a life source in republican politics these past couple of decades. it has paid to help republicans enact billionaire-approved policies all over the country with billionaire derived money that they never have to disclose. that was the point of the meeting you heard the audio from. big money conservative groups message tested ways to convince republican voters that the voting rights bill is bad, right. they are hoping negative public opinion against the voter rights bill will take the bill. what they found wh

i think it was only grover cleveland who managed the win the white house, lose it, and win it back. not sure that will happen with trump. the capitol riots were of course in the news today with the fbi director testifying. so what is your take on a trump presidential run? >> i think with biden and his party moving far left you're going to see republicans take back the house and the senate in 2022. we'll have a speaker kevin mccarthy i predict in 22 and i think if trump chooses to run he will win in 24 or another republican. because the truth of the matter is, the truth, the truth is is that the democrat coalition is fracturing. you're seeing it now. it is very hard to govern when you're pushing the country this far left. as their coalition fractures, people see socialism they're pushing, people come to the republican party. we'll come back, we're going to come back big in 22 and 24. remember we only lost by less than 100,000 votes nationally at all levels of government. so this was a razor thin election, liz. it was won partly because joe biden campaigned as a moderate. elizabeth: e

we haven't seen this and since grover cleveland gave it a shot.tory can repeat itself. >> greg: that is true and it's a good point. cancel culture is like the frankenstein monster of political correctness. it seems like a logical extension for trump. katie, he won the cpac poll handily. i didn't even come in a close second. >> katie: i didn't see you on the list, greg. so sorry. cpac is the conservative political action caucus, the place where conservatives go to get involved and figure out how they can make a difference when it comes to forwarding conservative values. i thought when president trump talked about fighting against the left and focusing on the energy on that, it's important any talked about the power republicans do have an states to go after big tech and work on things like censorship at the local level. and then of course he talked about 2022 and 2024. he gave people kind of an assignment to go out and fight against -- remain focused on the things they are doing to not let them rewrite the history of the trump administration, of the
