consider his work for jesse helms' 1990 senate campaign. we all know helms' record on race. when the justice department brought a lawsuit against the helms' campaign for sending over 100,000 postcards to mostly african american voters, falsely warning them that they were ineligible to vote and could be prosecuted for casting a ballot, it was mr. farr who defended the scheme. yet despite serving as the helms' campaign attorney, farr denied having any involvement with the postcards in his senate question -- questionnaire. mr. farr claimed he did not, quote, participate in any meetings in which the postcards were discussed before they were sent. but according to the former head of the justice department's civil rights division, gerald hebert, the answers in farr's questionnaires are contrary to the facts. mr. hebert took contemporaneous notes while investigating the helms campaign, notes that placed mr. farr at a meeting on the postcard scheme just three weeks before they were sent. years later, farr led a three-year legal battle to defend north carolina's law that disgracefull

ellis began pushing helms to run for political office. and when helms ran for senate in 1972, mr. ellis managed his campaign to victory against great odds. over the next 30 years, ellis served as a key advisor and close confidant for senator helms. a short time after helms' 1972 victory, mr. ellis put his innovative and entrepreneurial mind to work, creating the national congressional club, which was a nationwide conservative fundraising machine that built senator helms into one of the most well-known senators in the country. mr. ellis' revolutionary direct mail fundraising practices raised an estimated $100 million for helms, as well as a host of conservative figures and causes. mr. ellis' most significant contribution, however, to the course of american history, came in 1976, when he played a key role in rescuing ronald reagan's political career. with all-important north carolina primary around the corner, then governor reagan's presidential bid was floundering. and was about to fail. mr. ellis stepped in, he took command of the campaign, and led reagan to a crucial victory in t

back in 1990, thomas farr was the lead lawyer for former senator jesse helms' election campaign.that campaign, the department of justice filed a complaint against the helms campaign and the north carolina republican party for sending over 100,000 postcards largely targeting black voters. the doj said the intent of the postcards was to suggest black voters were not eligible and to discourage them from going to the polls. farr denies knowledge of the postcards, saying he attended a meeting about ballot security. farr also worked on defending a 2013 voter i.d. law, which included a controversial provision requiring residents to show i.d. before they could cast a ballot. it also eliminated same-day voter registration and voting on sundays, a day where black voters show up to polls in significantly greater numbers than white ones. in its ruling, one of the federal appeals judges wrote this. he said, the general assembly enacted legislation that restricted voting and registration in five different ways, all of which disproportionately affected african-americans. after a federal judge i

he defended jesse helms. it was a lawsuit where jesse helms' campaign sent 125,000 postcards to african american communities telling them they would be arrested for voter fraud at their polling place. imagine the terror in many cases in the eyes of those voters -- those african american voters that saw those postcards telling them they could be arrested for voter fraud at their polling places. of course many of them would not vote, which is exactly what jesse helms and thomas farr wanted to -- wanted to happen. to put this man as a judge is a disgrace. president obama elected two african american women to serve on this court. this body, under the leadership of the gentleman down the hall, under the republican leader mcconnell, they did not get a hearing. now they want to put this man on the bench after a choice of over a decade of two african american, they wanted to put a moon the bench who led with voter suppression. they want to put that kind of judge in that seat. it's a throwback to the worst moments of

a new zeitgeist everybody is talking about it and so are we and arts twenty one special with karen helm stat at doj of l a global media font in bonn round two.

. >> not only did ellie kemper make an appearance, but so did ed helms, and jenna fischer, all trying to make the reboot happen. did it work? >> feels like everybody wants this to happen. do you guys want to see an "office" reboot? is that what's going on here? come up on stage. no. not you. you're not part of this. all right. i am proud to announce, officially, that we have a great show tonight. >> what a tease. we'll just have to keep our

voters in north carolina this began in the eighties and nineties when he was counseled for the jesse helms campaign. with the mayor of charlotte. and to african-american voters. with the north carolina g.o.p. with a ballot security program. this program included sending more than 120,000 postcards to african-american voters almost exclusively to say they are required to live in the precinct that they would vote for at least 30-- prior to the election. and subjected to criminal prosecution if they did not specifically the postcard says providing false information that the information on the postcard was false and clearly designed to decrease turnout but the questions for the record i asked this monash mr. farr about the program he said he did not provide counsel and was not aware of the postcards until they were sent but the press reports have indicated mr. farr was involved and engaged in the postcard strategy. so former prosecutor working on voting rights issues told reporters that those statements were false and since then mr. farr has remained active in an effort to dilute african-ameri

farr was a lawyer for helms' campaign and scott said this in a statement. this is what he said.s week a department of justice memo written under president george h.w. bush was released that shed new light on mr. farr's activities. this in turn created more concerns. weighing these important factors this afternoon, i concluded that i could not support mr. farr's nomination." does that send a message, tara? i'm going to let you jump in but does that send a message to other republicans that some lines just cannot be crossed? >> i mean, i would hope so. we've seen a lot of krielines crossed in the last couple years in this trump era, and i think it's starting to culminate. i mean, if this nomination had happened in a vacuum and we didn't have what just happened in mississippi with this racist now senator that just got elected to mississippi and the president supporting her, if what didn't happen with the president and his attacks on black female journalists, and i mean the list is pretty long with the racial insensitivity. charlottesville. good people on both sides. all of those thi

helms campaign had to sign a consent decree.that signed the consent decree for the helms campaign was thomas farr. thomas farr went on to a long prolific career in north carolina, developing and implementing some of the most racially-specific voter suppressive techniques ever seen in this country. and that guy is now sweating it as he wait s to see if he can get the votes he needs to be confirmed. maybe the senate not getting around to thomas farr today was no big deal. maybe they'll get to it tomorrow. but there is a lot of pressure on this farr nomination and it is tonight looking a lot wobblier than this time yesterday. so watch this space. that does it for us tonight. we'll see you tomorrow. it's time for the last word with lawrence o'donnell. good evening, lawrence. >> good evening, rachel. and the mueller investigation has taken so many twists and turns today. but the paul manafort dual cooperation, cooperating allegely with the special prosecutor, cooperating with the trump lawyers at the same time. no one saw that coming

and although it's not uncommon to see women at the helm in european politics today take a wider view and you'll see the struggle for total equality is still far from over . you know his chief political editor mckay the justice minister cut in a bali for her thoughts on one hundred years of women's suffrage here in germany mr barly one hundred years of women suffered how difficult is it still for women in politics today. it is still not as.

and, finally, farr was a lawyer for the reelection campaign of jesse helms, senator helms, and may well have had pre-knowledge of a mailer sent over-wellcomeing to -- overwhelmingly to black voters with the purpose of intimidating them from voting. partisanship should not matter in this debate. voting rights is sacred. it is part of our soil on which the tree of democracy is nurtured. and it shouldn't be a democratic issue or a republican issue. taking away the voting rights of americans, of whatever race, creed, or color, of whatever party, of whatever region, is a despicable act. it cuts against the very thing that generations of soldiers have died for -- the right of democracy, the right to vote. every senator here, including our republican friends, should be disturbed that mr. farr has been involved, often directly, in multiple attempts to disenfranchise minority voters. what sticks in the craw is we're voting on mr. farr only because republican senators, when we democrats, when we were in the majority, still respected the blue slip, and they blocked two nominees, both african ameri

farr served as the top lawyer to senator helms at the time. he appears to have misled congress about his role in that bray discern voter -- that brazen voter suppression scheme. i recall very well both of them said -- in fact, when senate judiciary members asked mr. farr what he knew about or provided any counsel on the decision to send these postcards, mr. farr said he hadn't learned about their existence until after they were mailed out. a former d.o.j. official stated mr. farr definitely knew about the postcards before they were sent out and that mr. farr's response to congress was just plain contrary to the facts. setting aside this outrageous attempt at voter suppression, each senator in this chamber should care whether a president's nominee tells the truth. if the nominee won't tell us the truth, especially when they're under oath, they're unfit to take another oath, the oath of judicial office. mr. farr's embrace of voter suppression appears only to have grown after his work on the helms campaign. in 2013 he chose to defend north caroli

their singular argument has always been we cannot take back the majority with nancy pelosi at the helm and here they have just taken back majority. all the support you are seeing around pelosi is not so much the people disagree they need new leadership at the top, everybody agrees that needs to happen sooner than later, including pelosi, but their argument has been undermined by the fact that pelosi won them back the house and did so while -- by raking in $135 million to get these people elected. andade it a lot tougher given pelosi a boost. the insurgents are small, but they have dug in. if they can demonstrate she cannot get the votes on the floor of the house, they will claim victory today. host: how many have to peel off to make that happen? guest: good question. there are 16 insurgents on that letter. no's againsttain pelosi. there are outstanding races yet to be called. of 15, 16, 17rea if they can peel off those on the house floor to vote against or rather than voting present or doing some trick that would help her and then there are republicans saying maybe we would help and tr

jade helm was a space operations exercise, not any really big deal but russian botnets, russian trolls, the atright media in the united states, began to build what they were seeing up to a clear obama administration plan to round up political opponents of the administration, and there were stories coming out of texas, of abandoned womans being turn into concentration camps and box cars transiting the state with leg irons bolted to floor of the box car. good at so bad that's the governor of texas has to call owl the state guard, voluntary military organization, under the texas military department, to look at the feds to reassure the texas population that there was nothing interesting to see here. so, with that in mind i think the, wheres decided we can do the election. and i just need to repeat. the intelligence community assessment, is that the russians messed with our heads, using informational means, number one to mess with our heads, number two to punish hillary clinton whom putin despises, to weaken the inevitable president clinton and then worked ward to push votes in direction of

donald trump makes jesse helms -- remember jesse helms in the race against harvey gant in 1990 and howgeorge h.w. bush with willie horton or ronald reagan seven miles outside philadelphia where people were killed? people have always engaged in dog whistles and racially coded speech. donald trump is just appealing explicitly to the ugliness. our leaders aren't going to do this. tone is not enough. that's just trying to put the genie back in the bottle. we have to imagine america differently. we have to be different if we're actually going to be open up the future to our children and our children's children. >> it's not just imagining it, we can be different every single day by opening our hearts and minds and caring about our neighbors, even those who don't share our views. i want to play a bit of what the president had to say in missouri last night. >> i will tell you, we have gotten tremendous numbers, tremendous numbers of republicans are going out to vote. now, we did have two maniacs stop our momentum that was incredible, because for seven days nobody talked about the elections. it

but it's also -- this is also the guy who sat with jesse helms to come up with a plan to send out postcards to african-american voters telling them that they might be arrested if they showed up to vote in one of senator helm's elections. he has a long, long history of essentially leading efforts to try to keep african-americans from the polls. i would hope that he does not have the votes tomorrow to actually get to final passage, even if he just limped across the procedural finish line today. >> it's still an open question? >> i think it's absolutely an open question. again, probably sits on the shoulders of tim scott. i wish it wasn't his burden to bear. but he's got a tough decision to make tonight. >> i should note that two black women were nominated by barack obama, president obama, both were blocked with republicans. that yemen vote today was remarkable. 63-37, again, procedural. what do you think the significance of what happened today, what happened there? >> well, you know, this is the fourth vote that we've taken over the past three years to try to put an end to the u.s. participat
