the rhetoric that you heard, by the way, at the rally, not just from president trump, but from madison hawthorne brooks, even a gubernatorial candidate from here, amanda chase from virginia, you're looking at this rhetoric and then you go and use that baseline of disinformation to object to the electors and then scream about it on the floor, that we have to fight, things like that. and i know kevin. a friend of mine. but, by the way, you voted to object to the electors. you bought into this. this was the wreck that we said, the stop the steal, the fund-raising that you've seen everywhere on this. and it's been constant. this has been constant for months. this is fear of losing careers now. now you have people worried about what's going to happen in '22. the republicans were on a high after the house wins, but now it seems like they've won awfully. that was the fear i had, that disinformation would rip apart the fabric of one major party because they believe in nonsense. and if nonsense is driving decision making, which you've seen from the top down for so long now, what happens is you have this,

madison hawthorne is another one that brags about carrying guns inside the house chamber. do you feel safe with them around you? >> joy, i served ten years in the state legislature in texas, and i am now in my fifth term in the u.s. house of representatives. and this is the first time for me where you certainly have a new class of people who are so far out there, lauren boebart, the new representative from new york i want to say -- >> colorado. >> colorado, i apologize, i believe that she tweeted or somehow communicated 1776 as though this was a revolution of some kind. and so these folks who are -- who believe in a conspiracy theory of qanon are just basically not tethered to reality, living in an alternative reality. yes, that is dangerous. >> and, lastly, tom rice, who is a republican who voted for one of the -- one of the ten republicans who voted in favor of impeachment, cited the president's inaction during the siege as being the reason he is going to support, and he supported, in fact, impeaching him. do you think that that might be laying a groundwork for convictio

many of the any members of congress, lauren bogert, madison hawthorne.ponderance of the party are political operators that recognize that they need these people's support. they see these people as the base of the party. rand paul said, i think, yesterday, that if he voted for impeachment, if they convict donald trump, a third of the party will leave. and here's the thing, rand paul's probably right about that. that's the political calculation there. a lot of these folks feel stuck. they are not a courageous bunch. and so they're not going to stand up to this mob. and i think that's the state of play. >> hayes, mitch mcconnell has been telling senators and donors that the decision on whether or not to convict trump is theirs alone. what does it mean that republican leadership, mcconnell, isn't working to hold senators in line on this? >> i actually think it's a good thing. i think that is a great thing that mitch mcconnell is not trying to whip this, trying to say that, look, it's important to the party that we all stick together the way that he did with

them beginning to criticize the president's actions, including the newly elected congressman madison hawthorne. here's what he said yesterday. >> he never should have directed that crowd toward the capitol building. there was, that outcome was destined at that point. >> and we should note that cawthorn himself spoke. >> and tell us what we should expect to see in the next 36 hours or so. and if some republicaned voted to impeach the president. >> well, the lack of self-reflection there from the young congressman is a bit stunning. and we're seeing a lot of that on capitol hill. very little responsibility being taken by any individual member from the republican party for anything that transpired last wednesday, or in the lead-up to it. that aside, there is at least some acknowledgement among republican lawmakers now the president needs to be held accountable, in some way for what happened on wednesday. for this attempted insurrection. there's some talk to the hill that there could be as many as 10 to 20 house republicans who might support impeachment. a broader question when it gets to the sena
