yesterday, the ap got ahold of majeski's military records, which indicated that, majeski, quote, neverhanistan. it's actual military service appears to just be a six month stint helping to load planes at an airbase in qatar, a longtime u.s. ally, very far from what most people would call a tough combat tour. both the cook political report and politico rated this race as a toss-up. republicans thought they could win it and we're putting their full weight behind majewski until today. axios reports that the national republican congressional committee has canceled all of its ad buys for jerry majeski. i'm not sure if lying about your military service is a red line for the republican party or they just decided it was a hurdle that majewski would be overcome. but this is very good news for democrats marcy captor and democrats in house overall. that does it for us tonight. we will see you again tomorrow. now it's time for the last word with him in more hygiene, in for lawrence. good evening, my friend. >> alice, it's good to see. here i was gonna say quickly, i don't think republicans have

which indicated that, majeski, quote, never deployed to afghanistan. it's actual military service appears to just be a six month stint helping to load planes at an airbase in qatar, a longtime u.s. ally, very far from what most people would call a tough combat tour. both the cook political report and politico rated this race as a toss-up. republicans thought they could win it and we're putting their full weight behind majewski until today. axios reports that the national republican congressional committee has canceled all of its ad buys for jerry majeski. i'm not sure if lying about your military service is a red line for the republican party or they just decided it was a hurdle that majewski would be overcome. but this is very good news for democrats marcy captor and democrats in house overall. that does it for us tonight. we will see you again tomorrow. now it's time for the last word with him in more hygiene, in for lawrence. good evening, my friend. >> alice, it's good to see. here i was gonna say quickly, i don't think republicans have any more re

this week, associated press said that majeski appeared to lie about the nature of his military service, calling himself a combat veteran, claiming to have served in afghanistan when, in reality, at least according to the ap, he was deployed to qatar, hundreds of miles away, where he loaded, and unloaded planes for the air force. house republicans, essentially, dropping majeski, cutting off advice on his behalf, meaning, democrats may hold that seat, or, at least, have a better shot, despite republican gerrymandering. there are a lot of bad republican candidates running the cycle. meaning, all hope may not be lost for voters, who do not want to see a market takeover of congress. congressman david cicilline, democrat of rhode island, served in congress for over a decade isn't, impeachment manager in the second trial of donald trump, and joins me right now. congressman, how do you think about a future in which kevin mccarthy wields the gavel as speaker of the house, and your republican colleagues control the body that you know serve? >> well, i think it would be, obviously, very alarming

funny enough, majeski was at the capitol on january six, and it's something we've known about for monthsans are okay with you being a house insurrectionist overturning the government. but lying about military service, darn, that is where we draw the line. [laughs] >> [laughs] because they do not have any values. this is the thing, they really have zero moral compass, right? they have no consciousness. everything to them is about holding power by any means necessary. and let's be really clear about who they are holding power for. it is four white nationalists. it's four white non-. it's for the patriarchy. it's for white supremacy. so, yeah, all of those things are what they believe the military stands for. so certainly, do not be a stain on the military by lying about your record there. but you can go ahead and throw all these people under the bus and you can support trying to kill nancy pelosi, were down for that. yeah, they're completely crazy. and i do believe it should ultimately be illegal that, you know, you have these people who are spewing this kind of vitriol, these kind of lies

fun funny enough, majeski was at the capitol on january six, and it's something we've known about forths, so house republicans are okay with you being an insurrectionist trying to overturn our government but lying about your military service? darn, that is where we draw the line. >> they just don't have any values, this is the thing! they really have zero moral compass. they have no consciousness. everything to them is about holding power by any means necessary. let's be really clear about who they're holding power for. it's for white nationalists, four white men, it's for the patriarchy,'s for white supremacy. yes, all of those things are what they believe the military stands for, so certainly don't be a stain on the military by lying about a record there, he can go ahead and throw all these people under the bus and you can support trying to kill nancy pelosi. we are down with that. they are completely crazy, and i do believe it should be legal that then we had these people spewing these kind of the terrell analyze, actually in charge of anything. >> jason it looks like the republica

ninth congressional district the committee seems to be losing jr majeski, pulling their ads.election denier. he was also at the capitol on january six. he has shared pro qanon material and is running against a congresswoman who has been in office nearly 40 years. how is this playing out, margaret? >> it's playing out for a much smaller margin that senator mccarthy is likely to have is in his majority. it's still likely that republicans will still have the house of representatives. but kevin mccarthy was hoping for a 40% majority in the house of representatives, and that keeps ticking down. they put out million dollars of ads in somebody in a trump plus three district in ohio that should have been a walk away race. and instead they've got this, by the way, your question was, is candidate quality what mitch mcconnell was talking about when he said this? you just talked about members the people running for house. he was talking about the senate. >> but i thought he was talking about candidates in general. >> to the point, there's still gonna hold the house. maybe not the senate.

. >> nonetheless, jarred majeski doesn't have access to -- i'm sure democrats in ohio celebrating. >> we'll see how that turns. out alex, it's good to see my. friend thank you so. much we're gonna talk about democracy tonight because the r of history is long, but it bends towards justice, and it's good to remember that quote tonight because there have been many days in recent memory that it has not felt like we are bending towards justice. joe biden wins an election, donald trump and republicans just can't claim he didn't. trump incites an insurrection at the capitol, five weeks later, he's acquitted by republican senators. in may, it is reported that the wife of the longest serving supreme court justice is encouraging republicans to overthrow the election. and nothing happens. next month, clarence thomas votes to take away constitutional right, the right-wing project of the last decades, it's achieved, donald trump walks off from what he brought to one of his golf courses. it doesn't feel so just. it's frustrating. but tonight, the justice department has the classified documents seiz
