marjorie taylor greene obviously, based on her comments then, knows better. that the comparisons to the holocaust are completely inappropriate and terrible, but she's doing it anyway because she also knows that there are no consequences when it comes to republican leadership. >> and, bill, so it's greene's latest comments about the holocaust, but we're also learning about former president trump's comments as well. according to an upcoming book by "wall street journal" reporter michael bender, then president trump allegedly praised hitler during a discussion with his white house chief of staff, john kelly, in 2018. trump reportedly said, and i quote, hitler did a lot of good things. so, bill, of course a trump spokeswoman denies he said that. who would admit to having said that. can you just talk about that for a moment, that such a thing could have been said and why you think those comments are different from greene's nazi comments? >> just one more word on greene. she needs to apologize to the people who work at the cdc, the people who work in public health,

that's a role >>> so you're not going to take medical advice from marjorie taylor greene.llius. if not vaccine mandates, at least encouraging some businesses or public place to require them. she says, quote, i'm trying to restrain myself but i've kind of had it. we're going to tip toe around mandates. come on, i'm kind of over that. i want to make sure people i deal with don't have it so i don't transmit it to my granddaughter. >>> so, why not encourage, if not governments to mandate it, then some businesses at least require it? >> some businesses, entities will do that. that's their choice to make. we feel our role from here is to provide public health advice, make sure we have the supply available, work with local communities to make sure that people have access and are using best practices. that's the role we can play. but she's right that there are a lot of private sector companies and organizations that will mandate it. >> you could encourage it. >> i don't think that's our role, john. and, looking at the end of the day what we can do from here is it what we've alread

if we talk about disingenuous or misleading information, i don't think marjorie taylor greene would evernformation pathway of why january 6 happened. i do believe there's going to be a lot of hyperbole and disinformation. marjorie plays into that. twitter is a fundraising tool for her, not going on twitter and saying give me money, but using twitter as a foil, it's just something she does very well. here's the thing, she capital isis on stupidity brilliantly because she believes it. and that's just something she's very good at. >> that was a generous way of putting it. there is a more direct way, but go on. >> when i heard it in the back of my head, it came out worse than i thought, a little more brutal. twitter is a great thing for her fundraising because she's going to make money. >> i hope the heads of the social media companies are listening. they're doing it on purpose, if you give them a light sentence or kick them off temporarily, it only helps them. kirsten, i'll give you the last word. >> think about how different our world would have been if they had banned donald trump a long

marjorie taylor greene tweeting this.ing a vaccine not fda approved, shows covid is a political tool used to control people. people have a choice. they don't need your medical brown shirts showing up at your door ordering vaccinations. you can't force people to be part of the human experiment. a lot of reaction to that some of which was sean patrick malonely who said marjorie taylor greens comparison to nazi he is because she knows there is no real consequences from kevin kmaerlgt for tom em. they have been nothing but complicit and could you ardly in the face of racism and anti-smivtism. there are all kinds of questions about leader mccarthy's capability to deal with the radical members there in the conference. do you get the sense that at some point he is going to have to offer more than words? in his defense his spokesman did come out and say there is no place for racism in discourse or society. but the fact that there has been no reprimand publicly and that this continues would show that -- that mccarthy -- some will

marjorie taylor greene echoed a conservative talking point that twitter violates her first amendment rights. that is not a good constitutional argument but she does have a vote in congress. >>> it wasn't always us. it was a few years ago politicians tried to curry favor with companies like facebook and high-tech executives found places in the white house and white house officials found new jobs in high tech. >>> some criticism for jeff bezos. even as he gave hundreds of millions to charity, spending so much on space, he spent around $1 billion a year out of his personal fortune, not everyone was enamored with his rocket launch yesterday, sending himself and three other people to the edge of space and back. some criticism has to do with the fact that he doesn't pay income nor did amazon which is a problem with our tax code. we taxbe

>> so, antony aguero is a close friend and ally of marjorie taylor greene, before she was elected to congress, they actually did lots of events together, traveled to the border together, did events where they went to the offices of members of congress together. and as his -- he's a conservative youtuber and he actually operates along the border pretty frequently. now, a group of conservative members of congress went to see the border on late tuesday night. they went to an area that migrants frequently use to cross into the united states, and aguero was actually able to accompany them on this trip. it's not clear exactly how he ended up there. he wasn't at a press briefing before. but he, you know, was there with members of congress. he actually serves as a translator for many of them when speaking to migrants. he interviewed many of the reps, and many of the instances, a member of congress actually even drove in his truck. >> and we're talking about those

yesterday marjorie taylor green echoed a conservative talking point that twitter violates her rights. that's not a good constitutional argument but she does have a vote in congress. it wasn't always us. a few years ago poll trigss tried to curry favor with companies like facebook and high-tech executives found places in the white house and white house officials found new jobs in high tech. some criticism for jeff bezos. you probably read it for spending so much money on space. estimates are he spends around a billion dollars a year out of his personal fortune, even though he donates hundreds of millions to charity, not everybody enamored with his rocket launch, sending himself and three others to the edge of space and back down again. was that money wasted. people asked on social media. but, here's the thing. you can't spend money in space. every cent he spent was spent on

this is a fund-raising activity for marjorie taylor greene. a lot of people aren't looking at twitter that she's talking to right now, so she can put out a fund-raising email or go digital that says the far left is censuring me again. they're canceling me. if we talk about misleading information, i don't think marjorie taylor greene would ever be on twitter, right? but it also goes back to the commission too. listening to kirsten, here's the deal. we should be looking at the disinformation pathway on why january 6th happened. i think there's a correct thing here where you have two members who i really like that got selected to this. but i do believe there's going to be a lot of hyperbole and disinformation. and i think that marjorie sort of plays into that. all these individuals do. but really twitter is a fund-raising tool for her, not exactly how you think, not going on twitter and saying give me money, but using twitter as a foil. it's just something she does very well. here's the thing. you know, she capitalizes on stupidity brilliantly be

cpac over the weekend and now she's been sparring on twitter about her identity congresswoman marjorie taylorues her campaign for california governor, her candidacy is dividing conservatives split over her transgender identity. over the weekend, jenna was heckled during an appearance at the conservative political action conference and this week, congressman marjorie taylor greene piled on further, calling jenner a man in a dress. >> while we oppose kendall jenner's campaign we will not stay quiet on the anti-trans attacks against her. >> reporter: equality california is supporting governor newsom in the recall election but immediately came to jenner's defense. >> the hateful and ignorant comments we saw at cpac from marjorie taylor greene are not comments anymore, they're being legislated across the country and none of us should be silent when we hear this kind of transphobia. >> reporter: according to the human rights campaign, 2021 has been a recordbrki arr anti-tnsl the country. kendall jenner's candidacy is further highlighting divisions in the republican party on lgbtq rights. >> what yo

it is firmly on the side of the marjorie taylor greene, the lauren boebert and others who are pushing is not so much about just about trumpism any more. it is also about the sort of anti-pc culture, pushing the envelope in all of the different ways and the mccarthy knows if he alienates those members of congress, he alienates those supporters an he's clearly unwilling to do that but in doing so he's emboldened marjorie taylor greene as you saw when we she went back to her nazi comparisons because there is no desire in republican leadership to punish her for it. >> so abby, this is essentially projecting that the republican playbook going into the 2022 midterms of obstructing joe biden's agenda, mining the culture wars for anti--pc sentiments minute base and trying to pass voting restrictions based on the big lie. is this any other pathway for republicans to win other than essentially embracing trumpism that way? >> well, i mean, as you point the out, none of the things that you mention involve republicans talking about their policy ideas or ideology for how they want to governor an i

but what marjorie taylor greene has down goes outside the realm of acceptable and normal political and policy disagreements. whether it's calling for violence against her fellow members or actively harassing and bullying her fellow members herself, i actually introduced a censure resolution earlier in the year after we saw that marjorie taylor greene had made a lot of calls for violence against elected lawmakers prior to coming to congress. and at that time minority leader mccarthy said that he didn't want to judge her on what she had done prior to congress, but rather what she was doing in congress. and i think it's clear that her behavior has not only continued, but escalated since then. and for a lot of us, the last straw was when she went to the rally and started getting the crowd all amped up and chanting about committing violence against one of our colleagues. that to me is simply unacceptable. we all deserve to have a workplace free of harassment where we can work without fear for our safety. >> this is also happening while congress still has work to do to get things done. you a

this gets down to not so much marjorie taylor greene but the fact that kevin mccarthy is such a weak republican leader. they laugh in his face. he can't stop marjorie taylor greene from invoking the holocaust at the most inopportune, disgusting times. he is a republican leader in name only. the only reason he is there is because he is a proxy and a figurehead for donald trump. >> it sure seems that way. and, you know, getting back to what you were saying about matt schlapp, it seems he and kevin mccarthy have the same problem, they cannot control what is going on in that party. april ryan, amanda carpenter, thanks so much for being with us this afternoon, great to see both of you. hope you have a great weekend. >>> coming up, clearing up the confusion over coronavirus booster shots. pfizer suggested we needed them this year. but the cdc and fda say nope, not yet. so what's really going on here? the answer is next. you're live in "the cnn newsroom." air wick our essential mist transforms fragrance infused with natural essential oils into a mist. to awaken your home with an experience

i mean, the democrats did strip marjorie taylor green of committee assignments. she is vocal still. nithese tactics? >> not that much leverage. it's more the public platform. and so when she says -- when she and others go way too far where it's unsustainable for him to stand by and just let her be unchallenged, then he is forced to speak out. and issue a press statement. but he does not want this headache. obviously if you talk to him privately he would be abhorrent at a lot of this stuff. but these are public elected officials. what they say publicly, that's most important. you know, he wants to focus on the biden -- he wants to focus on stopping the biden agenda, not talking about policing his own caucus. >> speaking of the biden agenda, there was this executive order that president biden signed yesterday, really targeting dominant companies in tech and manufacturing. there are 72 initiatives in it. it's been dubbed ambitious, dubbed striking. is this, do you think, a -- well will it be seen as a way to redefine what capitalism is? >> i think that's the hope. and many people on th

marjorie taylor greene is in georgia.trying to get attention. marjorie taylor greene doesn't have committee assignments back in congress, gaetz is under federal prosecution. so they're doing rallies. i can just see them fundraising off of this. i think for them this is just going to feed into their narrative that the left is canceling them. unfortunately as we have seen with the fundraising reports, being extreme and being outrageous san effective fundraising tool. >> to be sure. we saw their supporters take to the streets after the cancel cancellations. is that why these cancellations are a political benefit to them, not just the fundraising numbers but raises their notoriety? >> in some ways makes them martyrers. you saw their supporters rallying in the streets. they have been on twitter talking about this. for them, it's no skin off their backs. >> liberals say orange county kind of pretty purple, historically conservative, and they cancelled on them, but maybe they want to watch what they're saying. may not be all bad

only matt gaetz and marjorie taylor greene have jockeyed for this position.ll appoint anyone at all and who that might be. as you mention, jim, nancy pelosi, the house speaker does get veto power over his five appointments, so that remains to be seen. he said yesterday when he's ready to make an announcement he will. but privately we know that he has told house gop members if they accept a pelosi offer to serve on the committee, that he will strip them of their committee assignments. that's exactly what congresswoman liz cheney did yesterday when she accepted nancy pelosi's offer to serve on that house committee, on the house select committee. cheney is telling reporters, jim, it is her oath to the constitution that she is following here, that she has not been told she'll be stripped of any committee assignment. as it stands now, we'll wait on leader mccarthy who that might be. >> we know stripping assignments is the same penalty republicans had for former representative steve king for publicly defending white supremacy. remarkable equivalency. thank you very

that's why marjorie taylor greene and matt gaetz are champing at the bit.p, besides liz cheney and kwe have to know that since the war of 1812 happened there is not any inclination that seriousness on the part of the gop to find this out. what it sounds like, they would preserve to pivot. already so much time has passed since this happened. the least congress can do is try to get to the bottom of it, and that's what pelosi said in taking seriously who he appoints. >> i want to pivot the conversation to something i saw in surfside, florida, this week. i was reporting from there. one of the only positive things that we saw emerge from that tragedy is something that president biden pointed out when he was there. bipartisanship. he was side by side of a republican governor ron desantis who has been extremely critical of him, a trump acolyte. does it take a tragedy for republicans to help people? >> i certainly hope so the good thing that people are working together on this. and you and the cnn team have done a tremendous job of toeing the news, but also sharing

you said, i deeply regret we live in a world where i have to respond to marjorie taylor greene. but she's comparing it to naziism. the latest chapter is not encouraging. no one is in danger of asking her to teach a history class or public health class, with the exception of texas. but she did learn one lesson well from the nazis, dangerous propaganda. the outrage is biden suggesting that biden go door to door. it's ministers and neighbors sharing their stories. biden was encouraging to talk to each other about getting vaccinated. if someone looking out for you and listening and talking to you about getting vaccinated is a blow to your liberty when a powerful variant is sweeping through your unvaccinated area, it's time to re-examine what liberty means. our liberty is earned. the burden of enjoying our freedoms is to contribute to the ideals of a country we can be worthy of. you are not. end quote. did you think giving a response like that to a sitting congress person would be necessary? >> well, god love twitter, right? the truth is, no. i think if marjorie taylor greene doesn't

his name is anthony aguerrero, he's a close ally of marjorie taylor greene.utuber who took part in the insurrection. on january 6th he entered the capitol, chanted heave ho along with others and this is our house. we should note that aguerrero has not been charged and the fbi has declined to comment on whether it's investigating him. but now he's traveling around with u.s. lawmakers? we still don't know much in terms of lawmakers in terms of who will make it to investigate the attack. house gop leader kevin mccarthy can fill five seats on the panel. he wouldn't say yesterday whether he will. two gop sources tell cnn they think he will not. as i see it he has three options, pick no one at all, pick someone who opposed certifying biden's win, plenty of those, 139 house republicans voted to overturn the election or a third option, pick a republican who didn't help push the big lie. but that would be going against most of his own party. speaker pelosi won't say if she would veto any of mccarthy's picks. let's find out what ron brownstein and charlie dent foresee.

there's no point in rehabbing someone like marjorie taylor greene. she's not a rehab project.'s a tear down. get rid of it. and try to save your party. that is not a calculation kevin mccarthy has had the courage to make. he has decided that keeping her and her base happy is more important than calling out what is very clearly, you know, obvious to the rest of us, as insane and, you know, white nationalism, antia anti-semitiss keeping her happy. >> like the president critical of trump, he's clearly backed off there. i wonder, does kevin mccarthy have the respect of his party? either side, if you want to call it that within the pauerrty, th more moderates versus the greenes of the world. >> greene, matt gaetz is a child predator, boebert. they have one master and the master is trump. mccarthy doesn't compare. the tisk-tisk game hasn't done much to silence any of these people. they are listening to trump and trump voters. and so whatever they are saying has trumped whatever kevin mccarthy is trying to do. he's been a very ineffective leader both on this side of it, you know, hop

and if you don't want to get vaccinated, marjorie taylor greene, by all means, don't get vaccinated,t make sure that you don't poison other people by essentially telling them that their political identity is caught up in a medical decision. this is a decision that makes sense for americans, if they learn the information. they need to make this decision for themselves, with their doctors, not with political interference. >> so you brought up marjorie taylor greene. you took to twitter last week saying, quote, i deeply regret that we live in a world where i have to respond to marjorie taylor greene. but alas, you knocked down her, frankly, ridiculous comments that the biden door to door campaign was like medical brown shirts showing up and ordering you to get a shirt. that's an absurd comparison, but do you think it would be more effective to get more skeptical republicans vaccinated if biden wasn't the face of it talking about it publicly and just let these community leaders continue to quietly do their grassroots efforts they've been doing since the spring? >> i think biden is being

i want to say quickly there's no comparison between omar and marjorie taylor greene and matt gaetz solways had people that sometimes do things that upset the leadership. just want to be clear those are not comparisons. >> very good. yeah. in terms of this, no, i think at this point he needs to get rid of the filibuster and there's an idea of the carve out of the filibuster where it is only used when something applies to the constitution. finding some sort of way around with manchin and krysten sinema against getting rid of the filibuster could we do it in the case where it's a crisis for the country and they don't deal with this we're not go to have elections, you know, people are not going to have trust in the electoral process which is basically the end of democracy which we've already seen eroding. he can give as many speeches as he wants but unless he finds a way to pass that bill no way to protect -- >> -- do you see this speech an exercise in futility, how much can his speech change this. democrats have been speaking out about this for quite some time. kirsten. >> i think there'

here is this fascinating story, interesting this attempt to rehab marjorie taylor greene's didn't workthe issue for kevin mccarthy he has taken a soft hand touch when it comes to radical members in his conference. he has not punished him. haul them in and have private meetings with them and learned there's a mentorship program in place where they'll assign senior lawmakers to guide some of the freshman like greene. but it's not working. we have seen these members act out and it's not just greene, there are members in the house republican conference who have spoke at a conference organized by a white nationalist, there are republicans who are suggesting the fbi had something to do with the january 6th insurrection and there are republicans who are essentially defending the rioter who was shot after she stormed the capitol. so, i think for mccarthy it is a question whether this loose parenting style is effective and it's also a huge political risk for him as well because democrats are trying to seize on this, make it a campaign issue in the 2022 midterms. but at the end of the day, the r

meanwhile, other republicans, marjorie taylor greene made the time to hold a news conference today to side with the very same insurrectionists that attacked those police officers. >> these are not dangerous violent criminals. these are political prisoners. >> political prisoners? just to be clear, he's referring to the people that attacked the capitol. people that attacked police and said they would hang mike pence as political prisoners? these republicans all othree of them were kept safe by the police that spoke out today and tonight siding with the political prisoners that stormed the capitol and not demanding answers on behalf of the police officers that they so frequently claimed to champion? >> while democrats talk about defunding the police, we also stand by and support our police officers. >> i rise today to honor the courageous men and women in blue. >> all the of the great men and women in blue, all of the police officers, let's back the blue together. >> i want an america where we support the police. >> they do it because they love america and they love americans and we nee

that's right, today was republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greene's 47th birthday.w about help? and that was a monologue, everybody. we've got a great show for you tonight. he's a golden globe-nominated actor, director, and one of the stars of the very powerful series, "the underground railroad." one of my favorite guests, joel edgerton is going to be joining us and he is the lead political correspondent for "the atlantic." and his book "battle for the soul: inside the democrats' campaign to defeat trump" is out now. edward-isaac dovere will be joining me but before we get to all of that, republicans in arizona are pushing forward with an insane so-called audit of that state's election results, which plans to pursue similar audits in other states that joe biden won. for more on this, it's time for "a closer look." ♪ >> seth: nearly seven months after the 2020 election, republicans are still relitigating the results in a pathetic and dangerous attempt to prove that it was somehow stolen from donald trump it feels like this con is never going to end 40 years from now,

on tuesday, georgia congresswoman, marjorie taylor greene, was asked by a reporter if she had personallyinated, given that she continues to lie and spread dangerous misinformation about covid vaccines >> scalise said that he got vaccinated, citing this delta variant that's going around and he's confident that it's safe and effective. two questions. have you, yourself, gotten vaccinated, and do disagree you with the republican whip >> well, your first question is a violation of my hipaa rights you see with hipaa rights, we don't have to reveal our medical records, and that also involves our vaccine records. >> seth: that's not a thing. a reporter asking you if you've been vaccinated doesn't violate the hipaa rights any more than a neighbor needs a warrant to enter your house for a barbecue. hipaa establishes national standards to protect your medical records. it doesn't stop journalists from asking questions she probably also thinks miranda rights means she doesn't have to visit her friends in manhattan anymore after she moves to brooklyn with steve. "should we just stay in tonight, and w

people said marjorie taylor greene. forget her for a second.m jordan, he's been a thorn in democrats' sides. do you think he will take the investigation sear riously? >> i hope that kevin mccarthy will appoint people who will take this commission and treat it with the seriousness that it deserves. but, you know, we will be guided by the facts, and we will carry on either way. we have a quorum of the committee already, and so we will press forward. but it's our hope that we can do so in a collaborative way and our republican colleagues will work with us to find out what happened on january 6 and to follow the facts and the evidence. >> i'll ask you the same question we just asked george conway a second ago. kevin mccarthy has fought against this tooth and nail. what do you think he's afraid of? >> well, it's quite interesting and, you know, i'm not going to comment on what he is or isn't afraid of. i think the unfortunate part about, you know, the house republican leader is, you know, he wanted a commission that was evenly split. he sent ranking

i'd be surprised if the speaker vetoes any of these. >> let's talk about marjorie taylor green.ed from twitter for sharing misinformation about covid-19. and the only reason i bring her up is she as a freshman member of congress raised $4 million in april. that speaks to how messed up, if i can use that phrase, the incentive structures are right now in congress. >> she's not on any committees anymore. can you mark this down as an inkind contribution from twitter. i guarantee you the minute she's back on twitter if not beforehand, she'll be using this suspension to raise money. there are so many republicans are campaigning openly against the idea of big tech censorship. she will use this to her fund-raising advantage, i'm quite certain. >> the loudest voices in congress seem to be able to raise the most money. good to see you as always. >> thank you. >>> a group of democrats from the texas state house fled their state last week in an effort to block republican law makers from passing new voting restrictions. last night here on msnbc they shared the personal struggles they say the

forth other republican members, although supposedly, only florida congressman matt gaetz and marjorie taylorrats do to make this badly needed investigation feel legitimate to americans on both parties without turning into a political circus that some congressional republicans want to pro vote? >> well, rev, i believe that the investigation is completely necessary. i believe that pelosi's moving forward with good faith, as she did negotiating with the republicans, and that republicans got everything they wanted, mind you, but that is not to say that no matter what happens with this investigation, the republicans will make it political. i'm not saying it is right, the right thing to do. i'm saying what we're going see. because the republicans know an investigation hurts them. so they could be part of it in which they'll have to endorse it, which would have been problematic, or they could choose not to have anything to do with it, and just attack it as political. and that's what they're going to try and do. it will be successful at some point. now -- i think mccarthy probably will put up his fi

you said i deeply regret that we live in a world where very to respond to marjorie taylor greene. she's comparing it to her new favorite topic, yes, naziism. no one is in danger of asking greene to teach a history class anytime soon, but she did learn one lesson well from the nazis, dangerous propaganda, the latest is biden suggesting people go door to door to talk about getting vaccinated. it's neighbors sharing their stories. if someone looking out for you and listening and talking to you about you, about getting vaccinated it a blow to your liberty when a powerful variant is sweeping through your unvaccinated area, it's time to re-examine what liberty means. our liberty's earned. the burden of enjoying our freedoms is contribute to the ideals of the country we can be worthy of. congresswoman greene, you, you're not, end quote. did you ever think giving a response like that to a sitting congress person would be necessary? >> well, got to love twitter, right? the truth is, no. i mean, if marjorie taylor greene doesn't want to get vaccinated, she doesn't have to get vaccinated. th

and now gop congresswoman marjorie taylor greene continues to compare coronavirus precautions to nazisscuss with senior law enforcement analyst andrew mccabe. i'm glad you're here. between learning about trump's previous comments and a gop congresswoman continuing to equate coronavirus measures with the holocaust, there are some people who are hearing this and all of that with very open ears. does that concern you? >> sure, it does, laura. on many, many levels. the idea that we would have a former president of the united states and a sitting member of congress consistently reaching towards the nazis to provide examples, to kind of charge their rhetoric about whatever point it is they're trying to make is just -- it's so confounding, it's hard to even get your mind around that. but it's beyond being ignorant and insensitive and offensive certainly to people who are relatives of, you know, folks who were victimized by the nazis or jewish people in this country or around the world. beyond all that, it is dangerous. particularly in the case of marjorie taylor greene, the things that she's

we look at marjorie taylor greene's carnival barking. new report published yesterday. he largely avoids by too much surprised language, and instead focuses on at establishing thinking targeting the gop, mainstream idai and leftist's. the strategy, along with the adoption of mainstream meme culture like the frog allows america first movement to attract younger, mainstream conservatives who are then exposed to the groups extremist ideology. that is the apt description of what's happening across parts of the right, especially online. i'm guessing that's what you see in your research and it's popular, sadly, with a lot of people. >> absolutely. we finished a study at the polarization and extremism innovation lab that found individuals who were exposed to these kinds of memes and messages are what we call subversive kinds of outlets more likely to be persuaded by right wing propaganda. these messages are getting in front of all neural eyes and they are appealing to them. it might not seem racist at first, but the absolutely turn in that direc
