and look at what's going on now with marjorie green taylor -- marjorie taylor green, excuse me.he education and workforce committee, of all committees, when she is out there saying things like the parkland shooting didn't happen and is a conspiracy and so forth. means she shouldn't be on any committees but she, certainly, shouldn't be on that committee, in particular. >> you know, abby, manu raju, our colleague. manu raju, our colleague, caught up with the new democratic senator, raphael warnock. he is calling her comments, meaning marjorie taylor green's, deeply repulsive and he said this and i quote. i think the onus is really on the people in her own caucus to answer this fundamental question. where is the line? what's too much? so, congresswoman green is among the many gop members that support the election lie. isn't -- isn't that the bigger issue, here, abby? >> yeah. i mean, look. it's -- it's all part of the same thing. i mean, the willingness of -- of people in congress to back up a lie that has almost -- i mean, really, no basis in fact. that is so, on its face, facilit

a maskless marjorie taylor-greene and her staff berated me. marjorie taylor-greene, you probably know her name well by now is a freshman congressman who peddles racist conspiracy theories. her fellow republicans saw the threat that she posed to their part, quote, during previously unreported meetings last summer house republican leader discussed, but then largely set aside fears that qanon supporting conspiracy theorist marjorie taylor-greene would end up a flaming train wreck for their party. >> meanwhile, the second impeachment trial of donald trump gets under way, and there's talk of a bipartisan effort to consider censure as an alternative facing the former president. according to one senator in the know could prevent the former president from holding future office. >> we are getting a new look from the january 6th insurrection on capitol hill. body cam footage obtained by "the new york times," one man is seen wielding a hockey stick and another wielding a crutch. i should warn you. these images are disturbing. >> there's a weird production

because marjorie taylor greene is just a shiny object. just like donald trump was. symptom of a much larger problem. that's the trap. if you get blinded by marjorie taylor greene, by her, you let everybody else get off scot-free for what happened at the capitol and what's happened in this country over the last five years. culminating with what happened at the capitol. she's a symptom of what is wrong with the republican party. a party that is turning on its own. turning on liz cheney? liz? you know how conservative liz cheney is? you know how dedicated to the republican party liz cheney is? come on, y'all. her daddy's dick cheney. come on. really? liz cheney who tried to do the right thing and vote to hold a former president accountable. a crowd of trump supporters showing up to condemn her. oh, boy. at a matt gaetz rally today. >> if you want to prove that you have the power, defeat liz cheney in this upcoming election and wyoming will bring washington to its knees. >> so it's really tough -- it's -- it's so transparent, matt gaetz is so transparent, he wants public

marjorie taylor greene takes it to be a grient q in the sky. a lengthy thread of language sprinkled with conspiracy theories, george soros, marjorie taylor greene. yes, a nazi himself trying to continue what was not finished. february 201. that was verified by cnn as well. it is still up on twitter right now if you want to take a look. and just so that you can see what she is engaging calling soros a nazi. this portrays him as a vampire going up in flames. this is outrageous. this stuff ain't normal. this is not normal. this is some racist b.s. that is what it is. you are bigots. listen, i shouldn't have to explain it. george soros is jewish, the root of endless anti-semitic tropps about him. he is not a nazi. but he is the subject of countless ugly conspiracy theories embraced by marjorie taylor greene and her cronies. there is more, sadly. boy. this same source shared screen shots of two now removed facebook posts of marjorie taylor greene's page which cnn hasn't independently confirmed. one, a fake promo for the funeral of the late senator jo

marjorie taylor greene has always been marjorie taylor greene. it's everyone around her now that's the problem. >> that's correct, john. but remember, too, steve king was elected multiple times, but not until the leadership of the party stood up and kevin mccarthy, to his credit, stood up and condemned him skpad, no more. you're off the committees. you know what, after leadership took their foot down on his neck, so to speak, they said, it's done. he was defeated in his primary. the same thing has to happen to marjorie taylor greene. the leadership needs to speak clearly, that she is not welcome in the party, he is not welcome in the conference, and that she and her ilk, these conspiracy theorists and all of these whacky things that she supports, there is no room for them. make it crystal cloear. and they will defeat her in the next primary. her opponent in the primary last time said he had a dumpster full of opposition research on this woman that was just devastating. now we're learning more and more about it. so, i think he said, no shirt, no s

it's the party of marjorie taylor greene. the party is getting more trump-like. trump-like. in terms of marjorie taylor greene, i think we also have to really think about the seriousness of this and we either believe the fbi reports are not about qanon and conspiracy theory groups, and maybe not personalize it so much about marjorie taylor greene but let's go back to what the fbi said. starting in the summer of '19, they said, what is different in this environment is not the white nationalism. we've seen that before. what's different about the misinformation and conspiracy groups that feed that. the fbi director testified to congress warning that the great threat we face are the conspiracy group theories. we have a member of congress who has been elevated from those conspiracy groups to the congress. whether or not the republican caucus takes this seriously will demonstrate to the people whether or not they take the national security implications seriously or not. i agree with adam kinzinger. i think it's hard to remove a member of congress who has been duly elec

beat, me to the punch instead of traveling to palm springs to kiss donald trump's ring. >> marjorie taylor greene says that the enemy is within. look, you're a marine, do you fear for your safety. do you think that marjorie taylor greene wants to do you harm? >> i don't fear for my safety. and i think it's important that we turn the temperature down in the house chambers so we can have vigorous debate, as we're meant to do. the truth remains, though, that marjorie taylor greene has called for the executions of president obama, nancy pelosi, hillary clinton, and she wants to bring a gun tonight house floor. it shouldn't be speaker pelosi who calls this out. the republican party should be taking carry of extremism within their own ranks. they should have the decency to be embarrassed and take action on it, as opposed to continuing to buy into this cult of trump. >> congressman riggleman, they had their chance. they had their chance and they continue to have their chance to try to stop people like marjorie taylor greene from leading, from talking, from being able to chase a parkland school shooting

president trump won by a landslide. >> marjorie taylor green, marjorie taylor greene, executing democratic -- before being elected to congress. is marjorie taylor greene the kind of republican that we are supposed to unify with? come on now. let's be truthful about this. because imagine if marjorie taylor greene or folks like her or any of them. kevin mccarthy, average if they were democrats, what republicans would be saying right now. most house republicans are keeping quiet about marjorie taylor greene but minority leader kevin mccarthy exp spokesperson says he plans to have a conversation with her. wow. a conversation. let me just remind you that steve king lost his committee assignment in 2019 over his repeated racist comment but marjorie taylor greene gets a conversation? that's almost -- i mean that's like being very concerned like susan collins, i am very concerned strongly. what's next? are they going to write her as a strongly written note? this is a u.s. congresswoman who got campaign money from qanon believer. romney mcdaniels tells the ap, qanon is quote, "dangerous." it is pre

you on this one and get your raw reaction to the controversy that is surrounding right now marjorie taylor greene and how the republicans so far have reacted. >> yeah, i would say that marjorie taylor greene is an extension of donald trump, and as they haven't really renounced him or intend to convict him, certainly in the senate side, the house impeached him. there were only ten republicans who went along with that. the senate gop has indicated they are not interested in convicting or holding him accountable for what the events of january 6th. so she's a full extension of donald trump and by extension a full realization of the republican party playing with matches when it comes to engaging with white supremacists, qanon conspiracy theorists like her. she's also an anti-semite. and yeah, i mean, it's what was said before. she either needs to be expelled or censured, quite frankly. >> so, tim, this is kind of jumping off of what we just heard from atima, and it's from a "washington post" op-ed by dana m ai lbank arguing that despite the glimmer of hope that was republicans condemning trump for lik

. >> well, now, cnn tonight has obtained screen shots of marjorie taylor greene's social media accounts full of anti semitic tropes, bigotry and outrageous conspiracy theory, even a golf course is fodder for qanon conspiracies, if it's trump's. eric trump tweeted out this picture, which marjorie taylor greene looks to be a giant "q" in the sky. then there's her lengthy thread of apocalyptic language sprinkled with conspiracy theories, a commenter replies with a series of images featuring george soros and marjorie taylor greene replying calling george soros a nazi, and she writes a nazis himself trying to continue what was not finished. that was verified by the team as well. it's still up on twitter right now if you want to take a look. and just so you can see what she is engaging when she calls soros a nazi, this one portrays him as a vampire going up in flames. these bigots, man, it is really -- it's outrageous. and you try to spin this as normal politics. this stuff -- this stuff ain't normal. this is not normal. this is some racist b.s., that's what it is. you're bigots. listen, i sh

>> it means the republican party is marjorie taylor greene. he republican party embrace donald trump for the last four years. and apparently, donald trump inciting a deadly insurrection, the attack of january 6th on the capitol and the people within it, apparently that didn't change much. and even since january 6th, as some -- some folks said earlier on your show. we've seen representative mccarthy and other members walk back closer towards donald trump. they are a party that is based on lies and conspiracy theories. all, in the name of -- of grabbing power. and really, we don't have a marjorie taylor greene problem, per se. this country has a republican-party problem. >> but, there is, also, a voter-registration problem, olivia, for the republican party. they have lost about -- some -- at least 30,000 people, who were registered republicans, at the start of january 6. and now, aren't. will that be the thing that will trigger change? >> it could, possibly. i mean, right? let's -- let's face it. the average american, i just do not believe subscr

do you think the same effect is happening with marjorie taylor greene? she's fundraising off her controversial comments that have come to light recently. >> i think the affinity with congresswoman greene will last less long, if you will. i cannot see too many members rallying around her given what she has said. if she were to apologize and say, hey, i misspoke so many times over the years and i'm ready to move ahead as a different person, that would be one thing. but she's not. it was clear today by what she tweeted out. she said, i will not apologize. and somebody who will not apologize for racist comments, for what she has said about these false flags she claims with the shootings and whatnot is just so crazy. there's no other way to say it. and so i cannot see too many of my colleagues standing up for that. there will be resolutions that come to the floor of the house of representatives because democrats are in control. that will force republicans to take a position. and i think long before then, kevin mccarthy and others in the party are going to have

and you see kevin mccarthy, he at one point actually said that marjorie taylor greene had denounced qanonhas not denounced qanon and she got that plum committee assignment, as well. and there is this broad range of conspiracy theories, whether it's 9/11 trutherism, marjorie taylor greene seems to be adherent to all of those andtai in the republican party and it is not just crazy, it is dangerous. we saw that on january 6th. some of those people had on "q" t-shirts, they were qanon adherents and believers. and you have donald trump as someone who also has embraced qanon and embraced marjorie taylor greene as the kind of future of the republican party. >> it's a cancer. it's a cancer. and we have to protect our children from it. i know you guys have young children. it's so disgusting, what we're about to see in this video that we'll show you in a moment. david, nia, malika, thank you both very much. in a few minutes, i will be speaking with the parkland survivor with david hogg, about that moment where marjorie taylor greene who is now a congresswoman chased after him and harassed him. ther

this isn't just about marjorie taylor greene. this is about the republican party. e republican leadership and marjorie taylor greene has come to represent what i have come to believe are three fundamental truths about where the republican party is today. number one, she epitomizes radicalization in clear broad daylight. that is the conspiracy theories, the violent extremist groups she is associated with. she is the epitome of all that but proudly and in open daylight. second, she epitomizes the discarding of democracy for the big lie. the big lie of course being the election, being thrown or fraudulent. that she and other republicans have ascribed to. and also the big lie about exactly what is happening in this country. whatever issue you look at. there is a lie being told about what is actually happening in this country. and third, she represents what the republican party has become, a one-man cult. this is not a party of principles anymore. this is a party of one person. if you look at what the arizona republican party did, they censured jeff lake, cindy mccain an

democratic congressman of los angeles jimmy gomez has introduced a resolution to expel marjorie taylor greene from the house of representatives. here is what congressman gomez told chris hayes tonight. >> marjorie taylor greene, a conspiracy theorist believes in all sorts of crazy things, but the worst thing is, she's incited crowds in the past to storm the capitol, to go after nancy pelosi. they were even chanting "hang mike pence." and now she's still a member of congress. i believe she is a clear and present danger to the members of the house of representatives. just simply for the fact she also is able to bring a gun to the house office buildings and she's walked around the metal detectors going to the floor. there's a strong sense that something worse than january 6th could happen if she continues in office. >> today, nancy pelosi said there is no difference between marjorie taylor greene and kevin mccarthy and the rest of the republican leadership in congress. >> what i'm concerned about is the republican leadership in the house of representatives who is willing to overlook, ignore thos

let's stick with marjorie taylor greene in this moment. i want to remind our viewers about what trump said about marjorie taylor greene before she was elected. >> somebody that gets a little more publicity than i do, marjorie taylor green, right here from northwest georgia. oh, boy, i don't want to mess with her. nah, she's great. every one of them has my full and complete endorsement. go out and vote for them and let them all come into congress. >> he got what he wished for and now congresswoman greene talks to trump. she says she has his support today. i don't think you can call this the fringe of the republican party anymore, i mamanda. >> no, but i think it's important to take a trip to realville where people who support trump could not live anymore. donald trump not only lost the white house, he is responsible for losing the senate and the house of representatives. trumpism is a political loser, okay? marjorie taylor greene and her qanon-style politics are responsible for republicans losing the senate because kelly loeffler and david t

the trump, marjorie taylor greene and qanon faction have won. blicans level. maybe mitt romney hand that's it. >> a couple days later after marjorie taylor greene, i talked with donald trump so when you connect the dots here, where does the gop stand relative to donald trump, is it side by side, perhaps? >> it's still the trump party. he's not going to get convicted clearly. the republican senators made that clear. he'll dangle out this idea he'll run again in 2024 which means he remains the de facto leader of the party and look at the local party. look at the state parties, alex. not just congress. sometimes we get distracted what's happening in this town and capitol hill. look at the gop in south carolina krens you'ring members and look at what it is happening to liz cheney and look at those who are saying is the attack on the capitol is a false flag and the hawaii gop which tweeted praise of the qanon and the texas gop which has a qanon mantra in its slogans and online motifs. this is a top from top to bottom which has been taken over by consp

marjorie taylor greene? the qanon supporter who was named to the house education and labor committee today. who supported the big lie. >> we aren't going to let this election be stolen by joe biden and the democrats. president trump won by a landslide. >> marjorie taylor greene, who our k file investigation finds repeatedly indicated support for executing prominent democratic politicians before being elected to congress. is marjorie taylor greene the kind of republican that we're supposed to unify with? come on now. let's be truthful about this. because imagine if marjorie taylor greene or the folks like her, any of them, kevin mccarthy, imagine if they were democrats. what republicans would be saying right now. most house republicans are keeping quiet about marjorie taylor greene. but the minority leader kevin mccarthy's spokesman says he plans to have a conversation with her. wow. have a conversation. a conversation. let me just remind you that steve king lost miz committee assignments in 2019 over his rep

comments. >>> now cnn tonight has obtained screen shots from marjorie taylor greene's social media accounts. marjorie greene sees a q in the sky for an eric trump golf course tweet. marjorie taylor greene replies to a commenter on one of her twitter threads and calls george soros a nazi. that one is still up on twitter right now. and just so you can see what she is engaging with when she calls soros a nazi, here's a larger version of that graphic portraying him as a vampire going up in flames. both of those tweets are verified by cnn's k-file. two screen shots of two now removed facebook posts of greene's facebook page which cnn has not independently confirmed. one, a fake promo for the funeral of the late senator john mccain, a war hero who served his country in the senate for more than 30 years. and then there's this bigoted anti-muslim meme that shows graphic images of the 9/11 terror attack side by side with the image of congresswoman rashida tlaib being sworn into congress, and it says, thanks, michigan. we blurred the faces of the children in that photo to protect them from this kind

bush, moved her office -- you know, relocated because she says she was being harassed by marjorie taylor greeneaylor greene even had video where she's kind of in a shouting match with congresswoman bush. describe for me the tenor, you know, in the hallways. we're not just talking about in committees and in the chamber, but what is it like walking around, you know, these congressional office buildings and capitol hill as a whole knowing that there's this kind of animus taking place. >> in a building that i thought i would be most safe in, and the entire country it just couldn't feel that way. i don't walk anywhere, even inside the building alone because you don't know what you're going to run into and what the interaction is going to be like. congresswoman bush should not have had to change her office because of the vile acts of other members of congress but this is where we're at right now and we have to hold people accountable. until we hold people accountable they will continue to do what they're doing because there are no consequences. and so that's why we need to -- congresswoman bush has a

and now both of them have nothing to say, nothing to say publicly about marjorie taylor greene. axios is reporting that kevin mccarthy plans to talk privately with marjorie taylor greene about her homicidal thoughts. tonight congressman alexander ocasio-cortez said this in an interview with chris hayes here on msnbc. >> when i hear that representative mccarthy is going to pull a member aside who has made white supremacist sympathizing comments, the thing that i think is, what is he going to tell them? keep it up? because there are no consequences in the republican caucus for violence. there's no consequences for racism, no consequences for misogyny, no consequences for insurrection and no consequences means that they condone it. it means that that silence is acceptance and they want it because they know that it is a core animating political energy for them. and this is extremely dangerous an extremely dangerous threshold that we have crossed because we are now away from acting out of fealty to their president that they had in the oval office. and now we are talking about fealty t

there's something terribly wrong that, you know, that marjorie taylor greene for some reason is not -xcoriated and ex-communicated while liz cheney is under tremendous pressure from some of her colleagues who are showboating going into her district and trying to suggest somehow she's disloimp the fight is going to be engaged. people like bill kristol and i and others are going to stand up for the folks who have a lot of integrity and did the right thing and they should not be called on the carpet, and the leadership of the republican party should be standing up and defending liz cheney and the others for doing what they did. >> but so far they vice president, you know, and so far they are allowing marjorie taylor greene to continue to, you know, be a functioning member of congress on -- on this committee. we -- we went to one of her town halls, and this is what -- what one of her constituents had to say about marjorie taylor greene. >> my 23 years in georgia and years prior to that, she's the most serious candidate and would i follow her more than any other congressman or senator i've

marjorie taylor-greene is a member of congress. josh hawley and ted cruz are united states senators. donald trump was the president. at some point how and when does the republican party or something that used to be the republican party that you were once a member of cleave itself in which jews in space sent a laser to florida to make way for high-speed rail? >> let's play it out. kevin mccarthy who is every bit as responsin as hawley are for the incitements to violence for the telling of the big lie. where is the minority leader of the house? he is in mar-a-lago with his leader donald trump pledging his loyalty? they put a woman, marjorie taylor-greene who is utterly insane. they put her on the education committee. she denies the parkland and the newtown shootings. a member of congress denies the

. >> house republican leader kevin mccarthy has promised to have a word with marjorie taylor greene about the racist, antisemitic, homicidal thoughts she has publicly expressed. but more important mri for kevin mccarthy, he had to go to florida today to talk to the man who is facing trial for incitement of insurrection at the u.s. capitol. >> the president bears responsibility for wednesday's attack on congress by mob rioters. he should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding. these facts require immediate action by president trump. accept his share of responsibility, quell the bruling unrest and ensure president-elect biden is able to successfully begin his term. >> the cowardly kevin did not say a word of that to donald trump today. kevin mccarthy released a statement saying, today president trump committed to helping elect republicans in the house and senate in 2022. that commitment is of course worth absolutely nothing because it's from donald trump. kevin mccarthy still hasn't released a statement saying that marjorie taylor greene has promised not to encour

we have congresswoman marjorie taylor greene, a lot of headlines in some of her posts. now congresswoman cori bush is talking to our colleague, joy reed, last night about why she moved her office away from greene. what's she saying? >> reporter: lindsey it all started yesterday, as you mentioned, when congresswoman cori bush accused congresswoman marjorie taylor greene for attacking her. she said she berated her after bush actually approached her, asked her to wear a mask. it's been a demand that many democrats have been asking from their republican counterparts, and it was greene as well as her staff who ended up yelling at bush, and bush felt threatened, and she said that her staff should not be facing this every single day that they walk past taylor greene's office, so that prompted her to ask speaker nancy pelosi if she could move. it's not something that typically happens, especially early on in a freshman's term, to move offices. and pelosi actually granted that request, given that many democrats have been fearing for their safety. but i want you to take a listen t

marjorie taylor greene — an ardent supporter of president trump.r state of georgia. we can speak to rina shah — a republican strategist. she's in washington. thanks very much. a very good sunday evening to you there in dc. one side might say this is an infringement of her free rights. another might say this is an important step in tackling disinformation. was twitter right in suspending her account? , ., account? twitter is doing exactly what _ account? twitter is doing exactly what people - account? twitter is doing exactly what people like | account? twitter is doing - exactly what people like ben sass have called for them to do. that is to call these conspiracy theorists to account. i am completely in support of this. i'm a big pro speech first amendment advocate that this isn't about that. this is about something far different. marjorie taylor greene of georgia is making perhaps the most nonsensical argument i've heard in all of my years of working in republican politics and that is arguing for conservativism by demanding, railing, that governm

marjorie taylor's greene's non-sen abthe big lie of a stolen election. came after greene tweeted about a phone call with former president trump claiming the people of in country are absolutely 100% loyal to him. and again quoting her, you can never beat him because we have the people -- we the people have his back. our senior political analyst david gergen served for presidents, three republicans, including ronald reagan. david, always an honor to have you on. if you would, give us a sense of what is going on in the republican party in your view. >> well, i'm afraid, pamela, the republican party that was the grand old party has lost a lot of its grandness. this started way back, actually, in the 1990s when the republican party moved right sharply under the leadership of newt ginrich taking over the house. and ginrich's time as speaker. really the party swung far to the right. and it just continued to do that. and now it's become taken over by radicals on the far, far right. radicals who like miss greene just when you get into what they have done and said

marjorie taylor greene's office did not respond to a request for comment. in a previous statement about other removed posts, taylor claimed that many people have run her facebook page, saying, quote, over the years i've had many teams manage my facebook pages, many posts were liked, many posts were shared, some of them don't share my views. cnn's john harward and cnn's christine powers. the republican party is co-signing it and therefore it is now them. john, president biden is trying to get republicans on board with the covid relief deal but how is he supposed to work with a party standing by the likes of marjorie taylor greene? >> he probably can't. and that's for reasons that but beyond the fact that there is some share of the republican caucus that is literally crazy. for a number of years, the republican party has positioned itself in opposition to the ways in which america is evolving in the 21st century, hence donald trump's throwback mantra was "make america great again," go back to the way it used to be. so they've driven themselves into this cul-de

so in less than 24 hours, president trump is undermining the efforts with marjorie taylor greene. it really is undermining what he's trying to accomplish even in his political afterlife. >> what would that conversation have been between mccarthy and greene even if her phone call didn't happen with trump? >> i think it's going to be along the lines of, if you don't stop with some of this crazy talk and sort of, you know, rein it in, then you're going to face some consequences. when steve king said offensive things, he was stripped of his committee assignment. so to me that's probably the first step that mccarthy would turn to as far as recourse with greene. >> and then kevin mccarthy said his party needs to step up against people like marjorie taylor greene. and yet he's not going to run for another term. but isn't this the time for veterans like him to stay in and fight for righting the ship? >> that's a great plan, and part of the challenge republicans are going to have is a lot of their long-serving incumbents are basically voting their fate in leaving, and there have been dozens

to move her offices away from taylor greene. >> what i cannot do is continue to look over my shoulder wondering if a white supremacist in congress by the name of marjorie taylor greene, or anyone else, because there are others, that they're doing something or conspireing against us. >> reporter: taylor greene's campaign released a message to the mob, declaring every smear strengthens my base of support. i will never back down. i will never give up. friday the white house dismissed a question about taylor greene. >> we don't want to elevate conspiracy theories further in the briefing room. >> reporter: under pressure over taylor greene's conduct, republican leader kevin mccarthy is suspected to meet with her next week but his influence over the congresswoman is unclear. and that's a big question, what can kevin mccarthy do, what is he willing to do politically? typically when a member of leadership is confronting a troublesome member of the house, they can do things like strip away a committee assignment. that can sometimes get a member in line. sometimes they pressed for people to resign, depending on the circumstances. very unclear what will happen he

nancy pelosi and has been granted, a move of offices because of a confrontation she had with marjorie taylor greeneid greene and her staff berated her in the hallway and targeted her and others on social media. she's moving for fear of her safety. how do you feel? >> well, i think it's very real. we all feel this tension of our colleagues who are continuing to not admit that joe biden won the election. or continuing to engage with white nationalist extremist groups that were part of the insurrection on the capitol. are continuing to tie themselves to donald trump, the president, who incited the insurrection. the most violent on the capitol since the war of 1812. the reality is, there are too many members of the republican party who are referring to wear masks. are referring to go through metal detectors. katy, you know you can't even get into a baseball game without going through a metal detector. here we are with these colleagues trying to bring guns on to the floor and refusing to follow the laws that have been established to be a member of congress. so it is real, the security threat to us, indi

it is my vision so my plan includes preservision. >>> there's a resolution to remove marjorie taylor greenenon member in congress. she repeatedly "liked" comments that called for violence against prominent democrats like speaker nancy pelosi, former president obama. in one video that greene posted in 2019, she falsely accused pelosi of treason and said it's a crime punishable by death is what treason is. nancy pelosi is guilty of treason. greene also liked a comment on a 2018 post that said, quote, a bullet to the head would be quicker than removing speaker pelosi from office." nbc news has not reviewed her since-deleted social media posts and greene did not respond to nbc's request but called the cnn story a hit piece on me. she said focused on my time before running for political office. now a video surfaced online wednesday of greene e harassing a gun control activist. greene chases hub on capitol hill as he walks around the capitol, greene calling him a coward because he does not engage with her and complaining he met with senators when she was not able to. >> i'm a gun owner. i have a

republicans are giving key committee assignments to conspiracy theorists like marjorie taylor greene, who spouts racist and xenophobic lies. that's quite the contrast. >> it's as stark as it gets and it says too much about the state of our politics today. marjorie taylor greene getting a seat on the education committee when she's, you know, enflamed conspiracy theories about school shootings. the question is what's too much? and the actions of the republican leadership is to say, well, you know, we really need to cool down internal dissent, treating liz cheney and adam kinzinger and someone equally divisive and anti-reason as marjorie taylor greene. that's the problem. you got to deal with the problem in the party, and they seem totally unwilling to and still afraid of donald trump from lame duck status at mar-a-lago. >> john harwood, countless republicans have remained silent about greene's dangerous lies. is it time to admit the party is more in line with marjorie taylor greene than mitt romney or rob portman or, as you just mentioned, adam kinzinger? >> well, the republican party r

these people have shown no come pungs no regret and then marjorie taylor green the focus of much more sustained attention on the record endorsing violence against speaker nancy pelosi. this is a facebook comment green liked from a january 2019 suggesting quote a bullet to the head would be quicker to remove pelosi. thumbs up. but that's just one of a long list of violent, racist and crazy things she has said including suggesting muslims should not be able to serve in public office, a contradiction of the plain text of the constitution she so claims to love and that black people are held slaves to the drtic party. she is on video harassing david hog, a survivor of the parkland school shooting climbing that the tragedy was a false flag. i didn't really happen. it was a fake or planted? this was a big conspiracy theory on the right for a while and trafficked in several other insane far right conspiracy theories like this one which i had to study about. i hadn't really encountered it but how hillary clinton murders babies and then there's another about a california wild fire being started

this time, marjorie taylor green.re lasers in space that cause wildfires, and the lasers identify as jewish? >> mm-hmm, yeah, correct. >> those are real things you believe and tell other people about? >> mm-hmm, yeah. >> and you're a u.s. representative? >> mm-hmm, yeah. >> you represent the u.s.? >> mm-hmm, yeah. >> people can google you and it will say she's a real member of the u.s. government? >> it might not be the first thing that comes up, but yeah. >> and when your colleagues found out about all these hateful and psychotic things you said, what did they do? >> i was promoted to the education committee. >> that wraps up the hour for me. i'm yazman vossoughian. i'll be back next saturday and sunday at 3:00 p.m., and you can look for my lab reports from boston as the city opens a vaccination site inside fenway park. "politics nation" is up next after a quick break. after a quick break. did you know you can go to libertymutual.com to customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need? really? i didn't

and silent, the outrage with marjorie taylor greene. >> reporter: yeah, christi, it's been a chaotic hill, you have marjorie taylor greene and calling the parkland and sandy hook shootings a false flag operation. democrats want to see repercussions for her actions. there are three actions under way to either censure her which means publicly strip her of her committees which would render her partiless in the committee or expel her from congress. we have congressman matt gaetz who traveled to wyoming to campaign against congresswoman liz cheney, the number three house republican. he's upset with her for voting for support president trump's impeachment. where is kevin mccarthy with all of this? you mentioned he actually went down to florida to visit with president trump. when it comes to marjorie taylor greene, we happen to know his spokesman told us last night he will meet with her next week. we don't know exactly how that conversation is going to go. we'll wait to see how this plays out. christie and victor. >> daniela, we're about a week out from president trump's second impeachment t

nia, as jessica mentioned marjorie taylor greene, she came ready to respond. >> she did. we know that marjorie taylor greene has affiliated herself with qanon, a conspiracy theory about school shootings and here she is going to be on the education committee. kevin mccarthy said at one point he'll pull her aside and have a conversation with her. whether or not she remains on those committees that she's been on is unclear. there is precedent for members being taken off of committees. we saw that with steve king. but we'll see what happens with marjorie taylor greene. but it is clear and startling and shocking to hear the speaker of the house say that the enemy is from within the house of representatives. and, of course, they're speaking in part about marjorie taylor greene who has said or liked some terrible things about the people who are her colleagues now. so, i mean, that kind of stopped me cold when she said that. because you have these folks who are going to their jobs and they're fearing their colleagues. it is not even necessarily people outside of the building but i

story of where we have actually gone as a party off the rails and how we get back there. >> marjorie taylor greene we said, the k-file reporting, which you're quoted in, by the way, marjorie taylor greene endorsed or expressed support for the idea of executing democratic members of congress. we see her on the video with david hogg as well. she has now a seat on the education committee given to her by house leadership. what do you think should happen to marjorie taylor greene in congress? >> let's be clear. she's not a republican. she may be like this new definition of republican, but that's kind of a rino thing, a republican in name only is what she is. i personally don't think she should have any committees. i, you know, i look at that and i go, well, the education committee is not considered a good committee to get on, but i don't think she should have the privilege any ofcommittees. not just unmoored the party. not just from a republican perspective am i worried about what qanon has done. obviously, we saw what happened at the capitol. you see things like pizzagate. we all know friends that hav

amid the new controversies and calls for resignations swirling around marjorie taylor greene, we've just learned that missouri congresswoman corey bush moved her office after she said greene berated her and her staff in a hallway. how long can leaders ignore these issues being brought up by marjorie taylor greem? >> yeah. a pretty disturbing report there. marjorie taylor greene has responded with a video that she claims is of the incident. a selfie style video in which she can be heard yelling back and forthwith someone who we don't see on camera. so it's not entirely clear what's going on here. the lack of response from republican leadership is the thing to watch. the resolutions about censure or expulsion. other things that have been raised in discussions of miss greene are not going to go anywhere unless republican leadership decide that they in fact think her behavior is under acceptable and they want to address it. in the personal of kevin mccarthy would have the authority to revoke her committee memberships and it is unclear whether there is appetite to take her on directly or perh

marjorie taylor greene — an ardent supporter of president trump.n her state of georgia. earlier, iasked republican strategist rina shah if she thought twitter was right in suspending the congresswoman�*s account. twitter�*s doing exactly what republicans like senator ben sasse of nebraska have called for it to do — and that's to hold these conspiracy theorists in the republican party to account. that's what's happening here, and i am completely in support of this. i'm a very, big pro—speech first amendment advocate, but this isn't about that. this is about something far different. freshman congresswoman marjorie taylor greene of georgia is making perhaps the most nonsensical argument i've heard in all of my years of working in republican politics — and that's arguing for conservatism by demanding, railing, that government should regulate businesses that she doesn't like. has the republican party responded to this latest move by social media? well, republicans certainly have a lot to figure out inside their own ranks right now, as we know. things ha

twitter suspends the account of us republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greene for repeatedly makingse claims about election fraud. riot police in guatemala used batons and fired tear gas at a caravan of thousands of central american migrants bound for the united states. a year ago this week, china issued its first coronavirus lockdown — we return to hubei where the global emergency started. singing and the american music producer, phil spector, who helped define the sound of the 60s, has died in prison aged 81. in russia, the leading critic of the kremlin, alexei navalny, has been detained by police after returning to moscow for the first time since being poisoned with a nerve agent, in an attack he blames on russian authorities. he flew in from berlin but was led away by police after reaching passport control. western leaders have condemned his arrest. from moscow, steve rosenberg reports. he'd only been back on russian soil a few minutes when alexei navalny was told he was being detained. a kiss goodbye for his wife, yulia. then the kremlin�*s fiercest critic was led away. earlier
