the trump party is marjorie taylor greene and vice versa. wolf, one of the things that needs to be said about marjorie taylor greene is how she did not sound apologetic at all today. she was very trumpian in the way she was talking about all of this. you know, portraying herself as the victim, as if she is the one who has been unfairly treated in all this. never mind the fact, wolf, if you go through her social media posts and i was looking at what she's posted on instagram. a lot of that has not been scrubbed. a lot of these offensive comments that she's made, these conspiratorial comments, are still there in her social media accounts. and so, you know, i think that she's basically put the democrats in a position where some accountability has to be had. i mean, obviously, the republican party is not going to clean its own house here when it comes to dealing with marjorie taylor greene, and the democrats have to do something. wolf, you and i both know, i have seen you posting about this. it has concerned me a great deal as well. when you driv

marjorie taylor greene has not apol apol apologized. marjorie taylor greene endorsed executing democrats. executing them. none of those democrats have ever said anything remotely like that. so what happened to judging people on their own merits? huh? what aboutism. stop the what aboutism. know what, when i mentioned to chris just moments ago about there are fire brands in both parties, no one is talking about stripping moe brooks of his committees or matt gaetz. why you bringing up maxine waters? it's because you don't want to focus on your own mess. you don't want to clean up your own house. literally. an existential crisis of your own making. this what aboutism is just a lie. and it's not deserving of the american people's attention. the american people deserve better right now. we're in the middle of a pandemic. people are dying. the economy is in the tank. but what aboutism. is that really what you want to do? it's dangerous. it was just one month ago a mob incited by the former president's lies attacked the capitol. this is a time w

he or she didn't vote -- voted with marjorie taylor greene. so that could box in kevin mccarthy or box out kevin mccarthy from being the speaker which is one of the main reasons he has not stood up to marjorie taylor greene. and so that is one of the most fascinating kind of political ramifications that i'm going to be watching about this, never mind the way and the direction of the party and whether or not liz cheney is going to use the capital that she now has according to a source i spoke to close to her in order to help steer the party in a way that mccarthy is not. >> do you have to know, dana, how liz cheney is going to vote on marjorie taylor greene today? >> i don't. but it would surprise me if she didn't vote to remove her. >> i agree, for sure. for sure. >> you agree, jeff? >> for sure. she can't go down this road and not do it. this is a fork in the road. she certainly owes kevin mccarthy. he did stand up for her in the conference so that is no small thing but the democratic national campaign committee already doing ads for vulnerabl

host: jim mcgovern reacting to marjorie taylor greene's remarks on the house floor. this is mark from columbus, ohio reacting to marjorie taylor greene's reaction -- remarks. she said "i was allowed to believe things that were not true." really? who allowed her to believe such lies. she did not apologize. when welty -- when will she take personal responsibility? it is a sorry excuse. time for just one or two more phone calls here. doug out of oregon, independent. good morning. caller: good morning. i want to give a shout out to the caller from maryland. she made some good points. i have been thinking about the proceedings yesterday and representative -- the minority leader -- i believe he set the stage for all this to happen. he should have and could have removed her from those posts and done his responsibility, but he knew that if he did not come he would set the stage for the democrats to hold this vote. and on that, taking marching orders from the former president trump in the mar-a-lago meeting he had a week or so ago. i think it bodes poorly for the republican pa

the republicans, has mccarthy decide they're not going to remove marjorie taylor greene from committee assignments? >> essentially, that's what it looks like is going to happen. this meeting is all about liz cheney. they talked very little about marjorie taylor greene. >> wow. >> she got up and did speak herself for a few minutes and actually got somewhat of a standing ovation from a good portion of the conference that we're told. you know, there was one congressman, adam kinzinger of illinois who has been a big critic of president trump who got up and attacked kevin mccarthy for focusing more on cheney and dealing with that and not doing anything to handle the situation with marjorie taylor greene. but kevin mccarthy attempted over the past 24 hours to find a way out of this. he asked hoyer, the democratic majority leader if there could be a compromise perhaps put taylor green on another committee. democrats are not interested in that. they don't want her serving on any committee. they have the votes to make that happen and they're pushing forward. so mccarthy essentially put his hand

this is not a marjorie taylor greene problem, this is a republican party problem. let's be clear about this. marjorie taylor greene is not an aberration or outlier, she is an eventuality. this is what the lack of accountability looks like. this is what we are all paying for them to embrace the fringe to amass power. this is the cost of lowering the bar. he gets hundreds of thousands of people killed with his total disregard for the truth all because you want to pack the courts with your favorite judges. these are republican leaders who have for years weaponized elected democratic women of color in order to scare people into there's an america you won't recognize. kevin mccarthy is wholly owned by the qanon caucus. the question is with two years, what can democrats do to protect voting rights and protect tangible results. >> great panel. thank you all very much. >>> coming up, much more on tonight's house vote to strip marjorie taylor greene of her committee assignments. she's still there in congress. a "reid out" mention. pete buttigieg sworn in. mayor pete is now s

caller: yeah, marjorie taylor greene. will see where they really stand on marjorie taylor greene today. that is -- i am guessing -- host: go ahead, finish your thought. caller: i'm guessing they are not going to be so brave to condemn her today, and some of the stuff other people are saying, some of my thunder. -- stealing some of my thunder. host: that happens on a: show. liz cheney, one of the republicans in health -- in the house conference, looking to ouster from her leadership position was former congressman matt gaetz, and it was last week that he traveled up to liz cheney's state of wyoming to call for her, to try to rally supporters to oust her from her leadership post. this was matt gaetz from last week. [video clip] >> this is my first time in wyoming, and i feel like i already know the place a lot better than your misguided representative. [cheers and applause] my grandfather was a small town mayor and not too distant north dakota. he passed before his time but not for passing into legend, and he passed along a

and it didn't start with marjorie taylor greene. this is what happens when you knuckle under to a president, to anyone really, who defends white supremacists and neo nazis in charlottesville. >> you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. you had people in that group -- excuse me. excuse me. i saw the same pictures as you did. >> the never said it people, he said it. it is on tape, okay? a president who ran on the racist birther lie that the former president barack obama was not born in this country, a president who incited insurrection at the u.s. capitol. >> we fight like hell. and if you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a country anymore. you'll never take back our country with weakness. you have to show strength. and you have to be strong. >> so, it all came home to roost on january 6th. and that's the truth. that's when that crowd attacked the seat of our government, smashing, looting, threatening the lives of lawmakers. look at that. now the former president, days away from his second impeachme

q-trumplicans see it, to make sure they couldn't pretend they didn't know, a post showing marjorie taylor greene with a gun juxtaposed with photos of ilhan omar, alexandria ocasio-cortez and rashida tlaib. even in the face of all of that, 199 republicans still voted for her. today marjorie taylor greene tried to rewrite history. this is where i want you to stick with me. she tried to avoid taking responsibility for what she said, for what we heard her say. >> i was allowed to believe things that weren't true and i would ask questions and talk about them. and that is absolutely what i regret. because if it weren't for the facebook posts and comments that i liked in 2018, i wouldn't be standing here today. and you couldn't point a finger and accuse me of anything wrong. >> lying through her mask. come on. i was allowed to believe things that weren't true. i'm sorry, who? i mean, i have to give it to her. that's a good one. next time i'm going to say, i was allowed to believe things that weren't true. i don't lie to people so -- but that's a good one. but it is outrageous, marjorie taylor greene, t

given the opportunity to stand up and say whatever they wanted about either liz cheney or marjory taylor greene, really what's most interesting about the outcome of all this, we're told that inside the room, most of the incoming fire was directed at liz cheney, not at marjory taylor greene. in fact, marjory taylor greene spoke, she even received a partial standing ovation, but that didn't reflect the ultimate results. in fact, liz cheney was able to hold on to her leadership post by a comfortable margin. after it was all said and done, kevin mckart think said it's evidence that his republican party is part of one big tent. take a listen. joochl it's just an example, this republican party is a very big tank. everyone's invited in. you look at the last election. we continue to grow. in two years we'll be the majority. >> he thinks that's enough for them to continue to grow their majority. what lies beneath all this is a sense of angst and division with these republican members. this was a secret ballot here tonight. up in of these members will be held accountable for how they voted. you have to w

continue to await the start of that vote in the house of representatives that would strip marjorie taylor greeneassignments. >>> when we return, some of greene's supporters are sticking with her. others are calling her embarrassing. how marjorie taylor greene is trying to patience of her voters back home in georgia and proving toxic to the state's beleaguered republican party.

oh we're ready. ♪ ♪ >>> republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greene is facing new backlash over herrity leader mitch mcconnell condemning greene's action, calling it a, quote, cancer for the republican party, end quote. house republicans forcing a action to be stripped of the committee assignments. joining us is fred guttenberg, his daughter jamie was one of the 17 people killed in parkland florida. also with us ted deutsche who represents the florida district that includes parkland. gentlemen, great to see both of you. fred, what are you calling for? what do you want congressman kevin mccarthy to do when he will reportedly meet with marjorie taylor greene. >> first, good morning and thank you. i want kevin mccarthy to grow a spine today. he needs to do more than talk. if we learned one thing, what her comments yesterday, she's really not going to change what she has to say about anything. kevin mccarthy needs to tell her to leave. you know, we're the middle 17 day lead up to february 14th. and every one of these days we're going to honor one of those who was lost on february 14th.

the house just approved the stripping of marjorie taylor greene of midi assignments. how significant is this? it is quite an extra ordinary move, isn't it? guest: it is and there isn't much precedent for what the house did today. on the other hand, there's not much president for a congresswoman like marjorie taylor greene. who has espouse the most bizarre conspiracy theories and more significantly, made comments that seemed to threaten the lives of her fellow members in the house. i think that is what pushed the democrats to do this. at the very end, steny hoyer, house majority leader, the number two democrat in the house held up a poster of -- something marjorie taylor greene had posted on social media, carrying an assault rifle aimed at three democratic members of the house, alexandria ocasio-cortez, rashida tlaib and ill on omar -- the squad. saying she would be their worst nightmare. the image of that assault rifle aimed at democratic members of the house of representatives i think was so powerful and is what move not just all democrats, but 11 republicans to vote

. >> marjorie taylor greene, she is effectively the minority leader. she has broken kevin mccarthy. >> she is effectively getting a pass. she did get a round of applause. some people did stand up when marjorie taylor greene spoke and liz cheney is getting pounded. >> we did have a terrific vote tonight. we're not going to be divided. >> reporter: democrats are barreling ahead with biden's big proposal. >> i'm not going to start my administration by breaking a promise. >> some of the variants may actually lead to increased mortality. and the jury is still out how these vaccines are going to work against these variants. >> reporter: this is "new day," with alisyn camerota and john berman. >> welcome to our viewers in the united states and all around the world. this is "new day." it's thursday, february 4 tth, 6:00 here in new york. a moment of revelation for the republican party overnight. days ago, it was mitt romney who said, our big tent is not large enough to accommodate conservatives and kooks. days ago, it was mitch mcconnell who said, loony lies an

so mark, marjorie taylor greene defiant. her today when she said the republican party belongs to trump? >> well, that was the real story of the week, don. we had this sort of epic clash around liz cheney and around marjorie taylor laser beam. and for the short-term, kevin mccarthy kind of kept the coalition together. the problem is for the longer term. the real story this week is that the republican party still is lock, stock and barrel belongs to donald trump, as marjorie taylor greene said today in her press conference. and that's the problem. because republicans had an opportunity at this point, and that is where i think mitch mcconnell jumped out and where liz cheney jumped out. they know for the long-term the party has to move away from donald trump. and now rather than doing that, they're moving even closer and showing that bond is just as tight as ever. >> yeah, well, let's talk a little bit more about those two, ron. because this is a new cnn reporting that former president trump spent the last two days livid and fum

ma marjorie taylor greene could be the face of republicans in 2022. you don't want to be talking about greene. you want to talk about your issues what you want to do. you're going to be saddled by this and that's a real problem for republicans moving forward. >> always appreciate it. thank you so much. >> thank you. >>> congressman jamie raskin, impeachment manager responding to the president's refusal to testify next week. raskin says trump's immediate refusal to testify speaks volumes and -- so joining me now, cnn legal analyst elie honig. >> good evening, don. >> it's a bold move by democrats. what's the strategy here? >> indeed. here's why it's such a bold move. because they're calling out donald trump's bluster. we know donald trump loves to talk tough, right? in twitter, back in the ol days when he had twitter. what the house impeachment manager said today is, you want to keep talking tough? come to the senate, put your hand on the bible and take an oath. in his four years in office, he had a lot of things to say, but he never testified under oa

and then over on the marjorie taylor greene side, you know, you have leadership who is unwilling to denounce a crazy person. a kook. it should not be hard to say what marjorie taylor greene believes in is wrong. it's not true. and it isn't who we are. there's no courage to do any of that and instead, they are making democrats force their hand. >> margaret, i've got to imagine for you, not only a member of the republican party, the republican party is in your family's bones and history. it's got to be sort of like gut twisting to see this happening. and especially compounded by the fact that 61 republicans in the house, 30% of the house, voted to oust liz cheney from her leadership role simply for voting her conscience. >> that's right. poppy, you nailed it. look, i think actually if anything, history can bring republicans and people who have long identified with the conservative tradition in american politics, not conservative populism, not the conservativism of today, but go, if you want to go back to the modern american conservative movement. william f. buckley kicked out the conspiracy th

what to do about marjorie taylor greene, the controversial conspiracy theory freshman from georgia, who has come under withering criticism from both republicans and democrats as her views have come to light over the last several days, questions about whether to strip her from her two key committee assignments. in a clear indication, house republican leader kevin mccarthy, who has met behind closed doors with marjorie taylor greene but has not said anything public ly broke the silence about the revelation of her comments moments ago and suggested that house republicans would not take action themselves. he said in a statement, i understand that marjorie's comments have caused deep wounds to many and, as a result, i offered majority leader hoyer a path to lower the temperature and address those concerns. instead of coming together to do that, the democrats are using to raise the temperature by taking the unprecedented step to further their partisan power grab regarding the committee assignments of the other party. now, the question had been whether or not the republicans would move on thei

liz cheney and marjorie taylor greene. but here are the numbers that i'm looking at. 139 republicans voted to challenge the electoral college back on january 6. that's almost the same number, 145, that behind closed doors voted to protect liz cheney. and i think those votes are entirely inconsistent. how can you be someone who wants to overturn the electoral college, very trumpian, and then turn around behind closed doors and support cheney? >> who vote today impeach trump. >> the answer is who is watching. it depends who is watching. if you think you can get away with a vote of conscience, i.e., protect can cheney, then you do it. now we come full circle to tonight where in the plain light of day, what do the republicans do? all but 11 to appease the base, they lined up. and, by the way, the early polling data axios today suggests that cheney is less popular than marjorie taylor greene. so that explains it with the base. >> okay. yeah, it explains, i suppose, in a way that deeply confuses me in so many ways. but let me as

today in the house, a partisan brawl erupted over congresswoman marjorie taylor greene who for the first time publicly distanced herself from fringe theories she expressed just two years ago. >> these were words of the past, and these things do not represent me. they do not represent my district. and they do not represent my values. >> reporter: democrats weren't buying it. >> i think giving congresswoman green a megaphone on a standing committee would be a cancer on this entire congress. >> reporter: the house moving to strip her from her assignments on the education and budget committees. a move that republicans called a damaging precedent. >> today's resolution raises serious questions for these institutions. the action the majority is proposing to take today is not only premature, but, in fact, unprecedented in the history of the house. >> reporter: but democrats said her views are dangerous. with the house speaker referencing revelations from cnn's "k" file that greene repeatedly indicated support for executing prominent democratic politicians in 2018 and 2019. today nancy pelosi br

voting to remove freshman congresswoman marjorie taylor greene from the education and labor and budget committees. >> the line in the sand has to be the promotion and elevation of violence directed at your colleagues or other americans. >> reporter: the decision after greene's last-minute efforts to save her assignments. >> i never said any of these things, since i have been elected for congress. these were words of the past. >> reporter: speaking for over ten minutes, attempting to walk back hateful comments and conspiracy theories she promoted before running for office. >> there's never any evidence shown for a plane in the pentagon. >> i also want to tell you 9/11 absolutely happened. >> you see, school shootings are absolutely real. >> reporter: the georgia lawmaker also making this claim about her belief in qanon. >> in 2018, when i started finding misinformation, lies, things that were not true in these qanon posts, i stopped believing it. >> reporter: but in december, after being elected, greene defended qanon supporters in an interview with cnn. >> i don't think there's anythin

that's how marjorie taylor greene is able to thrive because trumpism is able to thrive. so i think it's important that the republican party stand up right now and not only remove marjorie taylor greene from her committees but also eject her from the house republican conference and also tell her that we're going to work with the georgia gop to defeat her in the primary and that she should enjoy the rest of her time in congress. they have to be very strong on this. and defend liz cheney. they are making -- adam kinzinger is trying to lead a movement, as he should. he needs additional support. it just can't be adam kinzinger speaking. a guy who is a leader with no followers is just a guy taking a walk. we need to empower adam kinzinger and those who want a new direction for the party that is much more socially tolerant, constructively engaged on the domestic and international stage and embracing markets, developing policy solutions that are outside of their comfort zone on issues like climate change or immigration. so time to make the break. >> why, jamie, is it so hard for

be tagged as being antiwoman, having to answer questions they didn't want to answer about, marjorie taylor greeneace of the republican that's right 2022. if you're running in a competitive seat, you don't want to be talking about marjorie taylor greene, why you're running for office, you'll be saddled by this. >> amanda, doug, always appreciate it. thank you so much. >> thank you. >>> congressman jamie ras kin, the lead democratic impeachment manager responding to the president's refusal to testify. raskin said this speaks volumes and plainly establishes an adverse inference supporting his guilt. joining me now cnn legal analyst, ellie hoenig. >> good evening, don. >> bold move by democrats. what's the strategy here? >> indeed. here's why it's such a bold move. they're calling out donald trump's bluster. we know donald trump loves to talk tough. on twitter, his favorite cable news stations. the house said come into the senate, put your hand on the bible and take an oath and you can testify. in his four years in office, donald trump had a lot of things to talk about but he never testified under oa

mark, marjorie taylor greene, defiant.t do you think of what you heard from her today saying the republican party belongs to trump. >> that was the story of the week, don. we had an epic clash around liz cheney and marjorie taylor laser beam. the real story is that the republican party is lock, stock and barrel belonging to donald trump. republicans had an opportunity at this point. they know that the party needs to move away from donald trump. rather than doing that they are moving closer and showing the bond is as tight as well. >> this is a new cnn report, former president trump spent the last few days livid and fuming. same time, not rebuking greene has tied the gop to conspiracy theories. >> think of what he did. he created a moral equivalent between liz cheney and marjorie taylor greene. so we can keep the woman that talked about assassinating laser beams. if you look how the republican party handled the qanon of the day in 1960, there was more resistance then than now. in the 50s, more republicans resisted the lies

when we say that he's just like marjorie taylor greene, i think that's ridiculous. marjorie taylor greene has no interest -- >> just to be clear -- >> go ahead. >> just to be clear, just to be clear, when i said a moment ago that he is the same as marjorie taylor greene, i was referring specifically to linking his career to donald trump. it's undeniable that he stopped criticizing trump in order to get trump's endorsement. it's undeniable that a year ago today he did not vote to convict donald trump. of course he's not like marjorie taylor greene. you worked for john boehner and paul ryan, quote/unquote, establishment republicans. didn't this all start on their watch, the birtherism, the conspiracies? they would argue that they're the symptoms of the broken party, not the cause of it. >> i think it would go back farther. one of the reasons that donald trump was able to overtake the republican party was that so many republican voters hate the republican party. for 20 years, it has been currency to mislead them and attack basically our own leadership. whether you're ta

was allowed to believe, you allowed to believe, but, guy, are the media now trying to make marjorie taylor greenearty? >> yes, yes. and that's what the democrats are trying to do. they're working together on this. marjorie taylor greene, i hate even talking about her. because she is kook who has done kookie things. she is one member who should be far more obscure than she is. i'm not saying that this isn't a significant story because of what it means for the republican party. the heaviness of the coverage, the almost gleefulness of the coverage, it's not exactly so you tell what they're trying -- subtle what they're trying to do. there are other big stories that deserve more coverage than marjorie taylor greene has attracted. howie: well, we're done talking about her for now. guy, clarence, thank you very much. up next, the media argue about whether president trump is ignoring bipartisanship in pushing his big covid relief bill and corey lewandowski is up later. ♪ ♪ ♪ smooth driving pays off. ♪ with allstate, the safer you drive the more you save. ♪ you never been in better hands. allstate. click

i understand you did not vote with those 11 republicans to remove marjorie taylor greene from her committees, why? >> it wasn't an attack on marjorie taylor greene it was attack on the voerts. she got more votes than i did and most of the people in the entire house of representatives. about 75%. ist was also a power grab for washington it is dangerous when congress becomes the internet police or social media police sitting in judgment of the comments people made even before their time here. matter of fact we don't hold people accountable for the statements they make while they're in congress but now we see this republican woman specifically tar g*eted -- targeted and i think there is a double standard. marjorie taylor greene expressed contrition. we know that in congress we're not just representatives, we're representative of the people in this country. there are many americans who get lost in some of the dark recesses of the internet and they have to climb out of that. i think marjorie taylor greene is a better person today than she was when she made some of these odd statements online. i h

marjorie taylor greene was popularly elected in your state of georgia. rep. nguyen: my democratic colleagues and i have signed a resolution to ask members of congress to ask marjorie greene to resign. the congresswoman has proven danger is not just to our state but to our country. she continues to spread conspiracy theories and continues to state her allegiance to the former president. she has continued to incite violence on democratic members and her colleagues. >> you are from georgia, as she is. could you tell us about the district she represents and her constituents and what led them to elect her? rep. nguyen: she represents northwest georgia. she was able to win in november 2020 without any opposition from democrats. it is a heavily republican district, but the democratic nominee dropped out before the general election because of personal reasons. voters did not have a choice i terms of voting for somebody. she was pop the early elected in that specific district. her allegiance to the president has been something that she has used to continue her populari

>> well, i mean, what they are trying to do is essentially turn every republican into marjorie taylor greene. that's what the vote of tomorrow is about, is about tying house republicans to marjorie taylor greene on the vote. they'll run ads saying that they voted to protect her and to keep her on committees. and it is about sort of building this narrative over the course of the next two years. this isn't the sort of ad that you'd see from democrats heading into an election cycle, if you remember in october their ads were about health care and more on policy that moved their voters. this is much more of an ad to try to define house republicans super early in the cycle and try to cleave them apart from what is a significant part of their base. >> so, eugene, congresswoman cheney, who is by the way, the at-large member of congress in wyoming. the population is small enough. they have but one seat in the house for the entire state, two senators like every other state. liz cheney survives to live another day. over 60 members of her caucus voted in this secret ballot to bounce her from leadership,

and as you could see in marjorie taylor greene. we'll hear this house from the white house. they've taken a firm position they are not going to discuss marjorie taylor greene from the briefing room. but will the president's press secretary have a reaction today after the turn of events last night. one thing that we're very likely to hear from the white house briefing that is going could come up in a few short minutes is the very latest on where it stands with the covid relief talks. democrats are setting the stage to move ahead on their own today, the house passed a budget resolution yesterday to allow democrats to advance the president's massive relief bill without any republican support. where do things move there because they do seem to be moving along quickly now. and let's start on capitol hill and the vote for marjorie taylor greene in the house today. jessica dean is joining me now. so what is going to happen today. >> reporter: what we're going to see later today is a full house vote on this resolution to remove congresswoman marjorie taylor greene from her committees

>> nicole, that's not they're no longer afraid of donald trump but marjorie taylor greene. not the person but the people those people represent and again, i just say, they look at marjorie taylor greene is a mini me of donald trump. i don't believe that most members of the house republican caucus are qanon believers. i don't think they are parkland truthers or think that sandy hook didn't happen but so afraid that if they come out and just take the obvious thing that this was obviously should not be on any committees, they should do the right thing here,primaried. that's how base and pathetic it is. if i did the right thing, i would annoy a bunch of voters, the tens of millions of voters who believe joe biden is not a legitimate president, the election was stolen. all the same thing and the personal consequences for them is they might lose their job, so they decide that in that instance, that they care about nothing else other than that and to your point about shame, i mean, how much shamelessness is required to honor officer sicknick as they all claim to do and not draw the

last night during the more than four hour conference meeting, a small portion focused on marjorie taylor greene. mostly about liz cheney. but marjorie taylor greene walked back some of her views and kevin mccarthy who talked to us late last night suggested that that is good enough for him. >> she said she was wrong. she has reached out in other ways and forms. >> i think everybody should hear that. she has expressed that she's put it out from news agencies and others. i think it would be helpful if you could hear exactly what she told all of us. denouncing qanon, i don't know in i say it right. i don't know what it is. >> reporter: and he does know what it is. he said that qanon has no place in the republican party. he said that before and not last night. but the republicans did appreciate what she said privately. they applauded her and stood up and gave her a round of applause, i'm told but say number of them i talked to afterwards including mccarthy said she should say it publicly and denounce the things she said privately. no indication that she will do that and democrats regardless are movi

because if you back away from marjorie taylor greene, the honest thing we have to recognize here is to certain extent you are backing away from president donald trump, the former president. he is still very much supportive of greene. he's been in contact with her very recently. and every republican member who lives in a district where the former president is still very popular clearly recognizes that. >> you know, jamie, kevin mccarthy says he supports liz cheney remaining in her current leadership position, the number 3 republican in the house. she did vote, one of ten republicans, to impeach the former president. she said this at the time. "the president of the united states summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and then lit the flame of this attack." then she added, "there has never been a greater betrayal by a president of the united states of his office and his oath to the constitution." so a lot of republicans in the house say they totally disagree with what she said and what she did. >> that's true, wolf. but it was supposed to be a vote of conscience. it wasn't just liz cheney.

i know anything having to do with marjorie taylor greene is not surprising but it is symptomatic of thise republican party of revisionism of what happened over january 6th. marmgry taylor greene is one who had been suggesting immediately after the insurrection somehow it wasn't trump supporters, it was antifa in disguise, this is what the tweet says, warnings that antifa would dress as trump supporters in the rally days in advance, she's raising the possibility it wasn't trump supporters. turns out the k file uncovered she it a friend. >> close friend. >> close friend, a friendwho took part in the capitol insurrection. how do we know? he's on video saying so. watch. >> we were all there. it was not antifa and it was not blm. it was trump supporters that did that yesterday. i am eight first to admit it. being one myself. >> so really no ambiguity. scott, my question, forget marjorie taylor greene for a second but ron johnson, right, in a hearing on capitol hill reading this revisionist stuff into the record, why are there some trying to say basically it didn't happen? >> i mean i feel lik

this conference is as reported earlier has been focused exclusively on her and not marjorie taylor greene are learning more information about what was happening inside the room. marjorie taylor greene addressed her past conspiracy theories, and i am told after she spoke, she received a round of applause from members of the room. some gave her a standing ovation. i am told there are defenders of hers also inside the room. even as there have been many defenders of liz cheney, critics as well, also defending marjorie taylor greene, despite the outrage we heard after the revelations, outrage from republicans and democrats alike. a lot of defenders too. >> let me ask you, what he said was fascinating, ryan. you're in the conference three hours. liz cheney, a career republican, a person so widely respected for integrity and her ethics, right, and this meeting is about her. yet the person who gets the standing ovation is the one that says 9/11 was a conspiracy theory, parkland was a false flag, obama should be hung, and i could go on. >> yeah. >> that's the person that got a standing ovation in

they had liz cheney, they were trying to grapple with marjorie taylor greene who had a history of very, very offensive racist slam phobic, anti-akhmet and i can conspiracy-laced charges and on the democratic side they're living with a republican party that they see as being guilty and rightfully so in some sense that they see being guilty and responsible for the violence january 6 flags if not directly no one is saying that they directly were responsible for the violence. but these were supporters of theirs and donald trump who came and sacked the capitol. and i had one democratic lawmaker say to me every time we see some of these lawmakers, including marjorie taylor greene, we think of that day and lisa, you know this, and we all are up in the capitol all the time. i think everyone is going through some sort of ptsd from that day which was deeply tring and for all of us, for staff and reporters, for members and for aides. and i think that's very, very acute with members of congress. lisa: sabrina, i want to ask you, the view from the white house, which is not really a place of relativ

last night, gop leadership met to discuss the future of marjorie taylor greene, the georgia republican who embraces qanon rhetoric and violent conspiracies. according to politico this morning, greene showed no remorse for extreme positions, which included past support for assassination of top democratic officials. politico also reports that kevin mccarthy and his top lieutenants are leaning towards removing green from one key house committee, not two. is that enough? the future of powerful house republican liz cheney also on the line after she had the audacity to vote her conscience in favor of impeaching trump for that capitol hill insurrection. but cnn's josh campbell starts us off. he's live in washington with more on officer sicknick lying in office. >> we take you live inside those images of the united states capitol rotunda, where the remains of fallen officer brian sicknick are lying in honor. swe we have seen members of the capitol police coming in to pay their respects, also members of the national guard. also lawmakers and staffers. that building remains closed to the general

marjorie taylor greene is not the only republican office holder who has been pushing but the only one republicans are contemplating admonishing. senator thune, i regret to inform you when it comes to embracing conspiracy theories and dangerous lies in general, house republicans have already made their decision. ryan nobles is on capitol hill. let's start with congresswoman liz cheney. what are you learning about how this meeting might go? might she have enough support to hold on to her leadership position? >> reporter: right now that is an open question. it is very difficult to find a republican in the house of representatives who is willing to predict the outcome of what is expected to be a very tense meeting behind closed doors. on one hand, you have the republican -- the segment of the republican party that's ready to move past president trump. certainly those 10 republicans that voted to impeach him a month ago, and even a broader group of republicans that were more along the moderate spectrum who believe it is time for the party to take the next step beyond trump. as you rightly

but let's get to today's big story: the battle over georgia congresswoman marjorie taylor greene, risingpublican star and the friend everyone ignores in the group text. greene is known for her history of deranged beliefs, ranging from racist conspiracy theories about jewish space lasers, to supporting calls to execute democratic politicians. now, democrats can't stop her from serving in congress, and they definitely can't stop her from saying crazy shit, but today, they decided to give her just a little less input on the running the country. >> tonight, house democrats taking unprecedented steps: stripping marjorie taylor greene of her committee assignments. >> she will be a member of the house of representatives for the next two years, but she's going to be a member without being able to serve on any of these committees. >> trevor: yes, people, marjorie taylor greene has been kicked off her committees. if you think about it, this is a pretty sweet deal for greene. basically, her punishment for acting insane was to do less work for the same amount of money. and, honestly, i think kicking

let's get to know her in our brand-new segment "fringe-watching." ♪ ♪ meet marjorie taylor greene. georgia's 14th district, right outside atlanta, and in life, she represents some views right outside of reality. >> marjorie taylor greene, she won her house race for a district in northwest georgia. she has in the past promoted that q anon conspiracy theory. >> q is a patriot, we know that for sure, but we do not know who q is. people believe that q is someone very close to president trump. according to him, many in our government are actively worshiping satan, or they call molach. is it going to be true that the child pedophilia and the elites in washington, d.c., is that what we're really going to see come out? is it going to be say tan, worship? >> trevor: q is in the house -- of representatives! marjorie taylor greene is hardly the first member of congress to hold some out-there beliefs. ted cruz police violence that beard is working for him. but q anon is not just extreme, it's delusional, people. how are you going to be in the government and believe that the government is full o

house of representatives is expected to remove freshman congresswoman marjorie taylor greene from her committee assignments. greene has become a flashpoint for democrats because of her violent, far right rhetoric and wild conspiracy theories prior to the election. republicans met behind closed doors but declined to penalize her. house minority leader kevin mccarthy described why they gave greene a pass. >> i denounce all of those comments. she came inside our conference and denounced them as well. she said she was wrong. she has reached out in other ways and forms and nothing that she said has been based upon since she's been a member of congress. the voters -- the voters -- no, the voters decided she could come and serve. >> congresswoman liz cheney, on the other hand, got an earful from some of her fellow republicans. they are furious she voted to impeach donald trump, but in a secret ballot she easily survived a move to take away her leadership role. here is what she said afterwards. >> we real dli have a terrific vote tonight, terrific time this evening laying out what we're going

certainly embraced marjorie taylor greene. so this is a real inflection point for the republican party and for the country. they have essentially opened the door to conspiracy theorists like marjorie taylor greene. these are dangerous ideas. the fbi has called qanon a domestic terrorist threat. and so this was a real missed opportunity. and it came down to democrats to be the kind of authority there and say, this will not be present on these committees in congress. but going forward, i think you'll see these conspiracy theorists flourish in the republican party. much different from what happened in the 1960s, when there were leaders of the republican party who said no to the birchers and kicked them out of the republican party. >> remember when the republican party liked to claim the mantle of personal responsibility. they felt they were for personal responsibility. the ethical pretzels they have now had to twist themselves in to support marjorie taylor greene are almost as tortured as the language that she used yesterday in tr

that's marjorie taylor greene. on the other side of this so-called civil war in the republican party, another woman in congress, congresswoman liz cheney, who is, of course, another heiress. in this case the heiress to the dick cheney political line. also like greene, she moved to run for office, in this case from virginia to wyoming. ask cheney represents a chamber of commerce neocon servetive republican party of the bush years. >>> now, to cheney's real credit, she voted to impeach the leader of the republican party donald trump with a very, very strong statement about him inciting a mob of insurrectionists to overrun the capitol. for that liz cheney is now facing the possibility of being voted out of house leadership. in fact, house republicans are meeting about this right now. she has fellow republican congressman matt gaetz showing up in wyoming to attack her leading a republican civil war against her. but stop yourself and ask this question. if liz cheney ran against marjorie taylor greene in a presidential p
