when it comes to the base, people like mitt romney have lost, right? they are no longer the direction of trump party. they're no longer the future of the republican party. but you saw from jeff flake over the weekend tweeting, mitt, people will catch up to where you are. i think that's really an open question at this point, whether or not republicans turn back around to people like mitt romney or whether or not people like romney are in the rearview mirror of the republican party. look. he double seem like he has any apologies when it comes to the positions he's taken. he's voted for impeachment not once, but twice. he was critical of the president when trump was in office at every turn he thought he needed to. that is a very different position than most republicans in the united states senate right now. he really is a man who stands on an island. >> can he be relevant in the future or has the party made this chemical change that cannot be reversed? i think i'm leaning toward one answer, but we'll see. lauren, thanks so much. it's great to see you. join

mitt romney say decent man. most politicians, most of our national leaders deserve the respect -- i would say all of them deserve the respect of the base of their parties regardless of whether you disagree with them. there's a way in our society, in a civil society and advanced democracy that you express your discontent with people's ideas and it's not that rauckus mob ment mentality booing of someone who has represented them well. >> john, let's take a look at new video that has emerged from president trump, addressing a crowd at mar-a-lago, once again spreading election lies, like the sad old elvis act he has been doing lately. >> i wouldn't be surprised if they found thousands and thousands and thousands of votes. so we're going to watch it very closely. we'll watch pennsylvania, georgia and watch michigan, and wisconsin. you're watching new hampshire. they found a lot of votes up in new hampshire. >> yeah, john, this is like watching the hall of discredited presidents at disney world. it's like he's an anima

i know mitt romney.n't need to be doing this. >> he has a wife who loves him. he is going home to children who -- and grandchildren would love and respect him. he knows who he is. when they boo, they don't boo -- they don't reveal the character of mitt romney. they reveal the character of themselves. you hear that and hear people acting that way. the question from anybody that's raised in a half decent family is, what would these people's mom and dad think of them? were they not raised better than that? if they have faith in god, i'm sure most of there people would claim to be christians, does jesus not teach them better than to act that way? to be that rude to a man for doing something that they know they should all do. and that is, condemn what's going on over the past four or five years. mitt romney, you watch this tape -- don't feel sorry for mitt. mitt is fine. mitt knows who he is. the problem, eddie glaude, is that those people booing in the audience and being extraordinarily disrespectful to a ma

we're not looking to get rid of the mitt romneys and liz cheneys. neither are liberals.ns, it gets we'der and we'der to talk to republicans. >> it does. two things we want to talk about the metrics for the way trump has narrowed the party is that in 2012 mitt romney represented a broad enough cross-section of the republican party to actually win the presidential nomination. and now he's a pariah within the party. the other thing i'll say, and i think is pertinent here, we're talking about this being a kind of generational shift of the republican party into a much more narrow and sectarian organization, it's interesting to note that both mitt romney and liz cheney are the familial descendents of people who were prominent members of the old republican party. mitt romney's father is famously, of course, the governor of michigan and the secretary of housing and urban development and liz cheney's father was the vice president to george w. bush. so, i think in a way, this is as direct a repudiation you can see of that era of the republican party as you can imagine. >> it's rem

mitt romney has a disagreement with that and, you know, these folks have been very vocal about that, nts on trump. what also happened at the convention was they had a vote on whether the censure mitt romney. all those people voted for mitt romney for president and they voted for george w. bush and donald trump. what president bush said in the earlier piece was correct, that joe biden and the democratic move to the left, that has been a unifying force. so i fully expect there to be intraparty squabbles over trump, and especially with people like mitt romney but when it comes down to it, the party has to unify around the idea that if we keep fighting amongst ourselves -- >> mia, i understand you have audio now. you had already seen what mitt romney was met with when he was at the gop convention. >> right. >> so then what are your views, is this representative of, you know, a party that can indeed come together, or one that will continue to be fractured? >> yeah, there was also a vote there, i don't know if everybody saw that, but there was a vote to censure. and it was 798-711, which wa

this morning two republican lawmakers, senator mitt romney and congresswoman liz cheney feeling the heatt trump by stating the truth about the election. over the weekend, romney barely escaped a censure by the utah republican party for his votes to convict in trump's impeachment trials. listen. >> what do you think of president biden? >> this is notable. h

and that being said, i saw the courage of mitt romney standing up many, many times last few years. up in congress and was so forceful. and as much as you would think i would be relishing this fight, i believe in the end you want to have two parties that embrace truth, otherwise how are you ever going to have debate? when you have a major faction of major political party literally denying results of election, literally some of them embracing qanon and other people are not decrying it, you have a major problem going on. i would be cheering mitt romney instead of booing him as people did at his own convention. >> then you'd need to get a ticket to utah, go to the convention. >> i know, i guess i wouldn't be invited. wouldn't get good reception if he didn't. but point of it, i brought him up several times in the democratic presidential debates from the stage because i think we need more people who are willing to speak truth to power. you look at insurrection, which you brought up, at that moment, that night, there were a bunch of people not just mitt romney and liz cheney who voted to

. >>> now mitt romney gets the trump effect. the former gop presidential nominee narrowly avoiding a vote this weekend. listen to the reception he got in his home state from his own party. >> you know me as a person. i say what i think. i don't hide the fact that i wasn't a fan of our last president's character issues. and i'm also known -- [ boos ] >> joining us now to discuss is peter wayner, he served in the reagan, george h.w. bush and george w. bush administrations. he is now a contributing writer at "the atlantic." what is the futurest republican part party that is anti-liz cheney and mitt romney? >> it's bleak in terms of morality and justice. as you said this is a party wed to a big lie. really whole series of big lies by a man who is perpetrating lies, morning, noon, and night. and so this is a party that i would say is a disease party right now. a dangerous party. people like liz cheney and mitt romney and adam kinsinger who dare to speak truth to this party and talk about the reality of things are targeted and in liz'

david, you did run against mitt romney. know even somebody like mitt, willing to say a lot of bizarre things, like ed if i really was from mexico, might get votes. they are willing to lower themselves, part of the base has need for guttural politics. the but i wonder at this point, since donald trump is pathetic, can't attack them on twitter or really hurt them, do you understand why as matter of politics republicans are genuflecting towards him? >> i am puzzled, joy, only nine years, less than since mitt romney was republican nominee, and being booed at state party convention, and the carnival barker cult leader, diminished as he may be at mar-a-lago has the republican party captive. it's cowardice so many seem fearful, afraid of immigrants, masks or some of vaccines. but above all afraid of getting on donald trump's bad side. and none of these people. i've met a lot of people who sought politics, didn't go in to pay all political capital at knees of one leader. there's issues they care about, tended to believe in the cons

mitt romney has the support of the people in utah. liz cheney, the people of wyoming. lisa murkowski, the people of alaska. but because of our closed primary system, because of election rules, they have to make it through this broken party process of the republicans right now to stand before general election voters. and i think that's one lesson we should draw from that. how do we make sure these people standing up on the right side of the constitution have the opportunity to stand before the voters in november? >> okay, to that point, i'm going to keep this with you, david, there is a new poll finding 46% of americans feel the bigger problem in elections is that the rules are not strict enough to prevent illegal voting. 45% say the bigger issue is that the rules make it too difficult for eligible citizens to vote. we're seeing more states advance laws that would make it harder for people to vote. and that includes your state of florida, passing a bill through the legislature there. the governor, ron desantis, is expected to sign it. is the republican strategy nothing

the conservatives in utah were never for mitt romney. he wasn't their choice.by conservatives, i'm not surprised he would get that reaction. >> what do you think he did that rejects conservatism? >> i can give you a long laundry list. >> just one. >> health care. >> how so? >> he continues to -- he was the architect of romney-care which became the template for obamacare and he's continued to not be a strong conservative on health care for a long, long time. that's one area. >> hold on. i'll take your example because i think it's relevant. charlie, this is new thinking. one, romney was your nominee in 2012, which means the party as a majority, accepted what he wanted. this notion that conservatives don't want everybody to have health care and conservatives don't think health care should be affordable -- >> that's not what i said, chris. >> i know it's not what you said, but you argued against romney's plan and that was his plan. >> it was a government solution not a market solution. >> there's no such thing as a market solution. >> mitt romney was not censured o

mitt romney is an outstanding senator who serves his state and our country well. we republicans need to remember that we are united by fundamental principles such as a belief of personal responsibility, individual freedom, opportunity, free markets, strong national defense. those are the principles that unite us. we are not a party that is led by just one person. >> that one person, as you know, she's refering to as trump. and she realizes, as many people in the republican party, that they are fighting for the soul of the party and which direction it will go. clearly those who defied the former president are paying some political price. jim? >> suzanne malveaux, thank you so much. >>> we have the perfect political political couple to talk about this, ana navarro and al, what does it say about the party that matt gaetz and marjorie taylor greene would get a better reception at a republican party event than mitt romney or liz cheney right now? >> there's a populous party that got reenergized when president trump was in office. it's paid a price. we lost the house, t

here is utah senator mitt romney yesterday being booed at the utah republican convention.ach, but it was a struggle for him to get those words out because of his words and votes previously against trump. >> and i'm also no fan -- >> show some respect! >> house conference chair liz cheney of wyoming has been attacked for standing up for the facts about the election and supporting the impeachment of trump for inciting the january 6 insurrection. this week after chaney came out in support of a commission that would focus on the insurrection, mccarthy and his deputy steve scalise both all-in election liars started attempting to undermine cheney in earnest. as councilman anthony gonzalez and other house voted to impeach trump, if a prerequisite for leading our conference is lying to our voters, then liz is not the best fit, unquote. it's my opinion that the united states needs a healthy, thriving, fact-based republican party. it is difficult to look at these events, all of them just from the last week and conclude that we have one. that does it for us today. make sure to tune i

senator mitt romney has also spoken out. and like cheney, voted for the former president's impeachment. here's how he was received this weekend, at a republican conference. >> you know me, as a person who says what he thinks. and i don't hide the fact that i wasn't a fan of our last president's character issues. >> the senator barely survived a censure vote from that group, not long after the booing finally stopped. but congresswoman cheney might no be so lucky when it comes to keeping her leadership position in the party. says that, after speaking with colleagues it's clear her support in the conference is waning. in the face of that, cheney, again, today, spoke out. and our jamie gangel joins us now with that breaking news. so, what more are you learning about what congresswoman cheney said today? >> it's clear, anderson, as you said. liz cheney is not afraid of donald trump. and what she did today was double down. she basically said that this is about truth, versus lies. this isn't even about the heart and soul of the rep

>> that was a fascinating moment on so many levels for those of us who have covered mitt romney over 's service to the party and sort of -- a real anger, you could see there, as he was booed well into his speech. romney has the liberty of being over the age of 70 and independently wealthy and he's not up until 2024. he could serve out his term and call it a career and enjoy his grandkids or try to come back in '24 and see where the party is. because, abby, who knows in '24 where the party is, especially in utah. his stature in utah with the general election is pretty -- >> totally different scenario. i want to get to tim scott who gave the republican response to joe biden's address. top part about policy, schools, et cetera, but the bottom part was all culture war, it was about race in particular. let's play what he said on thursday. >> today kids are being taught that the color of their skin defines them again. if they look a certain way, they're an oppressor. from colleges, corporations, culture, people are making money and gaining power by pretending we haven't made any progress at

. >>> plus, a tough crowd, utah republican senator mitt romney booed while speaking at the state gop convention. listen to his response to those in the room. >> also, the covid crisis in india is impacting families around the world. we're speaking to one woman managing her father's care from thousands of miles away. >>> welcome to sunday, may 2nd, we are always so grateful you wake up with us. >> always great to see you, christi. we start with some out of this world breaking news this morning. watch this. and i don't know if you can hear the applause but we have visual confirmation of the crew 1 resilience capsule. >> that is excellent news, we are splash down. >> welcome back to earth. four astronauts just making a safe return to the planet after a record breaking mission in space. the spacex crew splashing down safely in the gulf of mexico. you can see there, the capsule being pulled out of the water, making its way to the recovery vessel. >> that's the commander of crew one stepping on to earth for the first time here. there he is. since getting to the international space station.

mitt romney is a good man. he is taking a principle stand. when he looked down at the audience in utah last weekend, he said something important. he said aren't you embarrassed? aren't you embarrassed? really, aren't you ashamed at what you're doing? we all have to help them, but anderson, i want to take you back to post 9/11 and what was going on in the middle east then and what was i arguing at the time about the muslim world. you have to have a war of ideas. you have to have a war of ideas inside the slum. we can't change it from the outside. this is your story and narrative and republicans today need a war of ideas inside the republican party in order to make sure that honest and fair and positions of integrity and people triumph because if they don't and they get back into power, we are in real danger. i'm sorry, until they have this internal fight and the only way to cure that is to keep them out of power. >> republicans used to actually be a party of ideas whether one agree with them or not there were a lot of ideas floating around and

mitt romney has been another profile in courage. not many in the republican party. ger is one, romney, another, liz is a third. and i'm glad they're speaking out because it's important to be faithful to what you know to be true. but look, this caucus, this truth caucus could fit in a phone boot these days for the republican party. and oddly, you know, it is almost as if donald trump and the last year or so, we might look back and say that he was a restraining force on the madness in the republican party. and that once he left, those poisons that had been unleashed just spread further and further. so, this is a party, as i said, it's a diseased party and it's a dangerous party, and i am thankful for liz cheney and for mitt romney for speaking out. i wish more would join them. but the republican party having essentially accepted donald trump's corruptions for the last five years became complicit if th in those corruptions and he became them. there was all this talk during the trump presidency that there would be restraining forces on trump and that he would become more

mitt romney, who voted to convict trump not once but twice saying this. every person of conscience draws a line beyond which they will not go. liz cheney refuses to lie. as one of my fellow senate colleagues said to me i wouldn't want to be a member of a group that punished someone for following their conscience. that is sadly what dthe party i trying to do. the congresswoman is not on board with the gop's message. you got to wonder what their message is. what are their policy proposals? what's their plan for america? what is it? where are they -- what are they about? policy. how are they helping you. they doing for you. the go has been struggling to come up with any kind of coherent message at all. wrv they been standing up for lately? you really want to know? i have to say this every night and it's the truth. mr. potato head, dr. seuss. >> first they outlaw dr. seuss. and now they want to tell us what to say. >> i am sam, i am sam. that's sam i am. that's sam i am, i do not like that sam i am. do you like green eggs and ham? i do not like them sam i am.

mitt romney is the one that actually tweeted expelling cheney will cost the gop votes. congressman, agree or disagree. >> disagree in the short term. i think in the long term mitt romney is correct but when you're looking at 2022 and midterms, the polling again and fund-raising all points to the fact gop can take back the house if they use issues that are fiction, like stop the steal, like election integrity, which i think everybody know is a cover term for stop the steal. and you're looking at legislation across the country is working for them. so, again, i wish i can say that following trump in this sort of loyalty quotient you have everybody has to follow will be the death knell to the gop, but it's certainly not the policy now. it's about loyalty to president trump. that's really all we have right now. listening to the panel today, i'm just struck about what happened to me and what's happening to other people. but here's the one issue, the one reason liz cheney is being removed from the conference leadership is because she's not loyal to president trump. that is the

it seems like mitt romney got just that.hi, what does this say really about the allegiance inside the republican party to donald trump? >> well, yasmin, that's right. there is an allegiance. this isn't only a deeply divided party when it comes to policy. they're not arguing about how to increase health care, how to make sure that we are strengthening our economy, getting people back to work, they're divided when it comes to one man, and a man that not only lost the electoral college but lost the popular vote. and he's very unpopular in our country right now. and so it is very worrisome. if i were mitch mcconnell i'd be a little worried about this divide because as you're heading into the midterm elections, you want your party to have a sharp message about what they stand for. the opportunity that the republican party had at their last convention, they had an opportunity to lay out their values and in a platform. instead they said we stand for donald trump. and so going into the midterms and 2024, we don't know what the repub

mitt romney on the other hand, he's not up for re-election at 2024. even though he got boo'd at his republican convention this weekend, whether he will run for reelection again remains to be seen. and he will have to face voters again. >> thank you very much. joining me now is a former republican senator from arizona. senator, thank you so much for taking the tomb this morning. >> thanks for having me on. >> so mitt romney survived his vote. only narrowly in a state where he remains popular. he outpolled the president in the state in national elections. what does that tell you right now about who has the upper hand in the republican party? the trump wing or those who are willing to oppose the former president? >> it depends on which part of the republican party you're talking about. if you're talking about the subset of a subset that dominates republican primary votes, then he's at a slight disadvantage. if you talk about republicans generally, statewide, he's in much better shape. the problem is republicans all have to go through or republican primar

the unwelcomed reception mitt romney received is just one case in point.is whole life advocating on behalf of conservative causes get booed by the g.o.p. is embarrassing to the party. i think all of the comments they just showed really reveal the extent to which the g.o.p. suffers from the pro-trump wing and the wing that is much more moderate. at the same time in washington, i think some of the tensions within the republican party will at least to an extent be concealed by a fairly united front against biden's agenda. republicans may disagree on a lot. they certainly disagree about the direction that the future party should go. especially in the senate right now, mitch mcconnell continues to be extremely effective at whipping votes and ensuring solidarity in opposition to democrat endorsed legislation. so most of the fights are going to continue on into 2022 and likely into 2024. i still think that we will see fairly opposition by republicans to the democratic agenda as it is currently constituted. >> i want to keep talking about this, thomas. what is you

that senator mitt romney and senator lisa murkowski. the so, again, we are absolutely expecting that to fail to be filibustered and not to move forward. we still have to get to that point. we did hear from senator m murkowski yesterday. she said in part to been senator mitch mcconnell who said there doesn't need to be further investigation in this way. she is said to be making a decision for the short term political gain at the expense of understanding and acknowledging what was in front of us january 6th. i think we need to look at that critically s that what this is about? is everything just one election cycle after another?" mcconnell said there doesn't need to be further investigation in this way. there are law enforcement investigations. democrats have charged this is all politics. they simply don't want to be talking about this when the 2022 mid terms roll around as they look to take back majorities in the house and the senate. but again, kate, it's a long way before we even get to this procedural vote on january 6th at this point

washington post," the plans is being drafted by more than half a dozen lawmakers including republicans mitt romneys democratic senator joe manchin. romney said yesterday the group has come to a pretty close consensus. others insist talks are still ongoing. a group of gop lawmakers plans to present its latest counteroffer to the biden administration tomorrow. speaking to reporters yesterday, republican senator roger wicker said the following. joining me now, is anna palmer, a msnbc contributor. thank you for being with us and good morning, anna. normally, when i hear about a competing set of negotiations from one that has been going on for a while, it usually suggests that things are starting to splinter and that it doesn't necessarily look good. but in this case, the fact that joe manchin is in this group with these other republicans is pretty interesting to me. it also sends me the signal that he may want to continue these negotiations for a little while past memorial day which was kind of their previous deadline. what is your read on what is going on here? >> yeah, we got negotiations on negotia

mitt romney is an outstanding senator who serves his state and our country well. rty that is led by just one person. >> so that booing came just hours before romney narrowly avoided censure by his state party for voting for trump's impeachment. the utah resolution to censure -- ripe with inaccuracies at the ukraine investigation and the capitol siege on january 6th. it falls into a pattern where the gop seems to be embracing conspiracy theories including election fraud, which is now the basis for dozens of new state election laws. restricting access to the ballot. here is cnn's brian stelter. >> reporter: this is stunning. it's depressing. >> it is a simple question. a matter of fact, not opinion. did biden legitimately win enough votes for the presidency? >> three in ten americans say no. >> reporter: cnn's new polling by ssrs showing the blistering damage of the big lie. damage led by the former president. >> i ran two elections, i won them both. >> reporter: these lies are now being turned into policy. with republicans pushing bills in state legislatures that wo

gop senator mitt romney being booed by fellow republicans at the utah gop convention today.ng booed by his own side? >> pamela, it really is remarkable. as you pointed out, he was the nominee of the republican party eight years ago. could you imagine president barack obama going before a democratic audience and getting booed? it's as analogous that romney be booed. and it just shows the republican party right now that has an identity crisis and anyone who departs from the party line who even dares to criticize president trump is going to be ostracized by a large part of that party. >> so, let's turn to coronavirus, because that is just horrific. i mean, that is where the story is in so many ways, what is unfolding in india. it is personal for many americans. i imagine it's personal for you, the u.s. is home to more than 4.5 million people of indian des descent. you sit on the congressional india caucus as well as the progressive caucus, your district in the bay area including a large indian american population. what are you hearing from your constituents? >> pamela, it is pe

it's interesting they're shouting at mitt romney traitor communist.word is just simply going to be trotted out. i mean, it has no actual content here but this contrast you set up here really encapsulates where we're at. if i can point out one tidbit even though romney was booed, they had a vote whether or not to censure him and that was defeated. to the extent there's a glimmer of sanity in the party, a vanishing glimmer, you know, you saw a little bit of it but the crazy on full display this week. >> you know and there was a great observation on al velshi where he pointed out that romney and cheney are the old establishment of the republican patient. as you pointed out, mitt romney, you know, his father was an elected official. he was in the cabinet under republican president. liz cheney's father was former vice president of the united states and the senator from wyoming. so it seems as though the republican conference is doing is saying, umm, down with the establishment. i want kurt and charlie to have a listen to what liz cheney had to say about le

let's just start there with mitt romney's comments. is he right?ing, kasie. yes, i think mitt romney is absolutely right because not only are we going to see people turning away from the republican party, which we have and no one is joining the republican party. we've seen a decrease in registration to the party. but right now at the state and local levels we only see the most conservative people winning those primaries, the most trumpy of trump people out there endorsed by the state party. which means in swing districts, those candidates can't win. so, what should be based on 2022 win for the republicans is actually looking like it's going to be put in doubt especially since we found out that kevin mccarthy's hiding bad polling data on the former guy. >> wait. expand on that a little bit. what data has stuck out to you on that front? >> as far as it was reported that liz cheney was upset that polling data that she was internal republican polling data was not made public to their members, showing that donald trump was actually doing even worse toda

mitt romney is an outstanding senator who serves his state and our country well. cheney is a woman of strength and conscience. we need to be accepting of differences in our party. we don't want to become like too much of the democratic party which has been taken over by the progressive left. >>> former president donald trump, meanwhile, continues to perpetuate the big lie about election fraud. video has surfaced of him addressing a crowd at mar-a-lago last wednesday discussing the republican-led recount that's currently under way in arizona's maricopa county. he lost that county by more than two points but told the crowd, quote, watch arizona, adding, some very interesting things are happening. watch. >> let's see what they find. i wouldn't be surprised if they found thousands and thousands and thousands of votes. so we're going to watch that very closely and after that you will watch pennsylvania and you will watch georgia and you're going to watch michigan and wisconsin and you're watching new hampshire, they found a lot of votes up in new hampshire just now. >>

and then you have mitt romney, a thoroughly decent republican guy getting booed in utah.y, who is having the guts to stand up and do something that most men in the republican party won't do and frankly be honest about the big lie, and new she's being drummed out of her position. it's the worst getting on top. the incentives are all perverse. it's obviously a corrupt and dysfunctional organization. >> yeah, obviously. and if you look at the books that we grew up reading as conservatives, whether you talk about the road to surfdom. and i had the edition that had milton friedman's introduction. you look at the ideas in that book. you look at russell kirks, the conservative mind. you real bill buckley's books. there's such a massive disconnect. you read ronald reagan's speeches. margaret thatcher's speeches. there is no correlation between those ideas and those ideologies and actually this sort of bizarre house of mirrors where you've got twisted and distorted images of what being a republican means in 2021. no relation at all, philip bump. and here you have again, people who

over the weekend, you can probably hear it, mitt romney, the utah senator, was booed in his home state for his votes to convict the president during the impeachment trials. >> you know me as a person who says what he thinks. i don't hide the fact that i wasn't a fan of our last president's character issues. aren't you embarrassed? you might call me an old-fashioned republican. i am. our party -- [ crowd boos ] >> you can boo all you want but i've been a republican all my life. i was a republican nominee for president in 2012. >> so, romney narrowly avoided censure in utah but at least 15 other sitting republican lawmakers have been censured by either their state or local parties. >> and two republican secretaries of state in nevada and georgia were also censured. and they, along with the secretaries of state in michigan and arizona, have received death threats for certifying the election and refusing to cave into the lies. at the state and local level, a number of republican officials have been forced to step down for criticizing president trump's actions on january 6th right before th

mitt romney is an outstanding senator who serves his state and our country well. we republicans need to remember that we are united by fundamental principles such as the belief in personal responsibility, individual freedom, opportunity, free markets, a strong national defense. those are the principles that unite us. we are not a party that is led by just one person. >> reporter: that one person that collins is referring to, of course, is trump himself. another person under fire again, the number-three house leadership position, congresswoman liz cheney also floating the idea of a potential 2024 run, saying that she felt those who did not certify the january 6th election results should be disqualified from running, being criticized by trump allies as well as house minority leader kevin mccarthy for her outspoken views but also for the friendly fist bump that she gave president biden as he was walking down the aisle before his address to the joint session of congress. she defended the move saying it was just simply civil behavior, but there are some who feel that t

rare fire for mitt romney, what do we take away from the biden administration losing mitt romney?edy: what you are seeing is the gop is coming together on a very critical issue that is going to help them in the mid-terms next year. this issue is not going away, for no other reason than naivety and inaction. this administration is not doing enough. they are not working with kpg. they are not taking responsibility. the cruelty from the chaos here has real implications, not just for people who are trying to find work in the u.s. and have a better life because jobs have evaporated in places like el salvadoer and guatemala and honduras, flooding job markets along the border and will not be able to find work and they believe the border is open because coyotes are selling misinformation. they will get you into the country, they are lying to poor, vulnerable people and this admin stlagz is not doing enough about it. it doesn't know what to do in terms of immigration. they are all over the map and the kids are paying the price. >> jesse, kennedy brought up the economic environment in centr

last week the republican 2012 for presidential nominee mitt romney booed at his state's gop conventionblican governor faced disapproval of his own from the raucous crowd. now defending his record as a conservative and telling ing utahans -- governor cox, happy mother's day to your wife, stepmom and your mom, hope it's a joyous day for all of them. >> it's a great day. happy mother's day especially my wife gave fwobirth to our four s and gestational for my sister. historic and a great woman. >> what a cool story. anyway, let's go into the news here. a new jobs report this weekend was disappointing showing only 266,000 jobs added in the u.s. a quarter of the 1 unmillion projected. unemployment ticked slightly up. your fellow governors in arkansas, montana, decided to end the $300 extra unemployment in an effort to get americans back to work. unemployment is very low in yuyu utah. do you see the extra funds as a disincentive to work? >> unfortunately i think it is a good idea. the purpose of the funds absolutely critical during the pandemic, as we struggle now, we're towards the end of th

in utah senator mitt romney was at the republican convention there. he referenced his criticism and the ways he has not walked in lock step with former president trump. he avoided a censure from the utah republican party. he did not avoid boos for the positions he's taken. however, fellow republican senator susan collins came to his defense this morning. listen to how she put it. >> mitt romney is an outstanding senator who serves his state and our country well. we republicans need to remember that we're united by fundamental principles, believe in individual responsibility, freedom, free markets, a strong national defense. we're not a party of -- that is led by just one person. >> reporter: i think the thing that a lot of republicans probably can agree on is that they're not a party led by just one person because most republicans can't agree on who that person is who is going to lead them forward. there are several republicans caught in the role of donald trump going forward. we're seeing them with cheney and romney. there are senators likely is a mu
