so far he has pretty much shrugged his shoulders at this behavior from paul gosar, marjorie taylor greenelked to congresswoman ilhan omar before that censure vote and i asked her about her feelings about all this. she told me i think the presence of many of my colleagues on the republican side has made us feel less safe. do you believe that mccarthy has paved wait for more incidents like this, by just turning the other way and not enacting any sort of consequence for these members? >> yeah, hey, jessica, good to be with you. yes, kevin mccarthy paved the way, but, you know what, jessica, the whole republican party has, the whole republican establishment and the republican leadership has paved the way for this ignorance and this bigotry and, look, the incitement to violence, i served with kevin mccarthy, he's a tool, he wants to be speaker of the house, he would throw his mom under the bus to become speaker, so he's got to appease the paul gosars and the marjorie taylor greens of the world to become speaker. but, jessica, here's kevin mccarthy's problem. there are going to be more marjorie

patting paul gosar on the back, and not only pledging to restore them to the committee seats they were stripped from for their behavior, but to give them promotions. >> you plan to give marjorie taylor greene and paul gosar their committee assignments back if you take the majority? >> they'll have committees. committee assignment they have now, they may have other committee assignments. they may have better committee assignments. >> that's an ata boy for gosar from leadership after he posted a video of murdering his colleague. and keep in mind, there are dozens of people auditioning right now to be the next and most extreme house republican. things don't stop, right? media matters for america has found nearly 50 2022 congressional candidates who have embraced qanon. if you think this freshman class is bad, oh, man, just wait. yes, not all these candidates are gauche to win, but some probably will, or some other person with these fringe extreme beliefs will, this animus towards the legitimacy of democratic governance. next year is likely, we don't know the future, as we have learned from the pandemic, but it's likely to be quite favorable to republicans. on the one hand, that's just

civility can survive in congress, vowing if republicans take the house he will reinstate paul gosar or marjorie taylor greene or promote them and retribution against democrats. >> this isn't about threats. it's about holding people accountable. >> so just to keep it all straight, congressman gosar is the death threat anime guy, and marjorie taylor greene is the jewish laser lady. still one item tonight provides a sliver of hope that dr. king said still bends toward justice. in new york the exoneration of two men wrongly convicted in the 1965 assassination of malcolm x and a remarkable apology from the current manhattan district attorney. >> i apologize for what were serious, unacceptable violations of law and the public trust. i apologize on behalf of our nation's law enforcement for this decades-long injustice which has eroded public faith in institutions that are designed to gaurn tuarantee equal protecf the law. >> the trial of three men charged in the killing of ahmaud arbery. martin savidge. >> the prosecution rested on tuesday after eight days and 23 wens. the defense rested after two days and s

. >> do you plan to give marjorie taylor greene and paul gosar their committee assignments back if you>> they'll have committees. the committee assignment they have now, they may are have other committee assignments. >> gosar received an endorsement from the former president today. "the washington post" subject up republican reaction this way. trump and mccarthy's remarks underscore that the firsting distrust among members of congress after the january 6th attack on the capitol is only likely to worsen in the lead-up to next year's midterm elections. still with us, don callaway and susan del percio. don, given what we heard from the house minority leader today, how worried are you that republicans will, in fact, not just take the house in 2022, but but will exact retribution from democrats? >> there's a very good chance they'll take the house, as fortunate as that prospect may seem. not only will they take the house, but as we saw, kevin mccarthy plans to reward, plans to elevate members of congress who have done the most absurdist things possible, including advocating for the killing

kevin mccarthy indicating that the two members, paul gosar and marjorie taylor greene who became the first members to be stripped of their committee assignments by a majority party in the house, he would essentially put them back in those positions in the new congress if he were to win back the house majority next fall. now the question also is what will republicans do to retaliate. mccarthy reiterating that there would be retribution against democrats and potentially remove them from their committee assignments in the aftermath of what happened to paul gosar yesterday in the house. when i had a chance to ask the speaker of the house nancy pelosi about concerns she may have that republicans may retaliate against her members, she pushed back. >> are you at all comfortable with the very -- the likelihood that if republicans take the majority they may retaliate against democrats, remove them from their committees for any perceived or any serious opens that may happen? >> the inference that i draw from your question that we should not have censured mr. gosar for his shameful behavior for

look at marjorie taylor greene, paul gosar, matt gaetz, the list goes on and on.essing the fringe of maga elements taking over the gop entirely because of the way they now command such a large space in the narrative that comes out of the republican party? >> i think in any other context, lauren boebert would just be a bad open mic comedian. but in this current political climate where you have an unregulated internet and lies that are able to proliferate, the trolls are who the base of that party are voting for. she's a really good troll, and that was not a genuine apology. she did exactly what she intended to do, which was make a clip that was easy to put on facebook for people to watch. she was appealing to the base, which has been -- i mean, we could talk about what draws people into republicanism, but right now they are people who are voting for people who don't have their best interests in mind. and whatever she's doing is working, and it's a bummer to see it. it is homophobia and islamophobia and all those things. it's lauren boebert who's carrying a gun like

paul gosar. >> do you plan to give marjorie taylor greene and paul gosar their committees back if you take majority those are the ones he wants, taylor-greene, she was a freshman. she has requested others. she has a right to serve on committees. >> joining us now is tim gosar, brother of congressman paul gosar. thank you very much for joining us tonight. really appreciate it. what was it like for you yesterday watching your brother censured by the house of representatives? >> good evening, lawrence, it's great to be here. thank you for having me. appropriate. i mean, i think the conduct and what's happened fits the crime and the punishment fit, so it was appropriate. disappointing that he's pushed things this far and he's become this unhinged, but the censure was totally appropriate. >> we saw him on the house floor yesterday afternoon say out of compassion he deleted the tweet that the video was in. and then as your sister pointed out here last night, after the vote, after he was censured, he then re-tweeted it, in effect, tweeted the video once again, and then a few hours after that, after your s

he knows he needs the votes of people like lauren boebert, paul gosar, marjorie taylor greene to be speakerprising either. this is all about politics. >> yeah. one 100%, erica. remember, kevin mccarthy in 2015 was supposed to be the guy who stepped in as the leader of republicans when john boehner stepped down. he goes into a meeting with his conference, he emerges from that and says i'm not going to run. why? because the house freedom caucus turns against him, the most conservative republicans in the republican republican conference. he's not going to let that happen again. he's not going to let it happen. again, it is not leadership. it is the absence of leadership, not stepping up and saying this is wrong because it is wrong whether it is good for me or not politically. but he's not going to be the guy to do it. we have seen it happen with the other members of congress. we'll see it happen with boebert too. >> this sort of battle happening not just between democrats and republicans, but within the republican party, marjorie taylor greene, who chris mentioned attacked fellow house republi

kevin mccarthy is vowing what will happen to representative paul gosar if the gop takes back the house in 2022. >> you plan to give marjorie taylor gosar their committees now? >> the committee assignments they have now, they may have more committee assignments then. they may have better committee assignments. >> paul gosar was stripped of his committees yesterday after he photoshopped a cartoon making it look like him killing representative ocasio-cortez. joining us now is jennifer gosar. good to see you. are you satisfied with the punishment your brother got yesterday? >> i'm satisfied it's a good first step, but in no way, shape or form does it pay for the crimes my brother committed. i use the word "crimes" because that's what they are. >> beyond just tweeting out this violent imagery, i know you have long maintained that he has done other things worthy of censure or removal, such as? >> my goodness. in threatening to endanger the life of a colleague repeatedly. this most recent anime threat is not the first. it was recorded of him having done it previously. it was maybe less graphic, but he was a superhero again, had the abil

several months because there's a lot of pressure on him from the group, matt gaetz, marjorie taylor greene, paul in the caucus, the liz cheney's, adam begin sin -- tremendous pressure to go after that group, and we heard marjorie taylor greene say on the matt gaetz pod kcast that recent days that mccarthy doesn't have the votes that he needs to lock down the speakership if republicans take over. so there's going to be a tremendous amount of pressure on him from this small, but growing flank of the party, and at the same time, if he doesn't act, if the house republican caucus doesn't kind of reign in these members, the democrats who still control the majority have made clear this they are going to start having these censure votes. i think that's the kind of political struggle that we're seeing go on right now! i mean, dean, since you think that one apologetic tweet does not erase the hate that this inspires, what do you think should happen next? >> i think she should be censured, put republicans on the line. let them say, are they okay with anti-muslim bigotry, and let's be plblunt, as a party, t

bigotry and violence, republican leaders could refute that dramatically by kicking out paul gosar or marjorie taylorene and say no, this is not who we are but in fact, they embrace them and treat them like rock stars so this is objectively true but the contrast between the anger against the members who voted for bridges and roads versus the absolute indifference to somebody like paul gosar says something. mentioning the word traitor. it's the entire trust of this argument that we are in this massive war for the future of the country and they mean it literally, they are fighting against forces who hate america, who hate god trying to destroy the country and the president when he says that the insurrection was on november 3rd, not on january 6th is really fermenting that apocalypse vision you have to fight violently to protect your country and that will have consequences in a country with as many guns as we have. >> professor freeman, for me reading, one thing to have marjorie taylor greene with nothing to do because she's not on a committee say these folks are traitors but reading reports that those

. >> and paul, let's listen to what marjorie taylor greene said about kevin mccarthy recently. pretty astounding. >> we know that kevin mccarthy has a problem in our conference, we doesn't have the full support to be speaker. he doesn't have the votes that are there because there's many of us that are very unhappy about the failure to hold republicans accountable while conservatives like me, paul gosar, and many other just constantly take the abuse by the democrats. i'm demanded it. i want adam kinzinger and liz cheney kicked out of the gop conference. >> do you respect the republican leadership right now? >> no, no. i don't respect it at all. i can't respect leadership that doesn't hold people accountable. >> what do you think about that, paul? i mean, we should point out marjorie taylor greene did tweet, "i just got off a good call with gop leader kevin mccarthy, we spent the time talking about solving problems, not only in the conference but for our country. i like what he has planned ahead." it's almost as though, you know, these were two world leader who hopped on the phon

look, the pattern has been clear, whether it is marjorie taylor greene, paul gosar, others along thest winter on cnn.com, extremist wing in the gop has become too big to confront. party leadership is unwilling to discipline any of the members in large part because donald trump has so successfully and relentlessly torn down walls between the mainstream gop and the more extreme voices in american society. there's a clear pattern, someone used the word of normalizing this kind of rhetoric and threat. it is now i think too big to fail inside the gop coalition. >> you mention marjorie taylor greene. she's weighing in. tweeted never apologize to islamic terrorist sim pa theissers and those that fund murder with our tax dollars. she says they're all three undeserving of an apology. when you say this fringe faction is too big to confront, is it just now the main, into the normalized main base of the republican party? >> absolutely. you look at the polling that's clear the last couple years, particularly the trump era, that republicans draw support predominantly from voters that are most unea

>> he's more in charge of it than marjorie taylor greene and paul gosar who have been stripped of theirdish and insulting comments and social media activity. for marjorie taylor greene to try to act like she's the spokesperson for conservatives in washington, d.c., it's quite laughable. look, it's really important -- i think mccarthy should have done a lot more with regard to lauren boebert aside from having a conversation with her and saying -- >> you think she should be thrown out of congress? >> i think the apology was important. she should have done that. there's no space for these kind of comments and this incendiary language on both sides, whether we're talking about anti-semitic, anti-muslim, there's no place for that for members of congress. but the frustrating thing is when we have people that are elected to congress that are less concerned with legislativing and more concerned with instigating. that's the problem here. marjorie taylor greene and gosar have been stripped of their committee assignments. >> mccarthy is saying they get these committee assignments back. that doesn'

. >> do you plan to give margery taylor greene and paul gosar their committee assignments now? ommittee assignment now, they may have better committee assignments. i think with gosar, those are the ones he wants. taylor greene, she was just a freshman. she has a right to serve on committees. >> congresswoman, what is your reaction to that? the fact that after he was censured for the first time in ten years, a congressman on the house floor and only the 24th congress person ever censured by the u.s. house of representatives, the leader of the party said nothing? >> i know and it was a very serious issue. what representative gosar did is both despicable and beneath the office he holds. no other workplace in america would tolerate such dangerous conduct and neither should the house of representatives. i was proud of the democratic leadership that moved swiftly to censure him and remove him from his committees. mccarthy, he also is a disgrace. he didn't accept any responsibility for this. he should have. it's really very serious. promoting political violence has real consequences. m

from but to give them promotions. >> do you plan to give marjorie taylor greene and paul gosar, their committee assignments back? >> they all have committees. the committee assignment they have, now they may have other committee assignments, they may have better committee assignments. >> that is an added point for gosar. from leadership, after he posted a video of murdering his colleague. and, keep in, mind there are dozens of people, auditioning right now to be the next most extreme house republican. things don't stop, right? for america, we have found nearly 50 2022 king grass candidates, who -- if you think this freshman classes, bad just weeks. u.s., not all of these candidates are gonna. win but at one point they will. or some other person with these fringe extremes beliefs will, they're this animus to wards this legitimacy of democratic governance. next, year it's likely, we don't know the future, as we learned from the pandemic. but it is likely to be quite fair for republicans, and on the one hand that's the sort of the result for political gravity. congress often swings, duri

er that trying to distance them sfz from donald trump and because of paul gosar and marjorie taylor greeneald trump embracing these wildly outrageous and incendiary actions, the republicans are making it about themselves again and the most wild extreme elements. in you want to win the midterms you wan to make this about the democrats and their agenda. but if the incendiary folks are on the stage make these outrageous comments and awful videos, how does that help the republican party. none of this makes any sense. think what happened, on tuesday they spent the better house of the morning in the republican conference excoriating john katko for voting for a infrastructure bill. he's a good honorable man in a swing district and remaining silent about paul gosar's horrible video. that resulted in a censure. so this doesn't make any sense from a political perspective. >> you make a good point. so jamie, what does this all this say about what is going on in today's republican party? >> well, as charlie said, you really wonder what they're doing. but just look at the numbers on that censure vote.

leader of the caucus doesn't set an example, rhetorically or even by his actions, then the paul gosars and marjorie taylorens are given green lights to create an atmosphere of menace around the capitol that has been there since january 6. congressman cori bush moved her office from next door to marjorie taylor greene because of the menace. marjorie taylor greene has gotten into fights with congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez, liz cheney, jamie raskin and she's able to do that because house minority leader kevin mccarthy hasn't said anything and the idea that he hasn't said anything about this paul gosar video that twitter had the good sense to finally take down tells me all i need to know about how fearful and concerned we should be about a speaker mccarthy if the republicans take control of the house next year's midterms. judy: gary, who is responsible for this and do you see a turning back from this kind of language? >> i hope there's a turning back and i think it needs to come from everybody in congress saying, wait a minute, i'm in the united states congress, i'm not a 12-year-old playing a video g

republicans including leadership and kevin mccarthy have said that what they're seeing happens, paul gosar and marjorie taylorrity. we interviewed a ton of republicans about this. ilhan omar and congressman swalwell think they should have the same type of sensor. it's a real possibility. we speak with pelosi, she says no democrats are threatening the lives of other members so she stops worrying about it. >> alayna treene, thank you so much. >>> thank you to all ofl you for waking up way too early with us. "morning joe" is about to start. who's more handsome and charming, jason sudeikis or willie geist? >> here health providers have been told to give a booster shot to all who wants them. any chance we can expand to those adults who don't want them? because they're the problem. >> we'll talk to mayor de blasio and ted lasso, jason sudeikis. steve bannon pleads not guilty on the attack. paul gosar is booted from his house assignments after posting a violent cartoon threatening his colleagues. can lawmakers finally get a grip after weeks left to deal with the debt limit and a possible shutdown. that's the questio

this past week where he made it sound as though marjorie taylor greene, people like marjorie taylor greene, paulsaid probably promoted and have better committee assignments. no. i'm not worried, jim. i'm going to keep doing my job and kevin mccarthy and tucker carlson smeared me for many years with falsities and my constituents, my family, the american people know the truth. that's why we have to make a clear. we delivered on build back better, the president signed the law this week and republicans divide. end of the day, a pretty winning message. >> ask you about january 6th. this man qanon chairman sentenced to 41 months in prison in connection with the attack at the capitol. his lawyer offered this message to former president trump. pretty salty but we'll play it for viewers. >> i would say probably far more effective over, with former president trump and tell him, you know what got a few [ bleep ] things to do, let me clear lis [ bleep ] mess up and taking care of the jackasses you [ bleep ]ed up. >> ever see accountability for donald trump? seeing accountable for people like the qanon shama

but he's unapologetic, and what's sad about today's politics is people like, you know, paul gosar and marjorie taylore are able to monetize their notarize. you know, ordinarily if you had been sanctioned like this, you would lose a lot of friends, and people would be less inclined to suspect and your campaign and probably would be the end of your career, but nowadays they are able to go out there and raise a lot of small dollar contributions and they will make money off of this, but i think it's incumbent upon house leaders, in this case house republican leaders, to deal with problems within their own conference. i witnessed john boehner and paul ryan deal with members who became distractionors embarrassments forcing them to resign. nancy pelosi did the same thing with anthony weiner and eric massa and others. i remember these experiences. they dealt with their problems internally to avoid a public spectacle like we witnessed yesterday. >> some democrats have said this ken sure is not strong enough condemnation. that it should be expulsion. what do you think? >> well, expulsion -- i believe there's b

you know, you could argue maybe you could see somebody like paul gosart or marjorie taylor greene orrepublicans signed this, including all three current and past republican leaders, just embarrassing. >> that's interesting, we hadn't heard those details before. that was interesting for you to go and take a closer look inside there for us. >> looks like a fascinating documentary, looking forward to it. jake tapper, thank you, we'll hand it back in an hour. >> thank you, sir. good to see you guys. >> like wise, and be sure to joi join jake for his new cnn special report. trumping democracy, an american coupe. >>> this could be a step forward in the fight against covid. pfizer says the experimental pill reduces the risk of hospitalization, and death from the coronavirus by 89%. >>> joining us now is cnn senior medical continue elizabeth cohn, this sounds significant, what do we know about this clinical trial? >> alisyn, it is significant. what's also significant is a pill by merck, an antiviral where results were announced a couple of weeks ago. these could be a game changer once people

>> no, because go back and look whether it's marjorie taylor greene, we've seen comments made over and over and over again. paul, right? kevin mccarthy has not been the one to come down on her. marjorie taylor greene is not on any commit particular call committees. paul gosar was censured not because of kevin mccarthy but because of a house. if anything happens to lauren boebert, it's because of the house. when john boehner resigned suddenly in the mid 2000s. kevin mccarthy was widely seen as the guy. he goes into a meeting and he pulls himself out. kevin mccarthy is not mindful of that. he has spent the decade plus since making sure he's solid with these folks and with their majority in reach, less than a year away, he's not going to be the guy that's going to endanger it. i would argue that's an absence of leadership that is significant. whether or not it's good for you politically, when someone says what lauren boebert said, or paul could he saar and others, we can't be surprised. this is who kevin mccarthy is. >> he needs those votes to become speaker. >> absolutely. >> i do think he's going to get a lot of

[ laughter ] also, you'd think if you had within the last 12 months helped foment a violent insurrection where rioters actually chanted they wanted to kill the vice-president, you'd wouldn't go by the killer gs. that's a little too on the nose. it's like we found out "the new york times" spelling bee was designed by the zodiac killer, which wouldn't surprise me [ laughter ] only a seriously twisted mind could come up with such an elaborate form of psychological torture. yesterday i spent the entire day trying to find every last word in the puzzle, and when my kids asked me what they could do to get me to make them dinner i said, "find me a word that uses all seven of the

felt there's a major failure in that regard, and i'm glad she's apologized, but marjorie taylor greene and paulre crack down, deal with it internally. republicans should have taken her off the committees. they should not have let that go to the house floor, as an example, but they didn't. i served with john boehner and paul ryan, and i watched them with people who became embarrassments or distractions. they took strong action. too many members don't feel much shame and figure out a way to monetize their bad behavior. >> the trolling is the point, really more than anything else. if lauren boebert worked in pretty much any other place, she would be fired for this, but the voters ultimately have to decide whether to fire her. what are your thoughts on why republican leaders are silent on this? >> because they're absolutely spineless, jim. there clearly are not enough like charlie dent or adam kinzinger who is the only one who tweeted out that lauren boebert is trash. he's right, and they need to step up to the plate if they want to be considered real leaders. the problem is, who is it that they ar

he's previously promised to reinstate the committee assignments of paul gosert and marge ree taylor greencan leadership and rank and file members about these comments? are they going to let this slide? >> today a moderate republican, telling cnn they believe mccarthy is taking the middle of this conference for granted. the moderates. they could have a bigger problem with the moderates in winning back the gavel because embracing the extremists will alienate some critical voters. they are also warning the two wings of the party are headed for a collision course. that if mccarthy fails to rein in the fringe members of the party, moderates will start speaking out saying quote, our side isn't going to take this much longer. >> we'll see. thank you for that report. >>> how china is trying to silence the conference about tennis star who has not been seen in public in weeks. ♪ i'm chi lan, i am a mom, and a real estate agent. after having a kid, everything that you used to do for yourself goes out the window. the lines that i was seeing in my forehead were getting deeper than i was used to them b

in the house and the incredible silence we have heard from him after this week, after paul gosar, after marjory taylor the 13 republican members who voted for the bipartisan infrastructure bill traitors. he said nothing. doesn't that add to the permission structure that david is rightly warning about? >> absolutely. and if you look at kevin mccarthy, his own act, his own words, he peddles in this violence. he jokingly said he was going to throw a gavel at pelosi the moment he became speaker. and it sounds funny, but this is more saying you are signaling what is acceptable. and this whole idea of creating and using words against your fellow colleagues would not be acceptable, jonathan, in any other workplace. and we do not have to look too far in our past to recognize that when violence is used online it does translate into tragedy. we only have to think of what happened in el paso. we only have to think of, sadly, what happened in the tree of life synagogue, and the list goes on in short order of what happened when donald trump did the exact same thing. and every single person that has created such ch

the house next year they may retaliate against democrats for removing republicans marjorie taylor greene and paul from their committees. are you worried about that? >> i don't think we'll have members that will try to kill people on videos or anything else like we've seen from the republicans this session so, you know, should that happen, i think they also should be censured. you know, i think just kind of looking the other way, this is all a culmination unfortunately of four years of donald trump really brewing hate across this country. we can't let members of congress who have to work together continue this behavior. i think we took the right action yesterday. i wish more republicans would have stood up and showed they had a spine to do the right thing. but i think the american people understand you can't put yourself in a video killing one of your colleagues. any other job you'd be booted. >> thank you for your time, democratic congressman mark pocan. >> thank you. >>> up next new revelations about the stunning document that purported to tie donald trump to russia with some salacious allegatio

paul gosar or maybe marjorie taylor green. >> neil: so the republican leaders with kinzinger and cheney, they didn't think this action, whatever it is, on the part of gosar was elevated to necessarily censuring him. they condemned his remarks and said he apologized. he should have apologized. but they left it at that. that became the tussle and the debate as to if this isn't the kind of thing that gets you censured, nothing should. back and forth. so in the meantime, i'm curious, chad, how long is someone censured for and how -- obviously you're put on legislative equivalent of a time-out chair. but how long are you there and what can't you do? >> a censure is permanent. that's it. charlie rangel, the way the resolution was written, he was allowed to keep his committee assignments. he was the chair of the tax writing committee. but this one formally removes paul gosar from the oversight committee and the natural resources committee. let's say republicans win control in 2022 and take charge in 2023. republicans could decide -- that's a new congress, could decide to put him back on commit

he did say on thursday that he expected to reinstate paul gosar as well as marjorie taylor green.is playing both sides of the fences here trying to appease centrists by letting them vote on the infrastructure bill and then also saying but these more controversial members, i will give you plumb committee spots if i'm speaker. >> it does show just how mainstream just how in the mainstream the right wing gop, the house gop is in embracing some of that violent language and at times extremist views. just the fact that you have kevin mccarthy around who is very conscious, you can tell, of the fact that they could retake the majority in the mid term going forward. he wants that leadership position and you're seeing an appeal to not just moderates but also folks on the far right that embrace the fringe views. what that means going forward, whether or not we continue to see a normalization and a real embrace and honestly acceptance of some of those views, there's a question of that's the future of the house gop at this point. >> what is the future of the house gop? not even the house gop,

leader kevin mccarthy spoke yesterday, vowing to reinstate and possibly promote both paul gosar of arizona and marjorie taylorene of georgia if republicans regain control of the house in next year's midterm elections. earlier this week, let's remember the house voted to senn chur gosar and strip him of his committee violence after he posted cartoons depicting violence against democrats. last year the democrats voted to remove taylor greene from her roles over her debunking theories including qanon. mccarthy tried to point the finger at democrats. >> why is it the only things republicans will punish one of their own members for in congress is speak out against donald trump? >> i don't understand your question. >> the only republican member who's been in any way punished -- >> i'm sorry, did she lose her role in the committee? >> she lost -- >> that's the election. she lost an election. i'm sorry. people lose elections all the time. there's no basis there. >> why do republicans not feel compelled to hold anyone accountable for what democrats have been so upset about? >> really. let's talk about this since you r

and the republican party, you know, people on the far right, people like marjorie taylor green and madison hawthorne and paular and so son. today the cqanon shaman receive his sentence. sure, people can go after him. until this government is serious and goes after people who incite political violence in this country. it's going to continue. we are going to have those problems until unfortunately we may have some sort of events in this country. kevin mccarthy becomes speaker of the house. the clausest way to become speaker of the house by allowing this to go on. he owns the consequences of whatever happens. there is just no other way around it. >> we'll have more on the sentencing of this of the shaman. everybody standby. there is a lot more news. a review of evidence and a request for a mistrial as jurors spent a second day deliberating the fate of kyle rittenhouse. all the breaking news on the trial, coming up next. >> man: what's my safelite story? my truck...is my livelihood. so when my windshield cracked... the experts at safelite autoglass came right to me... with service i could trust. right, girl? >>

women being harassed, really by these members of congress, whether it's marjorie taylor greene or lauren boebert or paulment, and the republican leadership has a responsibility to do something about it. it's not funny. these jokes are just not funny. listening to her and everything you just played, it's stomach turning. >> scott, you do want to get your reaction about pete buttigieg. you were saying a few moments ago, this is not the future of the party, but if kevin mccarthy or house leadership -- you're right, mitch mcconnell will not do anything on the senate. he has his side of things to worry about, but if the house leadership does not do something about it, doesn't this go unchecked? and this potentially could become at least part of the house republican party? he believes, and a lot of republicans believe it's a near lock that the republicans will take control of the house and not by a small margin. so he's trying to hold this thing together until then. and, you know, keep the party from, you know, collapsing on itself because of some idiots on the fringe in the meantime. it's a full-time job. he

paul gosar of -- of -- or marjorie taylor greene or boebert or any of these people. do anything. he's a pretzel he's so tied in a knot. just laugh at him. just be amused by it. but don't -- don't get in the volley in this. it's not the place you want to be. >> so, what -- i mean, what happens? the more people get elected like this, who are just mining their social media profiles, trying to get more instagram followers and tweets and stuff like that. what happens to not only the republican party but also just our democracy? >> well, we got a problem. we got a lot of crazy people in this country and a lot of 'em vote. and we got to work really hard and people like me, the democrats, have got the only chance for this country. we got to work hard to -- to try to win as many elections as we can. but this country's always had a lot of crazy people, and seems like now we might have more than normal. but the response to them can't be we'll see your crazy and then we'll raise you another crazy. the response is we're not getting in this game. we're -- president biden's doing a
