the white house invited fraudster al sharpton and a assorted racial activist to participate in its voting rights performance in philadelphia. now, it was kind of an odd choice of venue given it was a place where democrats believe all those white racist men got together during the racist constitutional convention. president biden spoke for 25 minutes or so and told about the same number of lies about the suppose it impediments to voting in the united states, all of course, created or tolerated by republicans. >> in texas, for example, republican legislature wants to allow partisan poll watchers to intimidate voters and imperil -- impartial poll workers. they want voters to -- be in a position where they wonder who is watching them or intimidate them, to wait longer to vote, they want to make it so hard and convenient that they hope people don't vote at all. >> laura: inconvenient to cheating, mr. president. now, i believe i counted four or maybe five lies there, before the the record, texas legislator gave poll watchers free movement, except of course contrary to what biden alleged, not wh

we are back with the reverend al sharpton and tara setmayer. of pelosi's, quote, the volatile former president and pelosi foe is long gone from the white house, but still haunts capitol hill. and as much as some in her party might want to move on from trump, the speaker has made over seeing an investigation of the deadliest attack on the capitol in two centuries into a core mission this year, putting her squarely in the path of the former president who democrats said played a central role in the insurrection. the truth is there is no moving on from january 6th, now, is there? >> no, and i have to say that nancy pelosi is a boss. i spent a lot of years battling nancy pelosi and democrats on the other side of the aisle, and i have to give her credit where credit is due. she is stepping up as speaker of the house, using every resource available to her to make sure that the insurrection is investigated and taken seriously. what happened on january 6th is a national tragedy, and the republicans trying to white wash it and gaslight the american peopl

reverend al sharpton and "politicsnation" starts right now. >>> good evening, and welcome to "politicsnation." tonight's lede, a time for struggle. right now i'd say i'm watching the opening skirmishes in the central political battle of this next year. texas democrats are staying away from their home state to protest its special legislative session to pass voter restrictions. but in reality, they are still fighting, petitioning the u.s. senate to eliminate the filibuster threat that continues to block any federal voting rights legislation. and because of the senate's inaction, they have to face the threat of arrest issued by their own governor. as leaders of the congressional black caucus and voting rights activists have already been arrested for protest in solidarity. in a larger national sense, it dramatizes the point we who have lived under threat have always made, which is that without the teeth of federal legislative action, minority voters are at the mercy of conservative state lawmakers. so it fits that deep red texas is now at the center of this upheaval in which the state's black an

joining us now the reverend al sharpton, host of "politics nation." sam stein is still with us.w blunt did it get in there? did you lay it all out? >> very blunt. i think we made it very clear to the president the outrage that people feel all over this country that we are sitting at a time with the supreme court last week saying you can change the voting restrictions, the voting operations in a state as long as you don't just outright tell people they can't vote. if you make it more difficult. if you cut down on voting sites, if you do anything to make it inconvenient. well, that really doesn't affect their right to vote which, in effect, is saying to states, do what you want to do if you want to make it difficult based on race, based on the geography of a state and we're not going to rule against you. this is dangerous. this is why we wanted to meet with the president. he invited us in and to say we want to see you and the vice president use your bully pulpit and your negotiating skills in the senate and the congress. but we're going to mobilize a movement all over this country

going to turn it over now to reverend al sharpton and "politics nation." >>> good evening, and welcome to "politics nation." tonight's lead, drama in the district. on tuesday, a congressional committee begins its investigation into the january 6th insurrection, an event seared into the memory of washingtonians the same way new yorkers such as myself will never forget the events of 9/11. the rioters do that i might have been screaming "hang mike pence" but it was the people of our capitol who were truly under attack. the mob wanted to throw out millions of ballots cast by black and brown americans who look very much like washington d.c.'s nearly 60% majority minority population. many of them serve on the capitol police force and were beaten with flag poles and fire extinguishers as well as maysed by the angry, trump-crazed crowd. they also worked on the maintenance crews tasked with the cleaning up the vandalism, trash, and feces left behind by right-wing hooligans. one republican lawmaker would call normal citizens. many washingtonians found it shocking but not necessarily surprising.

as you mentioned, reverend sharpton, i appreciate your focus on this issue. this focus is ultimately about this democratic republic. this is about democracy. and repeated attacks by republicans across the country to disenfranchise folks, particularly communities of color, to make it more difficult for folks to exercise their constitutional right. to me, it tells me that we have a republican party that's brummett on ideas. they know they can't win this the marketplace of ideas. so they are trying to restrict who can actually vote. and it is incredibly dangerous for the future of this country. eel continue to use every tool available. you mentioned vice president kamala harris with the investment the dnc is making. we are doing at the democratic senate campaign committee. we have launched a defend the vote project with a minimum of $10 million to be able to call out what we see. but also to advance litigation to aggressively challenge what we are seeing from the republican party in court as well as we are not going to -- we are not going to sit back and wait. w

reverend al sharpton, "politics nation" starts right now. ♪♪ >> good evening, and welcome to "politicsion." tonight's lead, race to the finish. right now the people's business is being pushed through congress with as much force as democrats can muster as their leadership, both house and senate, met yesterday with the president and vice president over the desperate need for federal voting rights protection. still under a historic assault from republican state lawmakers floating hundreds of suppression bills. and after months of lobbying, there appears to be an invigorated effort to get some of those measures through the senate. with the voter protection bill named for the late john lewis reportedly being elevated in the house, but sadly not in time to pass before next month's congressional recess. >>> meanwhile, the house select committee investigation into the insurrection has proven to be just as emotional and contentious as expected, even as new revelations about donald trump's behavior in the days leading up to the january 6 insurrection have been revealed to the public. how will la

we heard from some of them like al sharpton that liked the speech but wanted the president to go a little further but when it came to the remarks that he made directed toward his prede predecessor, this is probably the most forceful we heard him on the big lie. he talked about it in the past. it's loomed over the first several months of his presidency because he came into office and such an extraordinary manner given what he was pushing back against with his former president, former president trump but today going after him saying in the united states if you lose, you just accept it and don't dispute the facts of it and of course, i think that talking about that is certainly something we have not seen from biden in that way before. the question is what is he going to do about it? we know the former president's claims are a lot of what is driving what you're seeing happen in several state republicans trying to change their election laws even though there was no wide spread fraud in 2020 election and so that is where this powerful and definitely symbolic speech given by president biden runs
