, why is marjorie taylor greene like this?d question, hopefully able to answer. they both join me now. david, let's talk with the optics here. i mean, santos is fresh, already probably one of the top frontline targets, right? if you are in the democratic party, you put him in a spreadsheet, and he is in the top three, probably. he's a very maga guy. it was a sort of stop the steal dude. to go for the new york -- we want marjorie taylor greene, steve bannon, and this congressman to go to that room. it just says that he doesn't think anyone can touch him and it doesn't matter what the media voter thinks. he's fine. >> that's right, chris. the state of new york might have a number of one-term republican members in this incoming class, for exactly the reasons you've said. those are some of the swing seats you'll see. they will be targeted by democrats two years from now. you can call it better judgment, or you can call it simply a reflection of where his politics are, or where the party is. it was a dangerous word by marjorie tayl

brandon, marjorie taylor greene and said, i was being sarcastic.hington post says that the republican party has created a safe space for musing about violent rebellion. how on the world if we get here? we >> know if you are republican right now, this works for you. we >> politicians to respond to incentives, and he for marjorie taylor, green this is the whole, again this is an entertainment support for her. all this does is get our, fame fundraising, gets her followers. -- it because you wanted to get things done. you want to power. marjorie taylor doesn't care about getting anything done, this get helps her, so she's gonna continue to do it. because again, she probably was joking. it's all a game to her, because politics have become entertainment for so many people in the republican party right now. really devoid of any larger policy goals. >> she probably was joking? simone, january 6th wasn't a joke. those insurrectionists game, they attacked capitol police officers, they were threatening members of congress. this is the party to call them thems

skate is, lauren boebert got very tired of always being tied to marjorie taylor greene. this raw hard right conservatism, and for doesn't take greens flirtations with white nationalism and antisemitism, as furthering her cause, in her district in colorado. but they both are way out there on the right side of the spectrum here. and it is that kevin mccarthy which that is not letting it glow up. but mccarthy is an establishment candidate for speaker. it is remarkable that marjorie taylor greene has decided she will sell her political currency to back him. boebert may not. gaetz and others obviously not as well. mccarthy, in the ballots, with these two very specific numbers, boebert and green. >> after what kevin mccarthy is offering marjorie taylor greene behind the scenes, to secure her, remarkable support. basil, listen to the incoming new houston classic leader, hakeem jeffries, what he said about all of this. >> look at what is happening right now. look at what's happening right now. house republicans are attacking senate republicans. senate republicans are calling hous

he'll be in debt to marjorie taylor greene and andy biggs and the rest of these guys. >> marjorie taylor greene making fun of a day, it's good that we show the testimony of officer gonell again to remember and understand what they barely survived. these people, they're not serious. they're not taking our democracy or their job seriously. and that's going to be the question for voters moving forward on every level, at every election that we face coming up. >>> and coming up on "morning joe," senate lawmakers are still working to finalize a deal to avoid a government shut down before friday's deadline. we'll get an update on the negotiations from a member of the democratic leadership in the upper chamber. senator debbie stabenow, and a look at the efforts by the administration to track u.s. weapons in ukraine, including the possibility of sending additional american troops to the region. nbc's courtney kube will join us with her new reporting. we'll be right back. orting we'll be right back. trelegy for copd. ♪ birds flyin' high, you know how i feel. ♪ ♪ breeze driftin' on... ♪ [coughing]

marjorie taylor greene is trying get him elected speaker.tial committee assignments as a result. when she says outlandish controversial things you're not going to hear much pushback. >> we would have won, it would have been armed -- is there any job in america, any power worth needing that vote? >> that's a good question for kevin mccarthy. clearly he and mitch mcconnell have said they haven't drawn any red lines really with any of these election deniers. what marjorie taylor greene is saying right there, she would have been happy to carry out a treasonist attack on the government -- treason is what she's talking about. republican leaders are going to ask about it. i'm sure manu is going to ask her about it when he goes up to the hill. >>> up next, a city councilmember fighting an activist. yes, that's a holiday party. the details, next. all across the country, people are working hard to build a better future. so we're hard at work, helping them achieve financial freedom. we're investing for our clients in the projects that power our economy

the latest piece "why is she like this". >> why is marjorie taylor greene like this, alaina? me, katy and one of the reasons i wanted to do this piece, because as much as congressman green has been written about, i feel like there hasn't been sort of a deep dive into her origin story, and what i hoped, you know, reporting and writing on a piece like this might provide is some instructive blueprint of sorts to kind of understand how her brand of politician sort of sprouted up into the trump republican party and i would say that the primary reason why she is the way she is, and why there very well are several more politicians, or would-be politicians like her in america today, is the ease with which it is to be sucked into conspiracy theories like q-anon today. marjorie taylor, for instance, marjorie taylor green, was not really i think looking to become a politician or anything like that. she was looking for an identity. and what she found was facebook, and what she found was sort of a rabbit hole of sorts that allowed her to become part of the community that seemed to have be

i think marjorie taylor greene said what she wants, subpoena power.that in an interview somewhere. so you have to imagine -- >> she wants to be on oversight, right? >> it seems like she is part of the mayorkas group. >> she wants to impeach the department of homeland security secretary. >> and so i think that there -- a lot of things have been promised on the investigative, or it seems clear if they're not being nakedly clear about it. and realm two, which is another reason for her, because it gives her more power to back mccarthy. >> you can't lose in this moment when we're talking about this massive spending bill which i as a conservative probably take issues with, but we've got to fund the government. it's actually a gift to kevin mccarthy to get this done in the next few days. >> that's right. >> if he does end up becoming speaker january 3rd, the last thing he wants is to be dealing with this in february and punting it to next year when he's got a slim majority, he's got a right flank that has no business wanting to help him. he is going to have

let's start with what you view as marjorie taylor greene's influence on kevin mccarthy, and what thatmean for the house judiciary committee, and how it conducts itself, beginning in january of next year? >> it will become the land of misfit toys, you know, a vessel state of maga nation, chris. and i just listened to your intro. just imagine you were dropped on earth from another planet, and this is the, what you are exposed to. you would say, what the hell is going on? this is a political party that, you know, is seeking to help the american people. and this is their focus. and, chris, on the son of two republicans. i married a girl from mike pence's hometown. i've been around republicans most of my life. they believe in small government, low taxes, you know, the government, get it out of your life, you know. that was that what i was raised with. and these guys were so focused on owning the lives, you know, at what cost, maybe even antisemitism. so, yes, that's what the judge jury committee will become. it will just become, you know, a place of absolute chaos. and i they won't address

marjorie taylor greene knows, as many of us have been saying inside and outside of the party.trolling force what happens in january than kevin mccarthy. she has more say in what happens after january than a speaker mccarthy. that is the reality. these comments are not surprising. the truth for the party is, this is your leadership. this is what you have decided to lie down with and to allow to control the future of the party. someone who thinks and feels, yeah, i could've done an armed insurrection much better than the actual armed interaction. heck, i would have been armed! that would've been great. so, here we are. again, one more quick point for voters, this is what you voted for in november. this is what giving the majority to a party of insurrectionists looks and sounds like. >> now they'll try to say, well i was just joking. what are you joking about? there was an insurrection. there was people there armed let me go to you, to me a on this. staying with january 6th a minute. the january six committee is said to release its long awaited final report before christmas. the

whose lone accomplishment is his last name and also marjorie taylor greene. her speech was the crown's night jewel. she denied she or steve bannon helped organize the january 6th insurrection because if they had, she said, the insurrectionists would have won. >> then january 6th happens and next thing you know i organized 9 whole thing along with steve bannon here and i got to tell you something, if steve bannon and i would have organized that, we would have won. not to mention we would have been armed. >> ha, ha, ha. somehow marge forgot to tell her crowd of travelers that she did attend a white house orchestrated event to help map out a plan for maga house members to object to biden's rightful election which just so happened to be a key component of bannon's much touted green bay sweep with the goal of overturning the 2020 election results. oh, and by the way there were guns at the capitol. court records, trial testimony and accounts from police officers and rioters produced evidence that multiple people brought firearms to washington for january 6th includ

you had a republican event in new york this week, there were new york post reports that marjorie taylor greene joked about january 6th saying quote, if steve bannon and i had organized that, we would've won. not to mention, we would have been armed. you will forgive me if i don't find that funny, if that is not sense of humor. i wonder instead than, what it tells you about what we expect from house republicans when it comes to their view of january 6th, to their view on accountability. >> january 6th to them has faded into the past if not become a punchline in the way that congresswoman taylor greene used it in that story you just cited. it will, in the hands of the upcoming house republican majority, also become a sort of political weapon. i would not be surprised to see attempts at retribution or punishment or efforts to discredit the work of the january 6th committee once republicans won the house as opposed to the democrats who are on their way out right now. and that is why the release of this report, the clarity of the report, the strength of the findings, the language, the referrals of

the media needs to cover elections when one party i campaigning against democrac how marjorie taylor greene has gone from the fringe to th center of the republican party and how outgoing speaker nancy pelosi consequentially one o the most consequential speaker of our lifetimes may have bought the opportunit to convict president donal trump. we start the day about books particularly the endless strea of tell-all books about donald trump. what was to all of them was no the what or the when if that i with so many crucial whereas relations wait for a boo publishing date? i want to show you an old news we cover from almost 40 year ago. exclusive, the untold story of campaign 1984. in there you can read th magazine fly on the wall reporting from the reaga versus mondale presidentia race including the scope that president reagan's adviser were reporting attacks lik after the election that they hadn't told reagan about. alluding tax heights does seem like something voters should know about that. so definitely the $2.50 cent news price for the magazine. but that newsweek did not come out until after

i wanted marjorie taylor greene's district. that was not his problem.die said it's a diverse and different state but his problem was not in her district. >> brian kemp won by nearly 300,000 votes. there were plenty of votes available for republican candidates that did not vote for herschel walker. when we come back, brittney griner on her way back to the united states. the white house about to hole its briefing. we'll be right back. de its briefing. we'll be right back. its briefing. we'll be right back. >>> take you straight to the white house and karine jean-pierre with the briefing. >> it's a product of months and months of painstaking negotiations that were the culmination of extraordinary efforts across the u.s. government. officials from the white house, the state department and across the administration worked trierlessly and relentlessly to see this moment through. as the secretary of state said publicly in july, we have been engaging in intense negotiations with russia pursuing many different avenues over the course of last six months to secure

also, marjorie taylor greene. caught on tape saying that if she had planned january six that she would've been successful and her people would have been armed. i am just. you've written about mccarthy. what has happened. with his quest for the speakership. put all of this into the historical context, how far has the republican party slid from the destruction nests of newt gingrich to these jokers. >> right, it is been iteration after iteration. 1994, trump would've been so warm. i don't get to say this, but let me say i agree with matt gates. he called kevin mccarthy caden kathy. has no ideology. that is of course the issue. stands for nothing but ambition. so this is old-fashioned coalition politics. it used to be that you get some southerners mixed with some midwesterners. put things together. and you've got the insurrectionists. you've got the white nationalists, the qanon folks and the antisemites. in whatever fabulous george santos. that is your coalition. you have to keep that together. it's showing itself b

the same marjorie taylor greene who was kicked off committees for promoting conspiracy theories and according to january 6th transcripts released tuesday former white house aide cassidy hutchinson recalled greene bragging to her and mark meadows chief of staffers -- hutchinson said greene gave donald trump a similar spiel showing a constituent wearing a "q" shirt and telling the former president those are all my people. but with republicans fighting among themselves at every turn kevin mccarthy's quest for power has opened a rift even among the extremists. matt gates one of five house republicans who have vowed to vaet against mccarthy told the daily caller why. >> i'm not voting for kevin mccarthy for speaker because i think he's just a show of the establishment. and the reason most of my republican colleagues are supporting him is because they benefit from the redistribution of lobbyists and special interest money through mccarthy to their campaign accounts. >> joining me now matthew dowd, founder of country over party and chief strategist with the bush cheney campaign. eugene scott, nation

no, it's not theos who is the trumpist truth-teller marjolet, taylor green who now criticizes us militaryine by calling it the 51st state. she is nothing personal. just business, investment war - this is a good business for some sectors of the economy. this does not mean that the defensive enterprise cynically yearn for war. i know a lot of their employees and they're heartbroken over what's going on in the ukraine well yes war is a good business much deeper taylor greene is involved in this business so the institute for the study of war you've heard this is the name of every iron, open them site in the list of sponsors of general dynamics. and recently there was also racing, this institute is engaged in the fact that, under the guise of an objective analysis, a completely biased picture is presented and such information is used by the most respected buildings. it worries me more all the neoconservative theses get into the press, which justify and provoke a militaristic foreign policy, but advertising is the engine of trade. including the stock market today is a great time to buy shares o

i was out late last night, cnn heroes. >>> let's talk about marjorie taylor greene, sometimes it's agive oxygen to and what to ignore. but this morning a sitting congresswoman said if she had been in charge of the january 6th attack on the capitol, the crowds would have been armed and they would have won the insurrection. speaking at an event marjorie taylor greene said this, watch. >> i come to washington, i swear it's january 3rd, i get accused of giving insurrection tours which i thought was hilarious i couldn't even find the bathroom in the capitol. hilarious. and then january 6th comes along and i organized the whole thing with steve bannon here. i want to tell you something if steve bannon and i had organized it, we would have won. not to mention, it would have been armed. see that's the whole joke, isn't it? they say that whole thing was planned. are you kidding me a bunch of conservative second amendment supporters went in the capitol without guns and they think we organized that, i don't think so. >> that's interesting. during the attack she messaged mark meadows i quote her

marjorie taylor greene is going to get his committees back.they want. they're going to make a bunch of demands, his argument is i have given you everything. there's nothing else you can ask for me, and hope the rest of the conference loses patience with them. >> mike barnicle, it wasn't so long ago that steve king had his committee assignments taken away from him by republican for saying things that look very mild compared to what marjorie taylor greene said this weekend. and again, you're something talking about an insurrection, talking about how it should have been armed. >> you know, joe, there seems to be a consensus that kevin mccarthy is of limited ability, and he has made so many deals thus far, just listening to brendan reminded me of this, he has made so many deals in the past three or four years in his pursuit of becoming speaker, he can no longer remember what deals he made. if you want to know the future of the republican party as you were discussing articulately last hour, take a look at the cover of the "new york post," "eyes on

only marjorie taylor greene in an effort to disavow something could make it worse.is is a terrible joke. we would have won what? what would you have won on that particular day? i mean, none of this makes any sense. it was, at best, tasteless, and at worst, sort of a further threat, you know, like, hey. this could have been justified. i find this whole episode to be incredibly problematic. frankly it's -- and it's problematic for republicans who i'm sure are being asked about it everywhere they go today. this is not the kind of distraction, of course, that kevin mccarthy needs as he tries to lock down the votes to become the next speaker, and so, you know, here we go again with one of these people i'm sure will be a thorn in mccarthy's side for the next two years. >> on that point, is this indicative of what the new year will look like with republicans in control of congress? because once upon a time, we were told that people like marjorie taylor greene were just fringe elements of this party. now she is closely aligned with kevin mccarthy. he needs her aprnparently

context, wha about moving on to what is happening right now with congress from lower boebert, mature taylor greeneaking swipes at each othe over kevin card these bid fo house speaker. so it started with boebert distancing herself from greene saying she does not believe in a number of conspiracy theorie posted online in 2018. then green responding accusing boebert of throwing her unde the bus for a cheap soundbit and for engaging a quote hig school trauma. susan, are you surprised tha these two are at odds? does this infighting rather, does it reflect the party' broader issues right now >> yeah, i'm not surprised a all, it reflects the immaturit of the people who are involved in the party and our elected officials on the republica side it is also a nightmare, and huge headache for kevi mccarthy to have these kinds o arguments and this kind of attention as to who is going t sway support for his speakership. it is -- it is the last thing he needs, and as far as these two wome going after one another, surel they both have better things t do with their time then do this i mean, it just, it is jus point

we're also looking at the administration pushing back on congresswoman marjorie taylor greene who isiming she would have won the capitol riot if she planned it. what her office is now trying to clarify on that front. >>> plus an nbc news exclusive. why defense officials are considering sending more u.s. troops to ukraine and live to the pentagon in just a bit. >>> and with the january 6th committee final report, what it could look like and we will talk about what we expect and how soon we could see it. in just 60 seconds. soon we could see it in just 60 seconds with prevnar 20®. a pfizer vaccine! so am i. because i'm at risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. i'm asking about prevnar 20® because there's a chance pneumococcal pneumonia could put me in the hospital. if you're 19 or older, with certain chronic conditions like copd, asthma, diabetes, or heart disease or are 65 or older, you may be at increased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. prevnar 20® is approved in adults to help prevent infections from 20 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. in just one dose. don't ge

listen, there is no question that ron desantis, marjorie taylor greene, donald trump, are all -- localag queens in this community. it is completely ridiculous that the bullying and the attacks that are happening on the dry community, on the trans community, on those that are marginalized. and it is just straight out bullying. and they are trying to attack people that are vulnerable in our community, that we have supported in our community. and this is becoming more and more common in the republican party, from congress, the folks like ron desantis out in florida. and so as gay people, as part of the community, we also have to be vocal, we have to stand, up we have to push back, and really call them out for all of the lies that they are telling, and for quite frankly trying to scare the community into moving us backwards. it is not acceptable. >> when you get to washington x week he will be a full fledged member of congress. what do you want to do when you become a member of congress? o >> first time going to work every single day to make sure that our community is not attacked. this at

the other thing about that is so striking, with marjorie taylor greene. bannon is in the room is?ct. >> you've got the first couple of immigration restriction-ism, peter brimelow, olivia brimelow, where there. but then you've also got three congressman elect their. >> yes absolutely. including george santos who is from new york in a district that i would describe, i grew up in that district, so i know a little bit about it. it's a hillary clinton type district in general that happened to swing very lightly to read this time. and for him to go into this event. it's not just the american extremists, there's the ftc party from germany, there's >> extreme right wing party. >> there's the austrian freedom party. >> the extreme right wing party in austria? >> which was founded by nazi ss officers. so for him to do this before taking office is a pretty ominous sign for the republicans of of what they have in mind going forward. you think it would be a shift after the midterms, it's looking to me after that experience like something else. >> what do you make of the room? what was it like?

marjorie taylor greene's like perfect example. what does that look like with -- okay, the staffer who i'm sure is 26-year-old red pill -- person. who works the house, she just tweeted that. they're gonna have subpoena power now. it's like what does the trolling red pill, marjorie taylor greene, house republican caucus do with actual state power. >> you don't want to overinflate a few bright crumbs here in there. look, negative partisanship has always existed. i wish it didn't, it's a real thing. but when you don't have anything pushing against that, when your pushing on an open door. and that's the reigning ideology. it is not really clear what else you get from. that look, the people who are asking questions. that instinct is a good instinct. just all things equal. >> like the actual -- >> you should ask questions. be skeptical. you should try and see reality and take the red pill and theory. but the marketplace of ideas that flaunted theoretical things in practice really broke a. >> the key thing in, the business here as they se

you see any less or more truthful than marjorie taylor greene? frankly they are both fabulous.y are both in the same boat. he has lied more about himself. she lies about everything else. so i think that we've gotten to the point in the republican party where really anything goes. and i'd agree with former congressman that there is blame to go around. there is playing from the media, there is blame from the democrats. but ultimately this is a con man. and i think we have to put the blame where it belongs. which is on him. there is a famous case involving a new york congresswoman that basically says that unless the fraud goes to some qualification, you're not, the words he said that he was 25 and he's only 23, the final qualifying, he's going to get seated. there is not a legal mechanism for getting him to give up his seat. they can put pressure on him, they could then vote to expel him, which a normal party would do. which an honest party would do. but this republican party won't do it. he's probably one of the votes that kevin mccarthy is counting on to make him speaker. so i t

you have marjorie taylor greene and on his behalf, fighting with lauren boebert. of crazy. the dems have morphed into republicans in disarray. >> we are witnessing the end result of what happens when you nurture a radicalize movement and you think you can control it. the analogy have given us at the monster has escaped and turned on the masters, right? donald trump and -- even marjorie taylor greene, who i refer to us kevin mccarthy's boss, her support for kevin mccarthy might not be enough to give him what he has shamelessly done the -- heated of austrian bargain. he did all of this to get house leadership. it might be steve scalise. you're dealing with extremists fighting with extremists to be more extremist accordions remissed base. i say this without any hyperbole. you're dealing with folks who are in the republican party. how does a democracy sustain itself in one of the two political parties is committed to radicalization, extremism, conspiracy theories, white supremacy, political violence, and allows people like viktor orban of hungry, who see him and his b

she said not only did mark meadows bring it up but also congresswoman marjorie taylor greene. she did mention, what is this far right wing political movement that spreads these atlantis -- she said that she had this exchange with white house trade advisor, peter navarro. cassidy hudson is saying at one point, i had sarcastically said, oh, is this from your qanon friends, peter? because peter would talk to me frequently about his qanon friends. and he said, how do you looked into it yet, cass? i think that they point out a lot of good ideas, you really need to read this, make sure the chief sees it. and cassidy hutchison said i did not take this as sarcasm. pamela, of course peter navarro has been indicted for not complying with the committee's subpoenas. but as these transcripts trickle out here as we are expected throughout the week, there are a lot of crucial new details in here that we might not have seen before. >> yeah. it is just remarkable that a top administration official like peter navarro will be giving credence to qanon, and these ridiculous conspiracy theories. we

she said not only did mark meadows bring it up, but congresswoman marjorie taylor greene. she made mention of what is this far right wing political movement that spreads these outlandish conspiracy theories. and then cassidy hutchinson said she had this exchange with white house trade adviser peter nav navarro. cassidy hutchinson saying "at one point i had sarcastically said oh, is this from your qanon friends, peter? because he would talk to me frequently about his qanon friends. he said have you looked into it cass? they point out a lot of good ideas. you really need to read. this make sure the chief sees this. cassidy hutchinson said i did note take this as sarcasm. peter navarro has been indicted for not complying with the city's subpoenas. but as these transcripts trickle out here, as we're expecting throughout the week, there are a lot of crucial new details in here that we might not have seen before. >> yeah. and it's just remarkable that a top administration official like peter navarro would be giving credence to qanon and these ridiculous conspiracy theories. we'r

he had isolated marjorie taylor greene, now he's elevating her.e said the dhs secretary should not be impeached. now he says the secretary should be impeached. now things are going backwards with lauren boebert saying, well, i might have some questions. and with santos now, his entire integrity on the line and his credibility. the window wickly closing on george santos to be defined as anything but a fraud in the u.s. congress, but kevin mccarthy needs him. expect them to circle the wagons around santos at least through january 3rd or the following days to secure the speakership. >> you know what's kind of fascinating when you look at it, dana, the only reason democrats didn't hold the house outright, okay, because this -- because of the end of roe v. wade and candidate quality issues and trump, democrats are actually in a really good position this year, but those illegally gerrymandered seats in florida, and the stupidly gerrymandered seats that pit democrat incumbents against each other in new york, that is why kevin mccarthy has a majority at a

the republican party is fully radicalized the base of the party is laure goldberg and marjorie taylor greened with kevin mccarthy he is not an idealogue he doesn't believe in what the base believes in he doesn't believe in anything he's a political operator. that is why he's so tortured right now, because he's trying to sound like marjorie taylo greene to appease marjorie taylor greene to become speaker, but that is not who he is at all. i think he'll eventually get it, ali, what he is sold every inc of his body to get it. >> this is not ideal, becaus kevin mccarthy can't, probably make himself speaker he can probably get that role. now he's got this problem, because what joe just said he's got a top like marjorie taylor, granaries got appeal t that part of the republica party. the whole exercise of thes midterm elections ha demonstrated to most republicans, including mitch mcconnell, that it doesn't work it's not a winning strategy. >> that's right. what he's going to do is for the next few years, cater to the very people who ar unpopular. he's going to put them in prim house seats for -- t

the freedom caucus aged shamefully, you have people like marjorie taylor greene talking about people reminded the people's leadership in the bottom of a slave ship when talking about electric planes that are being commissioned in canada. it is the absurdity of we ship a party wants to somehow -- which the republican party must've pushed the country forward, but it is so dangerous. you do not seem to understand, we have to move beyond all this toxic rhetoric and you cannot normalize the behavior of people like marjorie taylor greene or your former president. you're going to continue to lose and i guarantee you're going to continue to lose if you somehow think this is ok with other half of the country. guest: i appreciate you calling in. it has always been my emphasis to focus on policy and not on personality. if you can do that, if you can have an honest debate about the differences in policy, you can have strong, rigorous debate, but you should be able to come out of their room still having a relationship with those individuals. when i refer back to the state legislator in my time i

they are empowering marjorie taylor greene. marjorie taylor greene is about to have power again when this next congress takes over. this is someone who called joe biden hitler on twitter. that was just a couple months ago. this is who they are. it is incredibly frustrating for people who like me who are national security people who want to actually see them be the party of national security, who want to see them be the party of law and order that these overclaim. but instead there anything about that right now. and i don't see that changing anytime soon. because they've decided that this place to their base of this place to their donors, which i actually am incredibly confused and disappointed by because how can you be funding this type of thing when it is destroying our country? it is allowing for adversaries to come in and stir the pot with them. they are watching this, and they are enjoying this because they're like let the american, let the americans destroy themselves. we will help them by messing with their social media.
