thank you for having me. >> how did this fight with marjorie taylor greene start, exactly?ment i felt very necessary. this woman has supported insurrection, she voted against the election, she believes in a wide variety of conspiracy theories, called out any number of times but on this issue yesterday she tried to block the equality act and i felt as though she needed to hear from us, and whey mean by that is that i just wanted to make a statement so that she sees lgbtq plus people and so the symbolism was simply to put the flag out there so she has to see our community every day. i'm immensely proud of my daughter and that's all anyone is asking for is to be treated as anyone else and that's what i want representative greene to see. >> so when you walked outside of your office and you saw that sign, that she put up that said there are two genders, male and female, trust the science, what were your thoughts? >> well, two things. i thought, wow, she's got a lot of time on her hands because she would have to go get that printed, and decide that this is the right thing to do.

it's not just marjorie taylor greene. let's think back to last month when over 66% of the house republican caucus voted to overturn the results of a democratic election, because they decided to side with then president trump over the american people, and they did that after the insurrection of the u.s. capitol. we see folks down ballot, like sean parnell, a candidate in pennsylvania, who has refused to concede the election he lost, because he's still peddling unsubstantiated claims of widespread voters fraud. this was happening in state legislatures, in gubernatorial republicans in washington state. it's happening across the country. i was just texing with a republican strategist and operative who works on congressional races around the country, and he said the people don't understand the more attention greene gets, the stronger she'll be with the peers and the base who want to see this type of politics and rhetoric continue within the party. democrats, as we have seen today, are probably forcing reps to go on the record

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