says the president should call it quits after one term. let s go outfront. good evening, i m erin burnett, outfront tonight, mentally gone, detached from reality or just a liar. put star witness of today s january 6th committee hearing was trump s attorney general, bill bar who says in no uncertain terms that he made it clear to trump that the lies about a stolen election were exactly that lies. but according to barr, and many other trump aides who testified, trump didn t care. there was never an indication of interest in what the actual facts were. there was somewhat demoralized because i thought boy, if he really believes this stuff, he has, you know, lost contact with he s become detached from reality, if he really believes this stuff. and the so-called stuff being peddled by the president and his rag-tag team of lawyers, this is how they were described by the trump aides and officials who looked into them. they were idiotic claims, b bullshit, crazy, complet
And we experienced turbulence coming in and when we landed a pretty hard landing and the selfperceived back of the plane starts fish tails and you could feel the plane do things that wasnt straight on the run way like a normal landing would go. The plane continues to proceed down the runway in that way sorry im being moved on the tarmac right now. And then we came to a very, very, sort of quick and harsh halt there on the runway. And everyone is fine on the airplane. There are no injuries. Governor pence and his staff are fine. And there are a lot of rescue crews here. Im not sure if you are seeing the poll shoot. Yes we are. Reporter there appear to be police and fire rescue here. And there is significant damage to the run way here as well. It looks like you can see divots where the wheels of the plane
dug into the runway and damaged the runway. They are going to have to do reconstruction for this part of the runway. Everyone is fine but liz, how long from the moment you touched down
republican voters are going, bill barr, people say no, the big lie is a lie and we told trump that so will it affect republican voters? russell fry believes in the big lie, tom rice you just heard, proud of his vote ask if he loses his job and career in politics so be it, this is the myrtle beach area, then move south along the coast, ch charleston, a city many americans know. a lot of resort communities here, stretches into rural areas here, katie arrington supports the big lie, you played her at the top of the program again despite the fact everyone around trump says the big lie is a lie, the big lie is the fraud and then nancy mace who you play.. she worked for trump in 2016, now critical of him, and saying i d rather talk about other things than trump, trying to find the sweet spot in the middle but as jeff noted, this is another race like in georgia, she has a lot of the republican establishment around her, believes that will help her tonight including nikki hayley,
polls closed a the the hour. counting now. trying to unseat incumbent nancy mace who was critical of trump and allies after the deadly insurrection. his entire legacy was wiped out yesterday. they should be taking 100% responsibility for this, i was shocked as anybody that the words turned to action yesterday. also hoping to hold on to a seat in south carolina is republican tom rice, now, shocked his party, he was one of those gop votes to impeach trump for the role in the january 6th riot, a vote that rice knew could cost him his seat. if you lose, is it going to be worth it? sure, it will be worth it. absolutely. your obituary, the first sentence is going to be tom rice, who was a republican member of congress and voted to impeach donald trump. that will be it. i ll wear it like a badge. so be it. jeff zelaney outfront live
