as charlie mentioned this, the lack of shame that republicans have these days, and that is not something that we need to be allowing in our leaders. she was talking about a fellow member of congress. like you said, it looked like she was doing a stand-up comedian act. you know what s even sadder about what happened during that whole rally speech is that, she said it, and her voters laughed. they laughed, jim. so until that stops, we re going to see these kinds of things. some of these more extreme members of the caucus are rewarded for this activity. lauren boebert, she tweeted out this half-hearted apology saying, to anyone in the muslim community i offended with my comment. we re not seeing an apology to congresswoman omar, though. that s what an apology is. you apologize to the person you offended, by calling them, you
revolutionaryism. the line here is not running for office for the purpose of taking over the government through lawful mean, but rather what we saw on january 6th. it s to install what s basically a dictator ahead of it instead of a duly elected head of state. that goes to context. is it some fiery rally speech or is it a rally that turned into an insurrection? as for the widening net, i want to play some of the other perspective, the republican pushback from mark meadows who was the number one trump official, his chief of staff. he s saying the way it s going it looks more like a fishing expedition. take a listen. i read about them subpoenaing roger stone and alex jones and, you know, i can tell you that i m not aware of anybody in the white house that had conversations with either one of those individuals. but it just seems like they re
inaction. and what happened in that oval office, how many calls did he get telling him, sir, you need to stop these people. it s out of control, you can t do this? how many before january 6th when they said even your rally speech is going to be problematic? we need to know it gets to his mindset and actually gets to the possibility of criminal intent here. that s why this is so important. i am going to read from the washington post reporting about donald trump in one second but i need to i about you in, jason, on this. what the post unearthed are two draft tweets from jason miller. jason miller wanted trump to send this, quote, bad apples like antifa or other crazed leftists infiltrated today s peaceful protest over the fraudulent vote count. violence is never acceptable. maga supporters embrace our police, the rule of law and
or his entire goal is to court the attention of his fan base, which he has successfully done and he does. i mean, this is one of the big mysteries, the ongoing mysteries is how has he so consummately channeled this incredibly large group of americans. and he s done it outside of politics. the language he s speaking is not the language of politics. you write about the outdoor rally speech on january 6th. he talked about walking to the capitol with protesters. which in the book you say was something that he ad-libbed, that it wasn t a planned remark. you write he added that part, the walk, after this we re going to walk down and i ll be there with you. the walk wasn t in the text. the entourage heard little else. the hundreds and hundreds of hours of trump rallies they d all been subjected to blurred into the usual blah blah. but they heard that line, the walk. he did not mean this, of course.
