Page 6 - Republicans Cannot News Today

Future. take a listen to congresswoman stephanie murphy of florida on what was at stake today and how whether theres a "d" or an "r" next to your name should not matter. >> our committee seeks only the truth. that is our legal charge and our moral obligation. we cannot let any individual impede our inquiry, and we will not tolerate mr. bannons evasion. this was no peaceful protest in a proud american tradition. it was violent and vicious. members of the mob wielded weapons. they called for the d...

Use the justice department in ways that bill barr did to go after the presidents enemies. you can ignore the prohibition on using the white house grounds for political conventions. you can enrich yourself as president. the list goes on and on. at some point you have to say enough, we have to put back the guardrails of our democracy in he is making an argument that i feel like we have discussed. the stakes for the department of justice in doing what bill barr would do seem catastrophe cattic, not...

Is part of the sanctity of our democracy. they are saying we are so in league with donald trump that we will throw ourselves in front of steve bannon, to protect this guy, who wasnt even a white house official, at the same time when we have a situation where january 6th is not over. there are on going efforts to perpetuate the big lie, to pass laws at the state level that will make the next january 6th successful. what you are seeing here is republicans once again saying that their own role, the...

Slavish loyalty to donald trump will even allow me to damage this institution in which i serve. thats mind boggling. >> not even donald trump. as robert costa reminds us this was about steve bannon at least today. kinzinger hasnt ruled out a subpoena for donald trump but this is an accused fln felon who was pardoned by donald trump in the final days who hosts a podcast, who has no claim to executive privilege? >> i will respectfully degree. this isnt actually about steve bannon. i dont know that...

Caucus, todays vote forces them to get on the record as choosing the side of the disgraced expresident and his disinformation fueled push to whitewash the insurrection overupholding the powers of the legislative body on which they sever and even democracy itself. for the third time this week liz cheney is calling out her fellow republicans for lashing out what happened on january 6th at first. and then trying to appease the former president. watch. >> there are people in this chamber right now w...

People. again, we thought that the ceiling was the ten people who voted to impeach. clearly, thats not exactly true. you but look at the list here of the eight people, they are mostly those folks who voted to impeach the former president. but that one really did catch my attention. >> ally vitale, thank you. with 70 votes to go we are out of time. thank you for watching this hour of hallee jackson reports. im garrett haake. "deadline: white house" starts right now. hi, everyone, its 4:00 in ne...

Or is it mitch mcconnell and kevin mccarthy. mccarthy is more in step with trump than mcconnell. but these are decisions people are making not just about trump and bannon, but about their own pril futures, where do they want to go. >> there is depressingly few people to talk about this that category. nine republicans according to the tally we know of so far have voted with all the democrats to hold steve bannon in contempt of congress, to uphold the prerogatives of congress to investigate a dead...

What do you make of the significance, not in political terms, but historic terms, of this vote under way right now to hold steve bannon in contempt of congress? >> well, i think, first of all, the only difference i would have with the liz cheney clip you played is not that the republicans who are voting against this have forgotten. its that they dont care. thats much more disturbing. they dont care that there was an insurrection against our democracy. they dont care to learn the facts, and nicol...

Butler. your thoughts about the vote today to hold steve bannon -- >> nine is actually better than we usually do when the question is about, you know, the future of our constitutional republic. or what todays vote was really about -- look, you and i both know that issues of executive privilege dont apply today. that steve bannon was long gone from the white house when he had the conversations that allowed him to predict the events of january 6th. what was really on the table today was the instit...

Whom are suffering the attacks of donald trump because of that, stands up and do the right thing. but, no, it is not at all clear that one party, abiding by the norms and the rules -- i have got to tell you, this is really hard for me to say. because i am kind of a norms and rules guy. i am sort of a traditions guy. but when you have a president who is willing the violate every norm and every tradition and to continue to do so after the -- after his presidency is over, you really have to scratch...
