Some shocking comments. earlier this week republican marjorie taylor greene compared mask mandates in the u.s. house to the holocaust. yeah, you heard that right. needless to say that sparked outrage, of course. the american jewish congress demanding she immediately retract and apologize. well, you can probably guess what happened. instead when asked about it during a weekend visit to arizona she said this. >> we shouldnt be having this kind of treatment. no one should be treated like a second-c...

Those were simpler times, ben. good to see you, my friend. >> not only did they try to make president obama out to be someone who was an out of control executive when he absolutely wasnt, but importantly, they were huge supporters of ukraine. we were constantly attacked by republicans for not providing more aid to ukraine. whats been really sad to watch is to see them flip suddenly, to have no problem with treating this ally like a second-class citizen, a country that is only a form for their ow...

Hurts when somebody does that. the president and republicans have grossly underestimated how many people have experience at racist insult. were all going to vote. i predict a dem wave like we had in 2018 in 2020. >> can you expand about when you hear that language coming from anyone, let alone our president. >> absolutely, makes me feel like i dont belong in this country. makes me feel like im part of a group of people that arent the same as u.s. citizens, that somehow im a second class citizen....
