had come true. let s go out front. good evening, i am erin burnett. out front tonight a new lie. it is a lie being pushed on republicans by republicans that jeopardizing the whole nation. the lie is that the vaccine is not working. the lie is working right now. according to a new poll, 49% of republican men say they won t get the vaccines. the number of trump supporters overall who say the same, 47%. who can turn this around? the people who are committed to president trump and his leadership still matters a great deal. it is important for former president trump and as well as the vice president to encourage all followers to get the vaccine. trump is not doing this and not doing this any way shape or form despite the fact he went and get vaccinated himself in secret. he s happy to have the protection for himself but he s not carrying enough about his supporters or the american population at large to tell others to follow suit. his supporters are following what he says
urging americans not to let their guard down. also the justice department here in washington announcing today that two men have now been arrested and charged with assaulting officer brian sicknick with a toxic chemical spray. let s begin our coverage with our chief white house correspondent kaitlan collins. the president is taking his covid relief package straight to the american public. give us the latest. reporter: yes, wolf. he s basically mentioning it every time he gets near a microphone. tomorrow he ll be going to pennsylvania. i ll be traveling with him. that s going to continue with several more stops this week not just for president biden, but for his top aides. he want to pitch this plan to the american people, make sure they know it s not just stimulus checks. all this means the bigger plan you have to have to implement that bill. that s the challenge facing the biden administration right now. today it is going to be complicated, but he says he wants to make sure
out. won t trump supporters be dubious about anything the crimes that he committed in plain view obstructing the official proceeding is illegal. is the mindset really you think going to be to more aggressive on what is viewed by trump voters as also a crime is that what you re saying i don t think it is so much the voters the i think that, you re right, those who are most in the trump camp, this is a witchunt that there was election fraud will, you know, cry foul no matter what charges are brought if there are charges brought. i think there are some probably, you know, on capitol hill that also do that there are others that may be a little more moderate and feel like this charge is more incendiary but even if i utter the words, it sounds silly. it was incendiary that day
