Alone and leaving republicans behind . Lets go out front. Good evening, im erin burnett. Out front tonight the breaking news. Kevin mccarthy with qanon supporter Marjorie Taylorgreene and could determine the future of the Republican Party in the United States. Because tonight the Republican Party is totally at odds over whether it will embrace qanon Conspiracy Theories as the core of the party and rhetoric like this from Marjorie Taylorgreene from 2019 thats just coming to light, will they embrace whats seen in this video uncovered by twitter user zedster . If we have a sea of people, if we shut down the streets, if we shut down everything, if we flood the capitol building, flood all of the government buildings, go inside. These are public buildings. We own them. We own these buildings. Do you understand that . We own the buildings and we pay the people who work in the buildings. Flood the capitol, flood the government buildings, we own the buildings. Sounds now so sinister, right . Now here we are, and we see what that can bring. Tonights meeting should be a nobrainer for mccarthy and greene has advocated violence against politicians and claim School Shootings were planned to Hurt Gun Rights and thats not all the socalled plane that crashed into the pentagon. Its odd theres never any evidence shown for a plane in the pentagon. There is anise lambic invasion into our Government Offices right now. Kennedy getting killed in the plane crash. Thats another one of those clinton murders, right . It should be pretty easy for mccarthy to say this stuff does not belong anywhere. Never mind in the Republican Party. It certainly does not deserve a Plum Assignment on the Education Committee which was just given congresswoman taylorgreene, but for every republican in the house their reaction has been muted or flatout nonexistent. Democrats have been much more vocal. Our big tent is not large enough to accommodate conservatives and kooks. Looney lies are not a part of the country. Senator ernst said i dont want her as the face of our party. Greene came out and responded to mcconnell today, statement saying, quote, the real cancer for the Republican Party is weak republicans who only know how to lose gracefully. This is why we are losing our country. That was her tweet. Now trumps refusal to lose gracefully is what ended with the insurrection that ended with five people dead including a Capitol Police officer who tonight will lie in honor in the very building he died protecting. Greenes conceding as a cancer shook me. This is what we teach our children, give it your best and leave it all on the table and leave it on the table and stand up and try again. It is actually what makes american politics so great and it is why we have strong institutions and why our Power Transitions are peaceful. In fact, no president ial candidate in modern u. S. History has refused to concede except donald trump. Its Donald Trumps support for greene that is behind so many republicans silenced tonight. Marjorie taylorgreene, right here from northwest georgia. Oh, boy. I dont want to mess with her. No, shes great. This one, i never, ever want to have her as a enemy. Marjorie taylorgreene. Where is she . She is so unbelievable. Also joining us tonight are georgia representatives Marjorie Taylorgreene, i love her. So we know why the house gop sits silent on greene. It isnt just because she is a republican, it is because she is a trump republican. The house gop at this hour has absolutely no trial calling out one of its own. Theyre meeting tomorrow to discuss liz cheneys future. Cheney. They have no problem slamming her all of the time because she stood up to trumps big lie about Election Fraud and voted to hold him accountable for the capitol riot and so this is how her fellow republicans have absolutely no problem publicly talking about her. How can you even call yourself a representative when you dont represent the will of the people . I dont think she should be the chair of the republican conference anymore. The reality is shes not representing the conference. Shes not representing the republican ideals. Shes not representing the trump republican ideals. Not a whole lot of outrage over Marjorie Taylorgreene in the house. Plenty over liz cheney and it should come as no surprise because the apples on this do not fall far from the trump tree. Weve got to get rid of the Weak Congress people, the ones that arent any good. The liz cheneys of the world. Manu raju is out front live on capitol hill and what are you learning about this meeting that we understand is imminent between mccarthy and green tonight. I was standing outside kevin mckarthsys office and they closed the door and the hallway and that door is typically open and this meeting could be happening right now as the house is voting. I have talked to a number of other House Republicans including the number two republican, Steve Scalise and asked him whether or not he believes that she should be stripped of her assignments. I said do you support getting rid of those committee assignments. He would not say. He says this is a discussion the republican has to have tomorrow and he has to discuss with Kevin Mccarthy. Do you have concerns about Marjorie Taylorgreenes views and ive been, quote, very, very vocal about it. I do. That is in reference to what he said last Summer Raising concerns when it first came to light about her controversial posts on social media, her videos and things and her conspiratorial views shes had with her alliance with qanon at that time. Since then scalise set aside those concerns and he got behind her like House Republicans did after she won her runoff race. Other republicans are clearly aligning themselves with her at the moment. Jim jordan who was a republican of the house member and a close trump ally just told me moments ago he does not support kicking her off of those two committees. She should stay on those committees and jordan himself is waging a battle trying to get liz cheney out of her leadership spot. Now the republicans dont move themselves, erin. Kevin mccarthy does not move then House Democrats plan to do so themselves. They plan to move a resolution to the house floor to kick her off those commites and steny hoyer told me he has concerns about the precedent that would set if House Republicans in the majority go after one of their members. It certainly does. Thats not the way you want to do it and it feeds into the same feeling of partisanship which this shouldnt be about as you hear mcconnell and romney and ernst and cassidy. This one is not partisan. Thank you very much, manu and manus going to come back up as we find out about this meeting. As he said it might be happening right now. I want to go to former republican Congresswoman Comstock. Let me ask you. You go through this and you see a house gop largely silent, not uniformly, there are the kensingguards of the world and largely silent on Marjorie Taylorgreene and call out liz cheney constantly. What does this tell you . Well, i dont think its going to be a tough vote tomorrow. I think marjorie green will be gone and kicked off her committees whether its done by republicans or democrats and im confident that liz cheney will retain her leadership position. So i wouldnt, the loud mouths that are out there all of the time attacking liz or attacking others, they dont represent the entire conference, and i think a lot of the conference is sick of these loud mouths intimidating them into this deadend policy of supporting people like marjorie green. Lets make sure people understand, it was jim jordan and mark meadows along with help from matt gates who gave us marjorie green. Steve scalise did have her in the primary. Im on a republican womans pac. We supported her male opponent, a Brain Surgeon. We could have had a Brain Surgeon in this position instead of her. I think her views are unacceptable. Id vote to kick her out of the conference. No one wants to be represented by her. You dont want members who want to have her face in their ads two years from now saying that they stood by her. So i think these loud mouths who are defending her are going to be a smaller number of people than you think. Do you agree with that, michael . Why hasnt been so hard for mccarthy to just stand up and say and do the right thing . I mean, he has tried to avoid touching this thing with a 100foot pole over the last week. I think that greene is far more emblematic and mirrors the vocal base of the gop than does cheney. Thats the reality, and Congresswoman Comstock mentions that runoff election. Its very instruct testify take a look at what happened. Dr. John cowan checked all of the conservative boxes. Yes, a neurosurgeon. By the way, married to an anesthesiologist, Second Amendment guy, proboard, protrump and all of the conservative Critical Issues he was there, but as he explained to me the reason that he thinks he lost 5742 is that the voters, the 14th Congressional District in georgia, they wanted someone figuratively to bring a grenade to washington, and he wasnt going to give them that. So what im suggesting is we need to take a look at what is it that drives people to vote for someone like her because she was this way during the campaign. Theres no surprise as to how she comforts herself now. Its true. More and more of these videos are coming out and none of them as you point are consistent with what was known at that time. They are all on the same plane of complete insanity and in others just dangerous Conspiracy Theories. It is different in the senate. You have heard joni ernst. Sen thor senator thune spoke out and said it is a distraction and marco rubio spoke out and said she is not good for the party and anyone that flies the flag is deranged. Why is this so much harder for House Republicanes . It seems that they go back to the base. It seems that their voters, that base may want that. Marjorie is from a very red district and to get to a majority, republicans need to have a much broader cross section. You have to remember that donald trump is the only president who lost two popular votes. He only got 46 . These people who are his fulltime defenders like Marjorie Greene and jim jordan, theyre such lousy defenders that he was impeached twice also. So this is not a path to a majority to have more matt gates Marjorie Greenes. We understand that we have to have a big tent party, but this isnt conservative this is conservative versus crazy, versus kooks and we need to stand up, republicans, and i think they will and reclaim their party as a big tent party, but not big enough for dangerous people like Marjorie Greene who is still making threats and i understand why both democrats and republicans alike feel shes a danger to the institution when you see the kind of remarks shes made. I personally was very upset when i heard the kind of remarks she made about 9 11 given id lost a best friend there. So theres just no place for someone like this and the body politics. Shes partisan and shes ill placed there and her constituents will soon find out she wont be passing bills and when shes not on committee she wont get anything done and i think she will be sent home pretty soon. I understand what youre saying and maybe this is reality and maybe some of it is Wishful Thinking and im not sure. Michael, let me ask you, to that point they said about Wishful Thinking, this is a battle for the soul of the Republican Party thats going on right now, right . Thats what wereness withing. When you see the disagreement between greene and cheney among the vocal it appears that we truly are at a fork in the road. 147 members of the house, the Republican Caucus supported President Trump on january 6th relative to the electoral college. Only five senators in that rand paul vote did likewise. Bottom line, i think the house is far more subjected to populism than is the Senate Perhaps because of the sixyear term. Thats why the difference. All right. Thank you both so very much, i appreciate it. Next, we have new details this hour coming out about trumps purchimpeachment defens. Is he still pushing his attorneys to say the election was stolen. Why is Lindsay Graham still the chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee. Alexandra ocasiocortes doubling down on ted cruz fueled the riots saying he must resign as shes making stunning allegations about the Capitol Police that day.

Breaking news. Trumps new Impeachment Lawyers speaking out in an interview with the New York Times. David schoen saying he said, because its free speech. Schoen trying to make his case even as they remain in disarray and they misspelled the United States in the article of impeachment. What else do we expect to see as team trump as part of his defense now that theyre making it clear, First Amendment will be a big part of it. As were poring through these filings that were filed today with the senate. Its clear that the constitutionality can you convict a former president is going to be front and center . The trumps lawyers will argue that its simply not constitutional to convict a former president , someone who is no longer in office. The House Managers argued and detailed 80 pages worth of legal briefs saying theres no january exception. You cant simply have an exception at the end of the president s term and the new Free Speech Argument is interesting because the president s own words would be front and center in all of this and we all remember seeing him standing near the white
