I'm not going to pull in alex jones. I stand by everything i said. They are treasonous, they are traitors. They should get the death penalty. She is a 9/11 truther, a race baiting conspiracy theorist and the newest member of the trump brain trust. In my opinion i like that. Tonight, the republican nominee and his alarming association. Be back i have concerns about her rhetoric and her hateful tone. Then, kamala harris calls for round two. I believe we owe it to the voters to have another debate. As another endorses the democrat. I think kamala harris is the better choice. Plus the battle ground director on where this race stands 54 days out and democrats give the self proclaimed leader on fertilization a chance to prove it. They know that and everyone else knows it. I have been a leader on fertilization. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york, i am chris haynes. The country just marked the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on america that killed 3000 people. Donald trump attended a remembrance ceremony in lower manhattan and as his guest the expresident brought a conspiracy theorist who says 9/11 was an inside job. Her name is laura loomer and she joined trump and running mate j. D. Vance as they took photos with firefighters. You cannot make this up. You would not want to. It is heinous and also, sadly, unsurprising. For almost a decade now donald trump has used his political platform to channel the worst, most vile and disgusting rhetoric, ideas and people and mainstream them into american culture. From reposting trolls in his 2016 campaign to defending some of the neonazis as very fine people in charlottesville when he was president to whipping up violent gangs and militias like the proud boys and oath keepers. He has courted holocaust deniers and endorsed conspiracy theorists of all stripes. In fact just today, get this, npr reported that a nazi sympathizer who spent three years in prison for storming the capital on january 6 was an honored guest at two different events at trump's bedminster golf resort and, yes, that is the photograph of the alleged nazi sympathizer, if you want to take that in. At one of those events, a fundraiser for the january 6 criminals, trump addressed the crowd by video, saying all of the people there, including the man on your screen, all of the people there, you are amazing patriots, have a great time at bedminster. Trump has also forged a bond with far right billionaire elon musk, saying if elected he will put musk in charge of a government efficiency commission and this week when popstar taylor swift endorsed trump's opponent musk responded by posting the creepiest aunt to her on the social media platform he owns. Trump clings to the absolute worst and most dangerous people and if he becomes president again it will be even worse. Laura loomer is exhibit a. The two seem to be rather inseparable lately, spending a lot of time together. That is her coming off his private plane. In addition to being his 9/11 guest, she accompanied trump to tuesday's debate in philadelphia. She has been seen with him in his bedminster club and her name has been on trump's lips for much of this year. A friend of all of ours and this woman is amazing. Laura loomer, where is she? where is she? she is amazing. A fantastic woman. A true patriot. Laura loomer. Thank you. Thank you, laura. It is good to have you. You are very special and you are a very opinionated lady, i have to tell you that and in my opinion i like that. I appreciate all of your support and everybody appreciates it. Yes, thank you. Thank you so much for inviting me to sit with you today. My pleasure, you are the best. It is a cute video like they genuinely seem to like each other. Now many republicans are expressing concern to reporters about loomer's closeness to trump, which you can see for yourself. Everyone who works for him think she is a liability. Others told reporters that loomer contributed to some of the most outrageous conspiracy theories trump is using as campaign fodder. Even in the pantheon of trump sycophants, loomer is a chilling figure. A history of racist and islamophobia comments. She gained notoriety for chaining herself to the door of a twitter office in new york to protest the website banning her after she spread false conspiracy theories about multiple mass shootings. For that band, she also tweeted hateful tweets about immigrants including a story about thousands of migrants dying crossing the mediterranean to safety. She boasted good, clapping emoji, here is to 2000 more. After elon musk bought twitter laura loomer was, surprise surprise, reinstated on the platform. That is where she called 911 and inside job last year, arguing donald rumsfeld helped stage it to take over the national security bureaucracy. Twitter is also where loomer called kamala harris a drug using prostitute. Around that time as donald trump was praising her at rallies, what a patriot, loomer also called for the death of trump's perceived political enemies. I truly believe that the people who engaged in the coup against donald trump and have caused, you know, civil unrest and chaos in our country for the last seven years through crossfire hurricane and also through what i believe are illegal witchhunts against the president of the united states right now. Unconstitutional witchhunts against donald trump. They are treasonous, they are traitors. They should get the death penalty when they are jailed in the next administration. In advance of the debate last weekend, loomer also tweeted that if kamala harris wins, the white house will smell like curry. The kind of thing you hear from maybe a second grader on the playground. A jab at her indian heritage that is so racist that it got called out by a fellow republican who said this is appalling and racist. It does not represent who we are as republicans. This does not represent president trump. That republican was marjorie taylor greene. Yes, the jewish space lasers lady. Her rhetoric and her tone does not match the base. Does not match maga. Does not match most republicans i know and i am completely denouncing it. Here is what j. D. Vance thinks about that as well. Marjorie taylor greene denounced it. In truth, loomer is deploying the same tactics that others in the maga movement including the guy at the top of the ticket have used and use every day. It's not any different. The bigotry, the deflection, the calls to protect free speech. You heard it again this week as republicans continue to spread incredibly violent dangerous lies, falsely accusing haitian migrants in springfield, ohio, of stealing and eating house pets. All week officials said it is a lie, it did not happen. Guess what happened today? yes, the springfield city hall and other municipal facilities were shut down after receiving a bomb threat. Haitian families in that community are keeping kids home from school and staying home out of fear for racist violence. One woman who said her car had its windows broken told a reporter i have to move because this area is no longer good for me. I can't even leave my house to go to walmart, i am anxious and scared. That is the real toll from the racist lie pushed by j. D. Vance and donald trump and it is a lie trump is still repeating in the past few hours. The migrants are walking off with the town's geese. They are taking the geese. You know where the geese are? in the park and even walking off with their pets. My dog has been taken. This could only happen. These people are the worst. It can only happen in your mind, right? again, it is a disgusting lie. I think most people in the here this old man ranting about it know that it is. It is based on a false rumor from a facebook page that spread like wildfire late last month. After a speaker at the springfield city commission meeting warned that, quote, crime and savagery will only increase with every haitian that you bring in and that man, that man turned out to be the leader of a neonazi group calling itself blood pride. He was immediately kicked out of the meeting for his racist rant, but guess what? now they're talking points are the talking points of donald trump and the presidential campaign and the entire republican party. The blood pride guy ranting about the haitians at the local committee meeting is now the voice of the entire republican party. Republicans understand that the lies that are perpetuated about immigrants leads to violence against immigrants and you know how i know? because i heard it from a very close confidant to trump named laura loomer. Every day we see another story about illegal aliens going to the ritz carlton. Illegal aliens getting free flights. Getting free clothes and free cell phones and someone's going to snap. Someone's going to snap. It's going to happen and you know what? i'm not going to care what happens. You know why? because there is only so much people can take. She wants someone to hurt them. It all reminds me of what president joe biden has repeatedly said about his decision to run against trump in 2020. Biden said he wanted to run because of trump's defense of the neonazis in charlottesville. The very fine people in trump's words. Biden said correctly that he was in a battle for the soul of the nation. Biden may be out of the running, but that battle does continue. Donald trump has always been in organizing and rallying force for the absolute worst people and tendencies in the country. The people that march with torches. The people that show up at local city council meetings to spew racist bile. Folks that carry a confederate flag into the capital. People that throw away vital slanders against immigrants. This is not guilt by association. He is flying on her plane. He is using her rhetoric. He is choosing to empower people like laura loomer. Those are the sorts of people who will enjoy greater power in a second term, i promise you, and of all the reasons to prevent him from winning another term, that might be the most important. Congressman dan goldman is a democrat of new york. He served as lead counsel in donald trump's first impeachment and he joins me now. What do you think about the republican nominee bringing a 9/11 truth or again, she posted this last year. This is not, you know, 20 years ago in a dorm room. A 9/11 truth or to come to the 9/11 memorial observances in new york. It is remarkable, chris. I was there yesterday morning. A couple seats down from donald trump and j. D. Vance and it is an incredibly solemn experience, if you have not ever been there before. You had the former president, the current president, the vice president, all there, watching and memorializing the victims who died that day and they died from a terrorist attack from al qaeda at the time and laura loomer has also espoused fan groups for isis, another terrorist group. I think it goes to show you a couple things. First of all, donald trump has no respect for this country. He does not care about this country. He does not know what a patriot is and he only cares about himself. He is notorious for having talked about, as 9/11 was happening, that if the world trade center falls down one of his buildings will now be the tallest in new york city. That is how his mind has always worked. But your point, i think, about who will be near him and empowered in a second trump administration is vital and it is why so many of the former trump administration officials who have worked with him, who know him best, who know him privately, who were responsible for our military and national security and promoting global democracy around the world. They all want kamala harris to be president. They are supporting kamala harris and that should tell you everything you need to know. You represent a district that is a multicultural and multiracial district in the city of new york. I know because you are my congressman and you have a lot of immigrants that you represent. You know, immigrants that have in some communities and some parts of chinatown, who have been the subject of slander. The subject of antiimmigrant violence. Called dog eaters, honestly, through the years. Have faced this kind of libel. What do you say to them? what do you say to constituents and others when you see the most powerful and prominent republican and up and down the line repeating this kind of thing? well it is pretty simple. Vote democrat. But in addition to that, just think about how many people, how many groups of people, how many ethnicities have been disparaged by donald trump in the last eight years. He banned muslims, simply because they are muslim. He ridiculed the chinese american population when covid happened and caused a more than 300% increase in antiasian hate in my district, because of his rhetoric. Now he is attacking the haitian community, who has endured, that country has suffered from horrific, horrific incidents over the last several years and deserve none of this. It is a blatant lie, but what he does is he preys on the underserved. He preys on those who don't necessarily know our system the best. Don't speak english as well in some cases as the asian american community in my district and he will try to use them to stoke fear, division and hate among all americans. Solely so that he can win and try to stay out of jail. It is cynical politics beyond anything that we have ever seen. Let me ask you a question closer to home. A republican colleague of yours in the new york delegation. He is posting today, along these lines. You know, there it is. The picture supposedly of a haitian carrying a goose. What do you say to that? this is not just trump. You know, he is in the new york delegation. He is a colleague of yours. He is a colleague who advertises himself to be a moderate republican and what this kind of rhetoric exposes is that trump has completely taken over the republican party. We've seen it in the house this last congress. We saw it recently this week when trump said we should have a government shutdown if the democrats don't agree to a preposterous bill that the republicans want to put forward and what you are seeing are the true colors. They can pay lip service to being moderate as much as they like to, but they fall in line behind donald trump every single time and in this case they are using his lies, his slander, his bigotry, his racism, to try to win an election and josh riley, a fabulous dem
