0 american, that's not how we should be acting when we have disagreements about policy in this country, we need to learn how to be adults in the room, i don't have time for that childish initial, not a light silence in the, i'm gonna go forward and continue building awareness about this threat in the future. evening. >> good evening, chris. thank you very much, and thanks to you at home for the joining of this hour. cast your mind back for a moment to the days after the november 2020 election. one of the things that can be hard to remember about that moment now the stop the steal election deniers has metastasized so broadly is that the chorus of people insisting that there is massive fraud and that donald trump was the real winner of the election, was really quite small, it was very loud of course, because it included, you know, the sitting president of the united states, but in the first weeks after the election, it was really just rudy giuliani, and his ragtag bunch of conspiracy theorists and right wing lawyers, they spewed a bunch of nonsense at the infamous four seasons total landscaping press conference in pennsylvania. and the equally infamous hair dye presser in which rudy giuliani appeared to be melting. but they were losing court case after court case in they're tempt to get joe biden's victory overturned in various swing states. failing in court, they tried to get republican state legislate torious overturn the election results instead. but the republican leaders this would not play ball. but in pennsylvania, they did find one guy who would help them. a first-term republican state senator with overturning joe biden's win in pennsylvania. if the republican leaders in the legislature wouldn't help trump, he. >> would and he got an all-republican committee to hold a sort of fake hearing and couldn't do it at state capital itself and got together at the wyndham hotel in getysburg and invited rudy giuliani and supposed witnesses to voter fraud to give a presentation about how the election in pennsylvania was rigged. that would convince the state legislature to overturn the results. surely. and this was a special guest, too. >> one additional witness. of. >> please. >> i would say mr. president, you're connected. >> i really appreciate being asked to speak and i'm in the oval office right now and it's very interesting to see what is going on and this is an election that we won easily, we won it by a lot. between the voter suppression and all of the horrible things that happened to poll watcher, every single professional in the business, would have said there's no way of being, that we got 1 million votes more than we had four years before in 2016, they were in many cases wisked out of the room, not only in to pens that were 20, 40, 60 feet ai would and then you have two people -- >> president trump took time out of his busy day of presidency, to drone on as you're hearing for more than 10 minutes with all of the conspiracy theories about the election. as one of his election conspiracy lawyers held her phone up to the microphone. it was bizarre and this was unmistaking, not mistaking who is responsible for making it all happen. >> it goes without sighing
