Officer as he tried to climb through that doorway. that is her on the top right corner of your screen trying to breach the barricade towards the chamber where members were still evacuating. capitol police conducted an internal investigation and found no wrongdoing by the officer. it s obviously a terry s very sad tragic situation, when that would not have happened if donald trump had not with his supporters into a violent frenzy and sent them marching towards the capitol. so, marjorie taylor greene s claim that babbitt was murdered by a capitol police officer who was trying to protect members of congress is so extreme, even for her, kevin mccarthy had to jump into damage control. one of the first things that marjorie taylor greene said from the oversight dais was that ashli babbitt was more burritt murdered. do you think ashli babbitt? or do you think the police officer was doing his job? i think the police officer did his job. that rebuttal did not sit too well with his de facto boss. back the blue candidate issued a post on his twitter
That he was working for george santos. so, you can t find someone to agree to work with you as a treasure, to sign off on your campaign finance filings that s just a problem, i think. yeah, one thing that i think he is going to learn in congress is that, with great power comes great responsibility. josh kovensky, i thank you very much thanks for having me chris hayes. still ahead, the maga fringe theories even too extreme for kevin mccarthy now taking center stage in the 2024 republican primary race. that is next. that is next are you ready for me are you ready are you ready #1 isn t a status earned overnight. it s earned in every wash, and re-earned every day. tide. america s #1 detergent. appreciate it so much. thank you.
I m chris hayes. on tuesday of next week, president joe biden will be making his very first appearance under the big top. the capitol dome a housing the utter circus that is the republican-led house of representatives. it s been since being taken over the mega congress the congress has so far been a spectacle, but newsmax tv or steve bannon spired podcast in the halls and hearing rooms of congress. even after four years with on top of the white house, even many republican members themselves recognize this as a new level of absurdity. kevin mccarthy, the mostly feckless speaker of the house, finally got his first big win yesterday, rallying his caucus to knock democratic congresswoman ilhan omar off the foreign affairs committee. but in the immediate aftermath some republicans in the caucus voted to do it conceded victory was not worth the cost. following the vote house foreign affairs member can block, republican of caroler ottawa, s were overheard in an elevator calling it the
Self proclaimed crime fighter from queens pretends to have produced musical about fictional fund crime fighter from queens. the least in the ever growing list of george santos fibs come from bloomberg tonight, apparently santos telling donors on the run up to his election that he had been a producer [laughter] for the broadway musical spider, turn out the dark. that s what people familiar with the discussions. of course he wasn t involved with the production at all, according to the shows lead producer. it s kind of a weird thing to make up stories about, because the show was quite infamously a hugely expensive flop. none of this came to light until after he was elected to represent new york s third congressional district. in the nearly four weeks since he s actually been in congress car santos spent a lot of time running from reporters, escaping into elevators in
Ilhan omar, eric swalwell, and adam schiff? i mean, those who pay very close attention, yes, but basically, they are going to get away with it, michael. i don t like saying it, but that s the reality because this news is not as big of news as other things, like the classified documents, and more importantly for democrats, like the job numbers that came out today. so they get away with it in the sense of the public probably won t really care about it too much. but when they want to bring it up and do pointed things to the republicans, the democrats will have it in their pocket, which is rightfully so because it is disgraceful that she was removed from this committee. i have very little in common with the congresswoman politically, but this shouldn t be about politics. she is qualified to be there, frankly as were the other two congress members who were removed from committees. to see on the floor, to see
Room whose daughter was murdered on january 6th, actually babbitt. and actually babbitt has there has never been a trial. as a matter of fact, no one has cared about the person who shot and killed her and no one in congress has really address that issue. the january 6th committee did not address it. and i believe there are many people that came into the capital on january six to civil rights and liberties are being violated heavily. that was how republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greene began her tenure on the house oversight committee this week claiming that ashli babbitt was murdered, that it was one of leading to the still occupied house chamber. that s the inner sanctum where the members were, on january 6th. she was killed by a single shot fired by a capitol police
Dissimilar from marjorie taylor greene in the last congress, who had no committee assignments, and did not really have much in the way of official duties. and so, there was not much for her to do other than troll. i guess, the constituents services that s basically what george santos i have to imagine everyone there also feels like the clock is ticking on this show. it is really unclear if it gets picked up for a second season, although who knows. but it certainly seems like there is a lot pointing to their actual serious law enforcement investigations that could be a lot of trouble yeah. i just don t want to go on that. because we just don t know. but we do know that local, state and federal authorities are investigating santos. finances typically his campaign finances. i think one of the funny things that came out of the story is, george santos firing his treasurer and hiring a treasure, at least on his campaign filings, who had agreed to work for him and the guy had to deny
From there he went on to work for steve bannon, with hunter and hunter biden exposé if you want to call it that. he ended up working with matt gaetz, and after the fbi investigation into gaetz s alleged sex trafficking, after those went away, he ended up working for george santos. so another point it s interesting about vish burra, which is basically ideological. he s a maga provocateur. but a specific way where he s kind of going around politicians who are facing these big scandals. and i think he s serving a purpose that is in an extreme way, the intent is part to draw intention. in santos s case with vish burra, if you re part of the movement dedicated to discrediting american government, to making people think that it s irreparable and run by liars and frauds, it makes a lot of sense to draw attention to a guy in congress who is a liar he is also in a situation not
And save. it spy balloon winner. i love, it s by balloon. my winner is the president of united states with an economy that is not just steady but expanding, jobs being created, heading into his state of the union next week. the president is showing the kind of strength that i think the country at the end of the day really want to see a leader possess. so there it is. susan del percio and dean obeidallah thank you guys so much. that s tonight s read out. joy reid returns on monday. all in with chris hayes starts right now. ts right now. tonight on all in. i have to tell you in illinois they received 5.1 billion at an elementary school there then used it for equity and diversity. as the maga congress investigates nonsense and chases balloons up in the clouds.
Democrat, who was indicted and convicted, still wouldn t leave, the house had to expel him. but i can t imagine santos resigning, even if he were indicted. if you were indicted by the u.s. attorney, then house republican leadership would come under immense pressure to remove him from congress. there would be grounds for expelling him, but kevin mccarthy needs. he continues to be an albatross around the neck of republican leadership. ritchie torres, who also represents a district in new york along with true santos. still to come, they show how they can push back against the new maga congress. and guarantee that that person has not participated or supported or in any way helped and over in the overthrow the government united states. it s a simple proposition. latest on today s judiciary
