The Washington Examiner's Sarah Westwood predicted that Ronna McDaniel will remain the Republican National Committee chairwoman despite big endorsements for her opponent.
former chairman of the south carolina republican party and joins us from colombia in south carolina. i appreciate you both being here. i want the two of you here because i see phillip as quintessential tea party guy and dawson quintessential republican party guy. this has crystallized the mistrust that exists and open warfare that exists between the tea party base and republican establishment and racises questions to co-exist. you said that in response to what happened in and thousand cochran won the race, you want mississippis to vote not for thad cochran but the democratic candidate. can you explain? >> well, right, when the republicans are so desperate to keep a big spending lifetime
this? >> we're hearing it from mostly supporters, a lot of the volunteers who have been involved with the race, people who are on social media and who have been reactive in kind of pushing their message and agenda. there was a staffer yesterday who is close to mcdaniel who lashed out on twitter. he eventually deleted that tweet and sent out a press release where he explained his rilgsship with mayfield. didn't apologize for what he said. the gist of it and it's gotten uglier and uglier, the police mishandled the way they arrested him and the district attorney you know came up with bogus charges or the bond was set too high. and you know, that the cochran campaign and supporters made political hay out of something they shouldn't have. the blame is being put out
university level. you know, where clearly you have university professors taking controversial positions in their classrooms, a political science professor and so forth. now it takes seven years or so to get tenure in a university enyou have to publish and do all kinds of things. all you need to do is survive. and not get rated unsatisfactory a couple of years and brought up on charged. all you got to do is sit there and wait for the clock to tick. it doesn't have to tick very long. >> okay, so dennis, one thing wayne asked there, can you point to an example in one of those types of cases, where that's happening? >> absolutely. it happens all the time. when -- if the law is removed, the right to have due process and by the way, tenure at the university level -- >> give us an example then. >> i'll give you an example. >> somebody removed for race or
this is not the party of reagan. >> no! >> but we're not done fighting. when we're done, it will be. >> that was chris mcdaniel in what was not his concession speech on tuesday night after losing to thad cochran by less than two points. we talked about the way he won the race this week, reaching out to african-americans who generally vote democratic enraged his defeated tea party opponents and toe party leaders across the country. >> insider republicans in the senate bought 9 or 10 percentage points from the black uncle tom voters in mississippi. >> so with these tensions building, what will be the national fallout from the cochran/mcdaniel race. we have phillip dennis, and the
religion. >> let's hear the example. >> just recently a teacher who is highly regarded early child diagno childhood he had indicator has been very vocal in blogs and public meetings about the needs for early childhood program. she was called in at the end of the year in a five-minute meeting and informed she would be teaching fifth grade social studies next year. it is simply retaliation for speaking out. if you are not -- >> she didn't lose her job she didn't lose her job. >> not required to give any reason for firing someone, they can be fired because of race or religion or speaking out or any other reason because they don't have to say why. we've got to protect good teachers, students deserve to have good teachers and we can't let an arbitrary system simply remove them from the classrooms. >> i know wayne is anxious to respond. there's a lot more i want to get into. we'll pick it up right after this. core each month for free! awesomesauce! wow! the only person i know that says that is...lisa?
wake of this tragic human event with the suicide and how that divides two factions down there. are you confident republicans can come together and for november and win this thing? >> not anymore, no. there's a sense that this is over as far as any kind of challenge and all, they are going to go through there. the odds of them actually finding enough irregularities to make a difference in the race is probably slim their clearly are some but i don't think it's as widespread as they are trying to make people believe. i don't see any real stomach for saying look, we're supporting thad cochran. it's something not there among the rank in file of the tea party movement and his core supporters. and i don't think it's there for mcdaniel right now at all. >> all right, my thanks to sam hall. you've been great covering the story. appreciate all of the work
>> the catastrophe adds to the opposition to reform. >> it does. >> case is being made that obama did this deferred action program and sent the wrong message. now we're being flooded with more -- >> we have no system to take care of any of this. that's what i mean. then it's just like a human tragedy that's happening there. >> the question on whether or not republicans or folks that would be against something are sort of see the human tragedy of it all and will act, i think we're way past that. >> if they are not going to act already, this is -- we're done. >> and i think from your point in terms of reviewing one race to look long-term and see how that affects -- the issue is they are looking at their immediate future rather than the focus of the paerlt in the future. we've seen that from every issue over past couple of years, they do not care about the long-term
which you have reported so much on and bridge gate. they have a lot on their plate to investigate. i do think the manhattan da could turn this around faster. >> we'll look at that one first and all of the other ones at the same time. my thanks to paul butler and new york times kate, how the gop is destroying itself from within. the infighting has only gotten worse after the shocking death of a key figure in the race's biggest scandal. all of the new details are next.
