and some elsewhere, was that should this have ended in death. and protesters say no. despite of course what may have preceded beforehand. his defense, however, penny has argued that he was doing this to protect the safety of those on the passenger car, though witnesses said neely hadn t attacked anyone yet. but again, it s what passengers were feeling prior to that that will likely play a big part in this case. for our part we have reached out to attorneys for daniel penny on this particular on these particular details about the charge and turning himself in and i haven t heard back at this point. but obviously a significant development in this case. and again, tomorrow morning is when he s expected to turn himself in. we should note that this death not only has sparked protests but it also has prompted some very serious conversations about how society deals with people with serious mental health struggles in this country. yeah, jake. this was someone who by all account
nomination. if we end this war and putin s still standing, he s unaccountable for the war crimes. you don t end the war, you just create more conflict. i think people saw last night what they would get with another term of donald trump as president, which is completely untethered to the truth, uncertain as to whether he wants russia or ukraine to win in the brutal conflict which russia has imposed on ukraine. i think it was a great opportunity for the people of america to see just exactly who it is donald trump has become. reporter: and a number of republicans also did not want to weigh in. some senior republicans as well as the speaker of the house kevin mccarthy, who was asked repeatedly today about a number of trump s comments, he did not weigh in. he s having a press conference in a matter of moments on a different topic. we ll see if he decides to engage there. but others as well, even some
[ applause ] one thing you didn t do in this and i swear and i ve never done that. and i swear to you, i have no idea who the hell she s a whack job. [ laughter ] you did not testify the reaction today has been rather harsh. the biden campaign did not waste any time tweeting out a video of trump s january 6th comments alongside video of the insurrection. but we should note it is not just democrats today looking askance at trump s many false and outrageous comments last night. the senate s number two republican, john thune of south dakota quipped, it looked like a lot of democratic campaign ads being written last night. and several other republicans today seemed to be distancing themselves from policies and positions trump laid out on the debt ceiling and the russian war on ukraine and the pardons, not to mention his overall fitness to be president. let s go to capitol hill right now. cnn s manu raju has been chasing law players to get their reactions to the town hall.
people we re talking about getting pardoned. and this. this is what trump last night called a beautiful day. earlier today a third circuit court judge noted that trump s remarks, telling a legal conference in philadelphia, everybody in this room has seen the video. he said who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes? the town hall was held one day after a jury found mr. trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation of writer e. jean carroll in the 1990s. some in the audience seemed to enjoy trump once again defaming the woman to whom he now owes $5 million for sexual abuse. they said he didn t rape her. they did not and i didn t do anything else either. you know what? because i have no idea who the hell she is. they said sir, don t do it. this is a fake story and you don t want to give it credibility. that s why i didn t go.
with republicans on capitol hill who previously had supported him. reporter: yeah, that s right. including one in particular, senator todd young of indiana, a conservative indiana republican, someone who has aligned himself, supported a lot of the trump policies, supported him in the past, said he will no longer support him, voicing concerns that were echoed across the line among traditional allies and some critics about those comments about ukraine, not taking a position on ukraine versus russia, not calling vladimir putin a war criminal, suggesting he would pardon a vast majority of those january 6th defendants, and also suggesting that the united states should default if republicans don t get their way on spending cuts. republicans up and down the line were pushing back. president trump s judgment is wrong in this case. president putin and his government have engaged in war crimes. are you worried that your party s leading presidential candidate is of course it does. that
