i waited it out. it s like the way it was going, it was set up for me to walk away. he s a great example of a person exercising his civic duty by any means necessary. now texas attorney general ken paxton who is being investigated by the state bar for his role in pushing the big lie with his lawsuit against four battleground states to try and overturn the election, that ken paxton, had hervis rogers arrested and is prosecuting him forecasting his ballot. rogers is charged with two counts of knowingly voting illegally, second-degree felonies with a possible sentence of 20 years in prison on each counting. his bail was set at a staggering $100,000. when he voted, rogers was a few months shy of the end of his parole for a burglary conviction in the 1990s. under texas lot formerly incarcerated are prohibited from voting until their parole ends. but rogers attorney from the
vote and said he had no idea that he wasn t allowed to under the jim crow era rules. his attorney joins me next. plus lying about the big lie. trump s lawyers are hauled into court and pretend they have no role in spreading misinformation about donald trump s defeat. plus cheering on sickness and death. the reidout continues after this. the reidout continues after this now, there s skyrizi. things are getting clearer. i feel free to bare my skin yeah, that s all me. nothing and me go hand in hand nothing on my skin, that s my new plan. nothing is everything. achieve clearer skin with skyrizi. 3 out of 4 people achieved 90% clearer skin at 4 months. of those, nearly 9 out of 10 sustained it through 1 year. and skyrizi is 4 doses a year, after 2 starter doses. i see nothing in a different way it s my moment so i just gotta say. nothing is everything.
impeaching him thought it would rein him in and it just made him worse. do you believe that he is dangerous? do you believe that he is inciting domestic terrorism just daily in his public appearances and speeches? absolutely. he proves that he was dangerous when he was in office. you know, now without some of those constraints, i think it s even more so. like you mentioned before, some of the social media companies even feel he is so dangerous that they have deplatformed him. so the fact that he s going to continue to try through every available tool, whether it s speaking at political conventions or giving interviews, that he s going to continue to fan these flames and to continue to perpetuate the big lie. it absolutely concerns us, because the hallmark of democracy is a peaceful transfer of power. and the former president was very clear that he did not believe in that. he ginned up his folks, asked
effort to promote donald trump s big lie and pass legislation and these states we re seeing it happen all over here. so you never know what they ll do next when it comes to any means necessary to bring us back to pass these bills that will hurt access to the ballot box. let me play texas governor abbott. this is him explaining why he would like to see drive-through voting banned. with regard to the drive-through voting, listen, this violates the fundamentals of the way that voting integrity has always been achieved and that is the sanctity of the ballot box. if you do drive-through voting, you re going to have people in the car with you and it could be somebody from your employ or somebody else who may have a coercive effect on the way that you would cast your ballot. have you ever heard of anything like that? somebody being in the car to do what? let me ask representative bucy and then julian castro. no, of course not.
sure. he has two challengers. all of a sudden he s donald trump incarnate and is carrying out this big lie. fortunately, we have legislators who are willing to use every tool in the toolbox. i hope that s going to inspire some of the folks here in d.c. it would be helpful. representative bucy, the thing that s impressive about what you all are doing is showing some guts and some strategery. are you concerned about literally leaving your state and risking arrest is not reflected at this moment among democrats in washington? the time is running out and it needs to happen quickly. we ve been encouraged by some things we ve heard from congress, but, you know, we haven t seen the action and that s why we re coming back. we ve had a delegation up here, we re coming back to keep the pressure on. we need everyone, whether it s in the press or constituents all across this country that believe in this country and believe in our democracy to keep that
