that somehow what happened that day, the people have the right to ignore the rulings of the courts. we are, in fact, a nation of laws, and we are a nation of laws only if we defend our constitutional republic. and as i made clear last night, we have to put our oath to the constitution above party. we are now bracing a cult of personality and i won t be part of that and i will always stand for my oath and stand ford truth. she is one of the few republicans in office that will say something like that out loud. bakari sellers and michelle are back with me. thank you for being here. let s start with some of the things we heard there. i heard somewhat aboutism that we hear often. when you hear from liz cheney, who is a staunch conservative republican like, those credentials cannot be tarik en away taken away from her in the party. are there any upsides? i ll start with you, bakari, for her to come out swinging against
strength of all of these women who were in the movement. and she epitomized that so much. and so for a lot of black folk in this country, a lot of poor folk in this country, you believe that justice for you is fleeting. and emmett till is the perfect case to depict that. and you talked about the you talked about the fact that a grand jury did not return an indictment. i mean, that s a part of the justice system in this case being broken and not working for everyone because we know that prosecutors can go in there and make whatever case they want to make, either one they can indict someone or one they can lead to a lack of indictment, as we saw in this case. so, there s so many people who failed this family. and, you know, you cannot rest until justice is had for a 13-year-old young black boy from chicago who was brutally murdered in mississippi. both of you, thank you so much. these are very hard cases. we ve heard from two families tonight who were really struggling. and thank y
but, again, she s speaking to a certain group of people, right? are other republicans going to follow suit? i ll start with you. i think that the fever has not broken yet. if trump keeps losing altitude, if, for instance, it starts looking like 2024 he would be a big liability, there are funders who are starting to give a lot of money to potential competitors or opponents for him. he s going to have to lose a little bit more altitude and prove that you can succeed in the party without his blessing before they re going to line up. he lived through access hollywood. he ll live through this as well. for some reason he s teflon. i haven t figured that part out yet, but you applaud liz cheney. she realizes the writing is on the wall with her race. she s running to the end, but it s an uphill battle for her. there aren t many people willing to pay that price and it s unfortunate their putining their
things we just heard there. i heard some what aboutism that we hear often. when you hear from liz cheney who is a staunch republican conservative. those credentials cannot be taken away from her in party. are there any upsides for her to come out swinging against donald trump and trumpism? she s putting the constitution over her party. ooip not someone who will say i will embrace liz cheney an her policies that are probably 180 degrees different than myself. on the is up of how fragile our democracy is and wanting to get to the truth about january 6th, she s right. i think that is we have to give credit where credit is due. for far too long we live in a country of silos where we seek out news and opinion that reenforces our own. it s okay to say liz cheney is putting this country ahead of
person. it s unclear how she got that passport or if they knew. she did change her appearance as well, anderson. short hair instead of the long, blonde hair she had. the news continues. i want to hand it over to sara i want to hand it over to sara sidner and cnn tonight. captions by vitac www.vitac.com thank you. and this is cnn tonight. new information is coming to light pertaining to a star witness for the january 6th committee. did donald trump s inner circle try to keep cassidy hutchinson from speaking the truth about what she knows, and is that a crime? according to three cnn sources t former aide to then white house chief of staff mark meadows told the panel she was contacted by someone in the trump camp attempting to influence her testimony. remember those messages vice chair liz cheney read aloud at tuesday s hearing alluding to possible witness intimidation. the gop congresswoman didn t name names but she relayed accounts of two unidentified
