This country back together with just standing for hope and integrity and truth. he s gonna have to fight. and he came out fighting today. he was swinging at donald trump. he was reminding everyone what a bad guy this was, and what he has done to our country, the permanent damage. and i have got to tell you, the hardest thing for me in the year since this happened is the abject failure of smart, strong republicans on capitol hill their failure to stand up for what s right. when mccarthy ran down to mar-a-lago and tried to kiss and make up, and when mcconnell decided it was better the try to forget about it than to appoint a commission that would be bipartisan and maybe have more of a lasting impact than the 1/6 committee when those moments came, they passed.
Doesn t, that gives you hope about where we are going? good question. i haven t heard that one before. yeah. i m encouraged that the committee is focused on finding out the truth and just the facts. facts are very important. don t let people s opinion people start giving their opinions, and people take that as gospel. but once the facts are indisputtable. and i just like every other american that has an interest in it i just want to know the facts of that day. there is so much stuff that we still don t know about that day. and i m just patiently waiting for that those to be revealed. capitol police officer harry doesn t. officer, thank you for being with us today. i know it is a long one for you. i appreciate it. thank you, have a good day. that does it for us this hour. msnbc s special insurrection in america coverage begins right now.
None existent. give them points for consistency. they don t think joe biden should be president and donald trump should be. at least they are sticking to their guns but they are pretty rotten guns. congressman, the men and the women of the capitol police have become unwilling narrators to horrors of that day. and the 1/6 committee has not done much in terms of public hearings. but the one they did featured the testimony of officers doesn t and fannone and gunnell and others. i wonder what their thoughts are today and whether it is the ultimate failure to the people who laid down their bodies, their faces, their eyes, burned with chemicals and then have put down what john heilemann described, their tasked with day
And one man resurrected him. kevin mccarthy. you know, nicolle, i don t there is no question in my mind that kevin mccarthy that is a pivotal, key moment in what happened. i would say, and i think claire who suggested something in the previous block, i think to say only kevin mskt is to blame here lets a lot of other people off the hook. i think the reality is that mitch mcconnell, who hates donald trump and hates what donald trump has done to the party and hates trumpism and hates having to deal with all of it. there was discussion i remember well of mitch mcconnell putting together a bloc of senate republicans who might vote to convict donald trump in the after the impeachment, the second impeachment. instead of ended up giving scathing speech but voting to exonerate him and then recovered to get involved in building a diplomat by camerale committee
