audience of this chant from pretty much every single trump rally over the last six years. watch this. [crowd chanting] lock her up! [crowd chanting] lock her up! [crowd chanting] lock her up! if you couldn t hear that, that s what they were saying. and it s what they said again tonight on fox news. why on earth, how can republicans argue that that is a, okay, but what s happening now is not? well, because they re not making the argument to you, or me, or anyone watching this right now. they are making the argument to a very narrow group of and vigils who would actually buy into it and start chanting lock her up. they don t recognize hypocrisy. they don t recognize, you know, the vagrancy s of law and order that require certain types of behavior, and that process.
jason, and there was an argument being made essentially that political opponent shouldn t target their, political figure should not target their opponents. and kind of, it s ironic considering the lock her up chant during the 2016 election. i want to play a bit of that sound, then we will talk. what do you think in general about jailing political opponents? totally against, against the constitution, it s not american. it s not the u.s.. i mean, think about it. so, i feel like we re talking about two different things. i m talking about when trump was trying to get it luria jail in 2016? all, i see what you mean. you are trump rallies in 2016? yes, when he was chanting lock her up, lock her up. i was chanting along with him. but let me say this, she wouldn t have investigated, they never investigated anything in matter fact they
lawyers words. i wonder i remember in 2016 at the convention doing the nightly set and saying to lester holt the republican party died in this room tonight listening to mike flynn at the podium and listening to the trump supporters chanting lock her up. i had the opposite feeling today. i feet like the rule of law came roaring back today. that s right. and it felt good, right? this sends a message to the world that we are a nation of laws. that s what we saw on the screen today. everything that we witnessed today, nicolle, was self-inflicted by donald trump. he was the one who took these documents, he was the one who department them, he was the one who lied about it. he was the one who evan gauged in a conspiracy to conceal all of those things. doj didn t have a choice but to bring this case. if they had not, we would not be
emails, the entire gop chanting lock her up whenever they had the opportunity. now because donald trump is the target, now it s about a conspiracy, it s political. let me also say this, what the hell is governor andrew doing right now? i have, i want to ask that question now, you just put it out there, let s not have it be rhetorical. what is he doing? what is he doing? he is cowering for the maga republicans right now. undermining the investigation of be a brag, going after president biden on how the president has handled even though there s been no change in the policies of the president has taken office. see, and the talks about the
chanting lock her up would end dome crazy. donald trump would say lock her up as a call and response audience about you. guttural about the amount of rage about you personally. kept hearing also that phrase lock her up, lock her up. you heard that last night. you heard references to put her in jail the night before. tough stuff. jesse: they told us only tyrants jail their political opponents. and now they are cheering it on. are you saying that today might not be the day for the indictment? stop toying with my emotions. [laughter] rough saying it s not going to happen today? not fair to me. you should prosecute the case. and happen in a timely manner. but the timely manner was a year ago. that timeline is the 2024 election cycle. like her up was a joke. trump never indicted crooked.
