trump, but his day trip to an atlanta jail will refocus the 2024 discussion back kwarly on the front runner. joining me now is one of donald trump s biggest critics, the former republican governor of maryland. thank you so much for joining me. larry hogan, i should say your name. let s start with the notable moment that i know you were sort of looking at. a lot of people took notice of. it s when the moderators asked the candidates to raise their hands and ask if it they would still support donald trump as the nominee if he is convicted in any of the criminal cases. let s look at what happened. you all signed a pledge to support the eventual republican nominee. if former president trump is convict ed in a court of law, would you still support him as your party s choice? raise your hand if you would.
you tweeted you were interested in the new polling that shows how republicans feel, if he gets convicted. if the president gets convict ed, like 50% of republicans say they wouldn t vote for him again. this is to any senator that did not vote to remove trump. we voted to impeach him. mcconnell stands up and says there s a criminal system for this. but he s out of office. let s let him go home. that s what all these senators were saying. he s done. he s not going to run again. of course, he s going to run again. had removed him like the maimty of them wanted to in their hearts, the republican party would be fixed and we wouldn t be talking about this right now. appreciate it. there s a reenactment of a school shoot tag will bring gunfire to parkland, florida. it s part of a lawsuit against the officer who failed to stop it.

but wait a second. what they re saying is this is fundamentally a political messaging document, it is not a serious lawsuit. well, with i ll tell you, chris, this is not about partisanship. it s about patriotism. and i ll tell you one other thing. when the lawsuit was filed by the dnc against the nixon campaign, that was the exact response of the nixon campaign and john mitchell and other folks who later became convict ed felons. and we saw what happened in watergate and we will see what will happen here. that s true. 1972, shortly after the break, the dnc files a lawsuit on the day that nixon leaves office. finally, senator claire mccaskill, who s in one of the most contested races in the entire country in missouri, of course, she called this lawsuit a silly distraction. and i wonder if you your response to that. well, we can walk and chew gum. i love senator mccaskill. we ve invested in her race. we re going to continue to
