involved. these are republicans who were fighting republicans in a contest over whether we were going to be a democracy or literally have our government overthrown. watch this as the great rachel mad dough would say, thank you very much. up next on the reidout, trump candidates had some wins and losses yesterday. the primary results show how deeply the deep lie is taking hold inside the party. the reidout continues after
dismissive. if we want right to matter, we have to make it matter. i think the congress, the senate in particular, senate republicans abrogated their responsibilities under the oath they swore during the trial. there s a direct logic link to the 600,000 dead. if the president was held accountable, removed we would have 600,000 more americans walking the streets today. if they censured him, the president would have been on his heels, we would have been more concerned going into covid. if we want it to matter, we have to make it matter. an individual can make a difference, it s that simple. i m an example of that, whether that was willingly or not. i think we should keep that in mind and try to make things president. jonathan lemire with the associated press is here with a question. john? colonel, good morning, thanks for being here. during that time when you were
