there s a dark vain of intol vance in the party. it used to be smaller. you saw donald trump tap into that in 2016. and it keeps going back to that well and you see these other members being able to monetize this bigotry, and it pays dividends for them in terms of popularity and fundraising as well. hillary, republican congressman don bacon represents a swing district in nebraska. the omaha area. he said this about the infighting. take a listen. we re trying to show that we want to be the governing party next november, going into january of 23. and that requires winning people s confidence. and right now all the polling is great for us but this undermines that effort of taking back the speaker s gavel. we should not be shooting ourselves in the foot with infighting. and it s not appropriate. do you think it will actually hurt republicans, though? one of the things that happens when you aren t in charge is you don t have to be too responsible. you can spend a lot of energy
which is why people get phone calls when they test positive and they are contact traced. so he just breached his duty as a physician. now if i were the white house physician and i was told, don t say anything about this, i would resign. why do you think meadows is doing this now? just to sell books? i don t understand. i think he thought that whole ordeal was not a big deal. that s my best just that it was i don t think he would do anything that would make president trump angry with him, which he seems to be based on this statement. let me say this because it bears repeating and we can t say it enough. it s never too late to do the right thing. donald trump should still go out and tell his supporters, i got the vaccine. my wife got the vaccine. my kids got the vaccine. you can trust it and it s safe. he s yet to do that. it could make a huge difference when half the country still isn t vaccinated. so maybe this will be a wake-up call to him. behind closed doors, oh, we di
test. so the president was positive on the 26th and the white house physician knew it. what s astonishing to me is that the white house physician kept the fact that the president of the united states was positive for covid secret. dr. sean conley. for three days allowing multiple events, including the amy coney barrett event, the gold star family event and then the debate. no, it s crazy. when you think about joe biden is certainly in a vulnerable group. he s a man in his late 70s. alyssa, so here you have i can t even make sense of this, but mark meadows, who is a very loyal person to donald trump, he reveals this in his book. trump calls it fake news, even though it s from meadows book. his spokeswoman liz harrington, trump s spokesperson, puts out this statement and then mark calling it make fuse and mark
meadows retweets it. can you explain this? the vast majority of the people working in the white house around the task force under trump took covid seriously. but there were a handful of senior, senior most staff who genuinely thought it was nothing short of the common cold. even when we had over 150,000 americans who had died at that time. and i think the fact that mark published this suggests that he still thinks that. he doesn t seem to have reflected on the fact this was a terrible move in how to handle this and he absolutely should have disclosed to the public and quarantined the president. they still seem to not get this is a terrible, serious, deadly virus and that this action was deeply reckless. and i mean, we should just know you talked about physician, dr. sean conley who at the very least hid this from the public. but when you think about people who are in vulnerable groups, who met with donald trump, right, you talk about cancer survivors, a pregnant woman, chris christ
jersey, don t we, congressman? they re great drivers. the idea of someone like pat toomey who is pennsylvania, i mean, through and through. and casey. but it is a head scratcher. this seat is open because pat toomey was going to be facing a tough re-election in large measure. so you have to think about this hugging donald trump strategy. going way to the right is not where pennsylvania is generally as a whole. you know, it went for biden. it s elected democrats statewide. it s the governor s. i think that they re going to have trouble running a trump campaign. i don t know. i would trump won it in 2016. i would describe it as a purple state. i think statewide, actually in some respects, it s getting better for republicans. just in 2020, the statewide audit are general and treasure were two republicans who were good candidates but they had no money and beat incumdents and
