people. both those within and different from our own sexuality and gender identity. whether you are a member of the lgbtq community or you are and all i, we all have a role to play and the quest for equal representation. onscreen and off. i m jonathan kaye part. have a good night and happy pride. and happ we begin this hour honoring how far we have come in the 50 years since the stonewall riots here in this neighborhood, those riots opened the country s eyes and the demonization of gay people. it was on stonewall in 1969 that bar goers refused to follow orders to leave their only safe haven in the city. their refusal lead to them for being beaten a number of nights by police, spit upon by anti gay protesters. it was their bravery and belief and never sidelining their true
hugging republican in the hopes of helping the democratic component in november. is that a strategy that could come back to bite them in the behind? i don t love it, jonathan. i think at minimum, it s bad karma. and look, we don t, this economy, we don t know how bad the wave is going to be a november. i m very concerned that candidates that in any other cycle, especially for a lower offices for voters something that coastal tension to their particular issues. who are extremely radical, where anti democratic, are going to get washed into office this time. and so i think that i was more encourage actually by the democrats who did a good deed in georgia and crossed over to vote for brad raffensperger who help protect our democracy last time to play the fact that he s pretty conservative republican. so i don t think democrats need to do that in every case. but boy, i don t love the karma of trying to push the most extreme possible candidate to
american democracy. joining me now is msnbc political contributor and analyst, matthew dowd. he is also author of revelations on the river, healing a nation, healing ourselves. also joining, us soviet. nelson former house republican committee counsel, and the author of the the one you need. 21 life lessons i weren t learned while taking care of everyone but me. and, my washington post colleague an msnbc political analyst pull jennifer reuben, she is the author of resistance, how women save democracy from donald trump. thank you all very much for being here this morning, for coming back to the sunday show. sophia, you are in the middle so i m starting with you. here is what i find. interesting. about what judge lueck said. it was the truth! and his words have been met with incredible silence from the usual loudmouths mccarthy and jordan. why the silence? jonathan, look, you know that
welcome back to the sunday show, i m jonathan kaye part. that when you from conservative judge michael luttig at the january 6th hearing is a reminder that the insurrection that began that day is still unfolding. the washington post reported that so far this election year, more than 100 republican winners backed donald trump s false claims of election fraud. that includes nevada s gym marcia who this week won the state s republican primary for secretary of state. and pennsylvania s republican nominee doug mastriano, who was seen outside the capitol on january 6th. their primary victories could be a warning sign of what is to come at the general election. for these big lie supporters are now just one election away from being in positions to turn the aspirations of the january six insurrectionists into reality. a victory in november would put them in a position to do more, perhaps irreparable, damage to
voting that you think you can do by doing that, usually backfire in this. i think every person whether the republican independent or democrat should be supporting pro democracy candidates regardless of which primary they re voting in. even if you are electing somebody in nominating somebody that has a better chance of winning as a democrat, as a republican then might defeat a democrat. that s better for our country. that is much better for our country in this. and that s to me, we re going to wait on the attorney general and the justice department and all that and i hope they move and i hope they move fairly quickly in the aftermath of the hearings. in the end, jonathan, what s going to hold these people accountable is the only thing that s going to hold them is us. is november 8th, 149 days from now, is the only thing it s going to holds accountable. sophia, in the minute that we have left, let me have you listen to something brett hughes said on fox news earlier this week. we ll ta
