purely political purposes. supporting i want to bring in maría teresa kumar, president ceo of voto latino, and mark mckinnon, former advisor to both george w. bush and john mccain, and co-host of the circus on showtime. maria pointed out that there is nothing to expunge if you have been acquitted, which trump was. let s, we ve got multiple republican centrists making it clear today they don t support this, a vote could hurt them back home in their swing states. so, what is the point of this, maria? i think he is just trying to kick the can down the road. he doesn t want to be beholden to the extreme right of the republican party. and so, he is hoping that he will wait it out. he recognizes, though, that he does have a very thin margin in congress, and so we need to protect those republicans as best he can. but let s i mean, we have mccarthy on tape before he made these really ambitious votes,
teresa kumar, and mark mckinnon. maria teresa kumar, as some have pointed out, there s nothing to expunge if you have been acquitted, which trump was, plus you ve got multiple republican centrists making it clear today they don t support this, a vote could hurt them back home in their swing states. so, what is the point of this, maría? i think he is just trying to kick the can down the road. he doesn t want to be beholden to the extreme right of the republican party. and so, he is hoping that he will wait it out. he recognizes, though, that he does have a very thin margin in congress, and so we need to protect those republicans as best he can. but let s i mean, we have mccarthy on tape before he made these really ambitious votes, anti-impeachment, thinking that trump wasn t guilty. so, what we have is a duplicitous speaker trying to do anything that he can to retain the minimal power that he has, alicia. mark, it s so striking to me
after the fact, but nothing tells the score quite like what a person was doing in saying back at the time and now we have mccarthy on tape. um-hum. ryan nobel under uncovered the texts between scott perry to mark med ohos after the 2020 election that show him pushing to have the nay nation s top intel official investigate the conspiracy claims. including this text on november 12th and i quote here. it says, from an intel friend dni needs to task nsa to immediately seize and begin looking for international comms related to kmin onwas china malware involved. everything he proposed in the texts is wrong or illegal. why. tell us more. yeah, scott perry doesn t have the profile of a kevin mccarthy. but boy, oh boy, the things he is asking people to do are really extreme here. he is asking to seize voting machines. he is floating the crazy theory
great skeptd schism and painted an alternate reality to hear mccarthy on tape to say this. this is a perhap fear i have. i don t want to get into conversation about pence pardoning. again, the only discussion to have with him is that i think this will pass meaning the 25th amendment resolution or impeachment resolution and it would be my recommendation you donald trump should resign. i don t think he would take it. do you view the acknowledgement that an assumption is made that pence would have to pardon him after he resigns and the criminal conduct? certainly i think any time someone talks about pardon there s implied criminal conduct. can t read the words of what he meant by this will pass. my impression is if he resigns
