There weren’t as many records set in their victory over the Panthers, and they may have taken a backseat to the pregame Ring of Honor news, but the Cowboys still picked up win No. 2 in this four-game stretch of needed victories.
republicans as they go into the next few weeks. do they have the support of republicans to do something like this? what is behind mccarthy opening up this door in the way that he is this week in. well, there is certainly a lot of support among the right wing, the freedom caucus, a number of the hard liners. when you get somebody like ken buck, a republican in the house saying this is just a distraction, this is a bright, shiny object from all the problems that republicans have and then you see the total disinterest on the part of republicans in the senate, i mean, you know, the basic question you got to ask yourself is what is the high crime and misdemeanor that they are alleging that joe biden has committed? that s what the constitution says. high crimes and misdemeanors. mccarthy said, well, we have to have the inquiry to find out. it has a bit of an alice in wonderland quality to it. you know, i just they can talk about it.
yourself, abby, is what is the high crime and misdemeanor that they are alleging that joe biden has committed? that s what the constitution says, high crimes and misdemeanors. mccarthy said, well, we ve got to have the inquiry to find out. it has a little bit of an alice in wonderland verdict today, trial tomorrow quality to it. you know, i just we can talk about, it i suppose they can open an investigation if they want. but if they were actually going to go to the floor and vote, this is a very hard vote, even in the conservative republican run house for a lot of those republicans who actually won in districts that joe biden won. this would be a pretty hard vote for them to take. yeah, and to your point, they have not really been able to show much evidence of anything that s directly tied to president biden. but the other context of this, i think there s the politics of what mccarthy is facing in the house itself. the other part of it is just the big picture here.
welcome back. this morning we are getting brand-new information and new reaction from lawmakers on capitol hill following the indictment of former president trump. overnight house speaker kevin mccarthy tweeted in part, quote, it is unconscionable for a president to indict the leading candidate opposing him. joe biden kept classified documents for decades. again, that was mccarthy. he also said, quote, house republicans will hold this brazen weaponization of power accountable. joining us now from capitol hill is nbc sthere? reporter: what we have seen here on capitol hill, at least until a few minutes ago, was a fascinating breakdown. house republicans for most part immediately rallied to the former president s aid. you showed what speaker mccarthy said. others in house leadership said similar things immediately on twitter. this is a moment where congress is out of session. we can t see these lawmakers
he sort of any sort of primary campaign? there are already prime minister challengers lining up against santos. he said santos has a lot of things going on. i think he has other things to focus on in his life other than running for re-election. i went on to ask him about calling on him to resign. mccarthy has not called on him to resign, saying there is a process that plays out here and members have been indicted, cleared and still continued to serve. his bar has been different on that issue. but he did say that he would call on santos to resign if the house ethics committee, which is also launching an investigation into santos, comes back and finds that santos broke the law. i asked mccarthy directly, i said, if there is if the ethics committee comes back and finds that santos broke the law, alleges that he did, would you call on him to resign? mccarthy said, quote, yes. so that is the speaker s bar in trying to push santos out. now, there is a serious political consideration here
