Get more chilling than this, ari. and so, you know, i know we with talk about crime a lot and so on but there is a much deeper thing here, which is the essence of our democracy is giving everyone the right to vote and what these people wanted to do was give it to the hands of some state legislators. most americans don t know who their state legislators are and have them pick the president instead of voters. neil, thank you, sir. when we come back, as promised, the accountability for alex jones. your doctor gives you a prescription. “let s get you on some antibiotics right away.” we could bring it right to your door. with 1 to 2 day delivery from your local cvs. or same day if you need it sooner. but aren t you glad you can also just swing by to pick it up, and get your questions answered? because peace of mind is something you just can t get in a cardboard box.
Like to hear people like senator romney, who have stood up for the constitution in these moments from his state, you know, ask some of these questions. and there is a really important article today, ari, in the bulwark we amanda carpenter and she really goes into an explanation of what senator leigh was doing. that he was trying to get legislators to try ask throw out the popular vote. and she goes through this in some detail. and i guess, you could say well nobody s perfect. i mean, hasn t made a rush to judgment and realize they made a mistake but, you know, this is really a constitutional betrayal. this is not some minor thing. neil with democracy is dying dad-joke pun, we are here for it. congressman raskin, also, speaking out. take a listen. this was a coup organized by the president against the vice president and against the congress in order to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
With nothing. trump is, you know, what are whatever you think of it, he is offering the gop base voters something. gop has offered them nothing in return. nobody has even try today offer a trumpy alternative that is not non-trumpist of the gop base. the only one who kind of has has been ron desantis ask his solution has to be even more to be even trumpier than trump. trumpier than trump and, yet, he would argue i think behind closed doors that it s less chaos that wall street ask those power bases can deal with desantis as harvard grad and former marine, i believe, former military, but he can still do all the other, um what s the word political crap. um, i suspect he will be hearing from both of you again as midterms approach. i appreciate you joining us. david plough and jake. thank you, ari. up ahead. accountability story.
Works. he clearly doesn t want to own the violence that occurred on the floor where he was standing. and yet, now it is all out this again goes to why investigations matter. i am not aware of anyone at this juncture suggesting any criminal liability for senator lee. we are talking about something more nuanced but quite important. your former colleague attorney general holder was the person in charge of domg for a period of time. this is what he said. plik mike leigh must be confronted quote about his actions to subvert our electoral process and approximate held accountable. um, what do you think of that point from holder? and what lee owes at least his constituents, if not the nation? eric holder is absolutely right, 100%. it may not be criminal, ari. it might be but it s certainly a betrayal of our constitutional democracy or that he is the way it looks from these texts. now, maybe he has got some explanation. i d like to hear it and i would
Mike lee seems to be pushing the idea that this stuff would just happen, and if it did, it would create a tougher call for congress to potentially get involved and overthrow the outcome! yet, the texts at a legal investigative level at least, neil, seem to raise questions about what he was trying to do. break it down for us. 100%, ari. i guess it turns out mike lee was for alternate slates of electors before he was against them and it is so sad because i didn t think of mike lee as some ordinary politician. i had a great deal of respect for him. i used to debate him on c span and stuff. his dad was former solicitor general of the united states. enormously respected and nobody doubted that man s love of the country and constitution and what these e-mails depict is something far different, twisted, and different. it is a win-at-all-cost mentality. indeed, the only reason mike lee backs down from this crazy plot is not because it s wrong.
