There are significant Republican House members that are very angry Marjorie Taylorgreene is part of their party and is going to still represent constituents under the republican banner for sometime to come. Lets not forget we are only talking about the house tonight. There is a whole flock of Senate Republicans that are have come out and very strongly denounced her role, said she should be removed from committees and so far as to say she should not be part of the Republican Party. This is a divide that maybe tonight theyre showing somewhat of a unified force. But this is a lingering problem that is going to continue to exist as republicans try and forge their way through this process. A lot of it comes down to winning elections, right . It tends to be that you can win an election as a primary candidate when you run close to president donald trump. We are now starting to see a consistent pattern outside of those strong Republican House districts that are drawn in a way that have more Re
There was none of that for congresswoman Marjorie Taylor green who for years has spread lies and conspiracies rooted in bigotry. Greenes no longer the outlier in her party and the pervasive spread of lies, much of it on social media, has trickled down to exploit fears. When President Biden was sworn in i was just crying. I mean, i couldnt stop. It was that ugly cry that you do, just kept going. I was like, oh, my gosh, im seeing the funeral of our country. I went into panic mode. I called my mom and i told her, were all going to die. Were going to be owned by china. I might have to pull my daughter o you the of school because theyre going to take her. I was scared to death. Thats someone who does not believe the lies anymore but she wasnt forced to confront reality until trump left office. The spreads of qanon and likeminded conspiracy groups have left those outside the party looking in. So today republicans will have to go on record about what kind of party they want to have. More fro
Thank you so much, and welcome to the beat. Im ari melber. Tonight washington and the nation are honoring Capitol Hill Police officer brian sicknick. Laid to rest in Arlington National cemetery after dying defending the capital. And many say democracy itself. Lying in the Capitol Rotunda is an honor usually reserved for former officials. He is only the fifth private citizen to be honored this way, joining people like rosa parks. Against the backdrop of these solemn ceremonies is the fallout over the lies and Conspiracy Theories that powered the resurrection. Republicans vowing to sustain pressure and holding a meeting to discuss potential sanctions for Marjorie Taylor greene whose trafficked in hate, lies and antisemitism before she entered congress. The socalled plane that crashed into the pentagon, its odd there is never any evidence shown for a plane in the pentagon. Barack obamas presidency. Okay. Lets keep going. Lets keep talking about whatever happened. Yes, i do believe he is a
Alone and leaving republicans behind . Lets go out front. Good evening, im erin burnett. Out front tonight the breaking news. Kevin mccarthy with qanon supporter Marjorie Taylorgreene and could determine the future of the Republican Party in the United States. Because tonight the Republican Party is totally at odds over whether it will embrace qanon Conspiracy Theories as the core of the party and rhetoric like this from Marjorie Taylorgreene from 2019 thats just coming to light, will they embrace whats seen in this video uncovered by twitter user zedster . If we have a sea of people, if we shut down the streets, if we shut down everything, if we flood the capitol building, flood all of the government buildings, go inside. These are public buildings. We own them. We own these buildings. Do you understand that . We own the buildings and we pay the people who work in the buildings. Flood the capitol, flood the government buildings, we own the buildings. Sounds now so sinister, right . No
Last night. Meantime, cnn has learned investigators are struggling to bring officer sicknicks kill tore justice. Cnn security correspondent Josh Campbell is starting us off this morning in washington. Josh, so remarkable to be back at the scene, just a month after officer sicknicks death. Reporter thats right. Laura. And this was the Scene Of The Crime, this was the same building that former officer sicknick protected for over a decade inside at various time with the Capitol Police. A solemn ceremony as you mentioned last night, a hearse arrived at the east steps of the capitol carrying the remains of the fallen officer. Once inside the rotunda, two officers escorted his remains and an American Flag into a table at the center. We saw members of congress and his former colleagues with the Capitol Police file in, paying their respects. A very solemn, a very quiet moment, again, for this fallen officer. Now, we got word just before 10 00 p. M. Last night that the president s motorcade had
