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
Actually lead to increased mortality. And the jury is still out how these vaccines are going to work against these variants. Reporter this is new day, with Alisyn Camerota and john berman. Welcome to our viewers in the United States and all around the world. This is new day. Its thursday, february 4 tth, 6 00 here in new york. A moment of revelation for the Republican Party overnight. Days ago, it was mitt romney who said, our big tent is not large enough to accommodate conservatives and kooks. Days ago, it was Mitch Mcconnell who said, loony lies and Conspiracy Theories are a cancer for the Republican Party. But last night, it was Kevin Mccarthy, the House Republican leader who said, essentially, hold my beer. No action against Marjorie Taylor greene, the qanonsupporting House Republican who endorsed the execution of democratic leaders, harassed School Shooting victims, called Mass Shootings a hoax, reportedly trafficked in antisemitic propaganda about jewish space lasers. No action.
This. Republican leader Kevin Mccarthy made the claim overnight he doesnt even know what the Conspiracy Group qanon is. He might want to check the tape from january 6th. Some of them invaded his office. Or do a oneminute google search. Meanwhile, liz cheney got an earful from her gop colleagues but she survived an attempt to remove her from leadership because she dared to vote former President Trump for inciting that deadly insurrection. The final vote was 14561. And it was conducted in a Secret Ballot, meaning the republicans who stood behind her can remain anonymous. Joining me now is republican congressman Adam Kinzinger, an outspoken supporter of liz cheney. Outspoken in the suggestion that Marjorie Taylor greene should lose her Committee Posts. Congressman kinzinger, thanks for being with us. You had a heck of a night last night. How would you describe what happened . So, i want to put this up front. I dont reveal details from conference because but what ill tell you last night wa
Viewers in the United States and all Around The World. This is new day. And House Democrats today plan to strip Marjorie Taylor greene of her Committee Assignments. The vote will force republicans to go on the record to either publicly support or rebuke this controversial qanon supporter in their midst. There was a highstakes meeting of House Republicans last night and Minority Leader Kevin Mccarthy declined to take any action against greene, though she has never publicly apologized or recanted for supporting the execution of top democrats, shes never backed down from any of her violent rhetoric. But it was liz cheney whose fate was uncertain last night. The number three republican managed to keep her spot in leadership surviving calls to oust her for voting to impeach donald trump. Overnight, the House Republican leader Kevin Mccarthy also claimed that he did not know what qanon is. You might want to ask Kevin Mccarthy, who knew exactly what it was in august. You could also ask his po
Things that i just told you i cared about, and i want you to know, a lot of americans dont trust our government and thats sad. The problem with that is, though, is i was allowed to believe things that werent true and i would ask questions about them and talk about them and that is absolutely what i regret. Regret. Its about the closest youre going to hear for anything that even comes close to an apology. There was no apology. We have a lot to unpack from those remarks. As you can see there, congresswoman greene basically tried to portray herself more as a victim, not as a perpetrator of all this nonsense and she tried to distance herself from past support of qanon conspiracy theories, drawing a line around the year 2018 and compartmentalizing things there and saying that was a different person. The house is debating ahead of that vote this afternoon to strip congresswoman greene of her two Committee Assignments. A vote putting every member on the record about where they stand on greene
