Good evening and welcome to politicsnation. Tonights lead, a nation divided, struggling to stand. Today marks one month since an angry insurrectionist mob stormed the u. S. Capitol. The broken glass and busted doors is been repaired. The political fractures remain. A few republicans voted to revogs the Committee Assignments of georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene, a freshman lawmaker who has traffics in the same Conspiracy Theories and racist tropes that drove the january 6th rioters. Greene has shown support for executing Speaker Nancy Pelosi and has behaved so towards her coworkers that one asked to have her office moved away from greene. When given the chance to deal with greene privately ended up giving her a standing ovation. Neck Week Senate Republicans will get their own chance to show they learned something from the events of january 6th when they begin the second Impeachment Trial for former president donald trump. Ill keep my expectations low. President joe biden to h
Is also poised to go on trial. Many advisers to President Biden say what were seeing tonight in these duelling stories is verification, a validation of his view that the government and the congress can do more than one thing. Now President Biden is talking up this new relief plan. It passed this key vote in the senate. It passed in the house. It is on its way. Take a look. If i have to choose between getting help right now to americans who are hurting so badly and getting bogged down in a lengthy negotiation or compromising on a bill thats up to the crisis, thats an easy choice. Im going to act fast. Act fast. And the major breakthrough here came with an assist from the person you see right there, an allnight Senate Debate followed by Vice President Harris Casting her first ever tiebreaking vote. This occurred after 5 30 a. M. This morning. The Vice President votes in the affirmative and the concurrent resolution as amended is adopted. Heres what you need to know. This is the blueprint
Joining us to start this off, monica alba, across the street from the white house, and nbc news correspondent Garrett Haake on capitol hill. Lets begin with you. Amid the new controversies and calls for Resignations Swirling around Marjorie Taylor greene, weve just learned that missouri Congresswoman Corey Bush moved her office after she said greene berated her and her staff in a hallway. How long can leaders ignore these issues being brought up by Marjorie Taylor greem . Yeah. A pretty disturbing report there. Marjorie Taylor Greene has responded with a video that she claims is of the incident. A selfie style video in which she can be heard yelling back and forthwith someone who we dont see on camera. So its not entirely clear whats going on here. The lack of response from Republican Leadership is the thing to watch. The resolutions about censure or expulsion. Other things that have been raised in discussions of miss greene are not going to go anywhere unless Republican Leadership dec

Congresswoman Majorie Taylor greene fresh off getting booted from her House Committees sounding a whole lot different today than the Majorie Taylor greene we heard yesterday when she was trying to save her place on those committees, saying 9 11 absolutely did happen and School Shootings were absolutely real. Note, though
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
