Lets go straight to capitol hill, our congressional correspondent, ryan nobles is watching all this unfold. We have heard a lot of powerful debate going back and forth on representative greene. So explain to our viewers where things stand right now, ryan. At this moment, wolf, were just awaiting the vote on the house floor that will determine the fate of Marjorie Taylor greene. This is a vote of the entire house. A simple majority will be enough to remove her from both the education and Labor Committee as well as the budget committee. And this vote comes after a lengthy amount of debate from both republicans and democrats, making their case as to why she should stay on those committees and why from the democrats perspective, Sheh Hshould Beple off those committees. The most dramatic moment happened just a few moments ago where the House Majority leader steny hoyer came to the house floor with a big picture of a tweet that was once set out by Marjorie Taylor greene. Listen to what he ha
Conscience not her fealty to trump. 60 out of that number. One vote was present. We have manu raju on capitol hill. An historic vote. There was a lot of talk. The feel of it was as you were reporting earlier that cheney might lose. She went behind the scenes for several weeks in the aftermath of the vote to impeach donald trump, talking to members trying to get them on their side explaining her vote. It appears to have paid off. She was listening to the concerns and did not back away from her vote. In fact today she said she does not regret voting to impeach donald trump. She made that clear to her conference but there were an outspoken contingent of members who came after her very aggressively through the course of this more than fourhour closed door meeting. At the end of the day the members decided it is more important to unite at this moment than engage themselves in a divisive leadership fight and the ouster of the highest ranking republican woman in leadership. Now, at the same t
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.
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
