regimes get started. they get started by a demagogue, an authoritarian basically demanding fealty, and not just to himself but to his version of reality. we saw that start on the afternoon of the inauguration where, you know, alternative facts about the size of the crowd became the argument the white house was making to overlook the fact that there wasn t that big a crowd, and it continues to today where people who you would think not only know better but would want to do better are siding with this outrageous and i believe probably illegal use of classified material. so it s a mystery to me, but it is a dangerous mystery that you have the republican party still enabling the fantasies and the power-rungry dreams of the former president. that was former secretary of state and former presidential candidate hillary clinton speaking with us last hour on morning joe about the case against donald trump and the hypocrisy of how republicans reacted to her emails versus his allege
