good evening from washington. i m michael steele in for chris hayes and there s a lot to get to tonight. including some really big developments in the many criminal investigations into donald trump, but i need to start with a question for today s republican party. what the hell is wrong with you? today s house maga republicans took an official party leadership sanctions field trip to visit the january six insurrectionists who they call political prisoners. this is just one step and exposing what s going on, making sure that we have the right information and really listening to our constituents. we hear about the jails regularly when we go back home and the american people are very concerned about some of the folks who are here. so we re listening to them and hear on their behalf. congresswoman, i hate to break it to you, but you don t have the right information. if you think the american people want you to waste your energy on the violent insurrectionists mob. in fact,
because wasn t being taught insanity. i don t do wineries so you can find but mona, let s bring this out a little bit. and they talked about coming into the idea of using this as a tool to elevate up the santa -ism, what are your thoughts? there is this something that the donors think that they are being sneaky picky with, or what? don t you have a little ptsd here? it s like 2016, where the establishment people are saying, well, we can t have trump, so we re going to get behind jeb bush or scott walker or somebody. and i m afraid that because there are so many establishment types who are saying that the desantis s are the only hope to save us from trump, the trump is going to be able to use that effectively against desantis and say you are the establishment figure. i m insurgents again. even though he is president of the united states.
