these are people who don t want votes to count, if the votes are against trump, trump would have overthrown the election, if he could have. trump seeks to do that again in the future. those secretaries of state they want to elect will do that again in the future. mccarthy, if he is the speaker of the house, will support that in the future. and so, we re at a critical moment here. and i think the most important thing we can do is set aside the impression that anyone story gives, and focus on the pattern. and the pattern here is that we are at a turning point in american history. and if we don t stand up, vote, call these people out in every turn, we could lose things that we thought would never, ever be at risk, including the right to vote, the right wing, the rule of law on the united states,
training, it s time we did that again, stop fighting about history lessons in our schools, and loved books are children already, and hope the reading a lot more of them and that we all understand how this works. because this is fundamental right now to our democracy. david, obama going down a president oh, former president obama one of the greatest orders of the modern era and he acknowledges that he should ve recognized the extent of the problem sooner he referenced the 2016 election as a major turning point, but it actually goes back longer than that. i mean in my opinion it goes back to thousand 11 when you had trump spreading the conspiracy, is that not so? it goes back further than that. it goes back to the clinton administration when technology companies were given a set of rights that absolve them of responsibility for being the media companies that they were, and then four year, after year, after year as they gain power.

canotoa, wisconsin, the state a neoperty won by a near 23,000 votes, steve lawless said mr. trump deserves what he gets. i don t think he s been a good president. i think he has broken a lot of laws. he broke a lot of laws before he was president. yeah, i m all for it. reporter: but at p.j. s cafe in dallas, tv monitors told an impeachment story almost no one was buying. the comicrats trying to overthrow a dual elected president we put in office rtarmts reporter: the responses confirmed that stubborn partisanship is cleaving the country. the latest cbs news polling shows 42% favor the property s ilmoval while 42% do not. in san francisco. i don t think anybody s mind is being changed because of the proceedings. reporter: in miami, some said the day was one for the books. i think it is a great turning point in american history, and a
