And one that cowers in fear of its apparently extremist base. The sad truth is that democrats in congress had to discipline Margie Q Greene because House Minority leader Kevin Mccarthy was unwilling to do so himself. Mccarthy was willing to hold a Secret Ballot on the fate of republican congresswoman liz cheney, his own third in command who received a resounding if anonymous show of support to remain in Republican Leadership last night but he couldnt muster the courage to reject the qanon congresswoman. With this vote tonight, house republicans, many of whom stood up and gave Greene A Standing Ovation in a caucus meeting yesterday will now be defined as supporting someone who backed calls for assassinating Speaker Nancy Pelosi and threatened the nonwhite Women Members of the squad in social media ads. She promoted an antisemetic and Islam Mow Phobic video that had been reportedly circulating among neonazis. It claimed a, quote, unholy alliance of leftists, capitalists and zionist supre

In washington where the white house launched a fullcourt press, a hard sell on the president s 1. 9 Trillion Covid Relief Plan facing criticism today even from a former obama official. Well have more on all of that for you in a moment. Meantime, over on capitol hill, some folks may be experiencing a case of whiplash. 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
Different as republican senators voted to acquit last time. Ben sass is squarely placing the blame on trump for the deadly capitol riot. As republicans like sass and Marjorie Taylor greene struggle for the partys identity after trump. Politics isnt about the weird worship of one dude. The party is his. It doesnt belong to anybody else. Were going to first begin our coverage with msnbc news correspondent kristen welker. Thank you for joining us. Lets talk about that jobs report not necessarily looking good the first month of january here. How is the president going to use this when it comes to his major Stimulus Bill . Hi, great to see you. Well, what we heard from President Biden today was essentially his strongest push yet for the passage of his covid19 relief bill. We saw him say in some of the strongest terms that he is prepared to go it alone without republicans signing on to his bill. Of course, he has always said yes, he wants bipartisan support but it seems increasingly likely t
Lets go outfront. Good evening, i am erin burnett. Outfront. Breaking news. House republicans meeting Behind Closed Doors to debate the fate of liz cheney after she voted to impeach trump. That meeting lasted more than two hours. As her fate is up in the air, one thing the minority leader Kevin Mccarthy made clear already tonight is that he is picking a side. Marjorie Taylor Greenes side, a side of Conspiracy Theories, too fringe for fringe. A woman who days ago said she still truly believes that the election was stolen and fraudulent. A qanon supporter. Mccarthys words tonight, past comments by Marjorie Taylor greene on school shootings, Political Violence, antisemitic Conspiracy Theories do not represent the values or beliefs of the republican conference. Well, that is clearly not true because mccarthys actions speak much louder than words, he is siding with greene. Nowhere in his statement does he mention pulling her from both committees. By the way, theyre plum committees, educatio
Amazing. That guy is really bringing great work. These are regular American People who are disaffected and frustrated. I remember seeing this with al qaeda. And the taliban. Now, they dont have the same literacy curve that we hear, the exposure, the information and all that, which makes it even worse that people can fall for it, but they can. They can be, like, i support trump, you support trump and these people are trying to get him and heres how. One step and another step. And now the Republican Party is saying to people in their ranks, its okay to listen to these guys. Yeah. Its okay. Yeah. Well, you are what you eat. And its im serious. I cant explain to you i dont even have the words to tell you just how outraged i am and how just infuriating and frustrating the level of hypocrisy is right now. Were not talking about were not talki ing about fire brands. Right . There are fire brands in the Republican Party. There are fire brands in the democratic party. They say things that are p
