an attempted authoritarian coup. that is submitting false electors to washington, d.c. to certify donald trump and not joe biden and ultimately unleashing the violence we saw on january 6th. all of this reporting that continues to come out actually supports this was a very complex attempt at a coup that involved multiple elements and this is where not only the emphasis of the january 6 commission in congress is so important but the investigative authority of the attorney general himself >> i want to turn to what is happening with the republican party and this rnc resolution. "the washington post" reports that former president donald trump called rnc chairwoman rona mcdaniel on saturday to congratulate on the resolution. so the resolution seems to have put basically every republican in congress in a pretty uncomfortable spot. you have kevin mccarthy literally running from a reporter. i guess he decided he couldn't out run garrett haake. he is very tall. meanwhile the former president is happy and calling the head of the rnc to congratulate her.
