risk. good evening from studio b in new orleans. site of tonight s national day of racial healing town hall, which i will be hosting tonight at 10:00 p.m. eastern along with chris hayes and trymaine lee. i ll tell you much more about that a little later. we begin tonight with the real life confluence of a toxic stew of election denial, extremism, and political violence. the type of nightmare scenario that is all too real in america. police in new mexico arrested failed republican legislative candidate solomon pena, who they say orchestrated a string of shootings targeting democratic officials in the state. last november, pena lost to his democratic opponent in a landslide, by nearly 50 points. but claimed he really lost because of so-called fraud. apparently he s both an election denier and a sore loser. after the election, a very stable pena wrote on twitter, i dissent. i am the maga king. he later posted a photo of himself in maga gear, noting much like donald trump ....
