this wednesday morning. morning joe starts right now. i think, you know, any patient that or elderly individual or someone who has dementia, they can find some moments of clarity, right? they can find moments throughout the day that they have energy and look. i think that trump s team should not underestimate joe biden and his team s ability to, you know whether they are going to jack him up on mountain dew or whatever it is, that, look. the state of the union this year he had a lot of energy for about an hour and/or an hour and a half, but it doesn t mean, you know, what we are seeing is, obviously, throughout the day, he can t carry that level of energy. what is so amazing about that, willie, is that that jacked up mountain dew did not come from some guy they picked up off the street, right? that was, like, rolling dice against the side of a wall or something. i m sitting there halfway going, who is this guy? he is an elected member of congress. sure. who is
last night, he quite literally embraced one of the rioters who spent 160 days in prison for her actions that day. trump told her to hang in there and that they were going to be okay. so sorry what they did to january 6th, so bad. patriots. turns out that terrific woman is a qanon supporter who told nbc s vaughn hillyard last year she wants members of congress as well as former vice president mike pence to be executed for treason. those were domestic terrorists inside our capitol, and i m going to prove it on my trial. who were the domestic terrorists? our congress. our congress that has been stealing elections for a very long time. our country has been under admiralty loss since 1871. what should the punishment be? execution for being traitors. that s what our constitution
january 6th. all five including the group s former leader enrique tarrio are charged with seditious conspiracy. this is a group that donald trump told to stand back and stand by in the 2020 campaign. along with other far right groups like the oath keepers, the proud boys descended on the nation s capitol, heeding trump s call for what he promised was going to be a wild time. the jury is expected to continue its deliberations on monday. and while the republican party would like nothing more than to be able to move beyond the insurrection, the party s standard bearer is making that all but impossible. as he continues to make litigating the 2020 election and the big lie the main component of his 2024 campaign. trump yet again pushed those debunked conspiracy theories last night at a campaign stop in new hampshire. but probably more problematic for republican party leaders is his continued embrace of the january 6th insurrectionists themselves.
