American hostages being held in gaza. That the president or any other leaders would refer to people that are moving through our Justice System as hostages. Its just unacceptable. I was there on january 6th. I have no doubt in my mind, margaret, that some people were caught up in the moment and entered the capitol, and theyre entitled to Due Process Of Law for any nonviolent activities that day. But the assaults on Police Officers, ultimately an environment that claimed lives, is something that i think was tragic that day. Ill never diminish it. Mike pence once again taking a stand against his former boss. He also refused to endorse trump for president. Those comments from donald trump came during a stump speech for a Senate Candidate in ohio. Trump was more focused on his personal grievances, giving more incendiary remarks. Meanwhile, the former president has so far refused to condemn Vladimir Putin for the death of Alexei Navalny. But for the first time publicly, putin addressed the d
Fascist dictatorship, and so bill barr, after, ive got to say, humiliating himself for several years, bill barr decides, this is where i get off. This is enough. This is my line. I believe in an imperial presidency, but i dont believe in a fascist presidency. Thats what donald trump was asking him to do. Asking him to steal an election. Asking him to arrest his political opponents. Asking him to do the sort of things, again, that fascist dictators do. He wouldnt do it. Now, trump has turned on him. As far as fani willis goes and jack smith and everything else, again, we can point you back to it and play it for you again, what we were saying in 2019. If donald trump lost in 2020, he would run again, and hed run again simply to avoid all the crimes he was committing. Im not good at math, but that was four years ago. Four years ago, we were saying he will run again so he can try to avoid jail. Going to jail. Here we are. I must say, a lot of people were saying that, so its hard to believe
Little january 6th insurrection. The highest court in the land today kept him on the ballot in a ruling a dodges the facts of january 6th and trumps role in it. Instead, the Supreme Court handed trump a second gift on a constitutional technicality. The justices say that states do not have the power to bar candidates from running for federal office. They say, quote, because the constitution makes Congress Rather than the states responsible for enforcing section 3 against federal Office Holders and candidates, we reverse. Theyre referring to the decision by the Colorado State Supreme Court. Now, that court found that trump did engage in insurrection by trying to overturn the will of the voters by any means possible, including violence, and that section 3 of the 14th Amendment does, in fact, apply to the presidency. Now, the Supreme Courts decision today does not touch on either the question of whether trump is or is not an insurrectionist, or whether the text of section 3 applies to him.
