into hiding. do my republican colleagues remember that day? do my republican colleagues remember the savage mob calling for the execution of mike pence? the makeshift gallows outside the capitol? well, they remember and it s not like there is nothing more to be learned. just today, a cnn review of court records and pentagon documents revealed that one-in-ten people charged in the insurrection are veterans or current-service members. a quarter of those defendants have connections to right-wing extremist groups. so, how deep do those extremists and insurrectionists ties reach into the ranks? it s a troubling question we still don t know. but also, the threat to democracy, which, clearly, still exists. so what could be more frightening to these senators than that? well, minority leader mitch mcconnell, who lobbied hard against the bill, said nothing on the floor today. however, alaska senator lisa murkowski, one of six republicans who voted yes, spoke to the question late-l
what happened. instead of face the facts. most, these are republicans we re talking about, are trying to pretend none of this really happened or nothing was as it seemed or these were tourists, antifa, or anyone but supporters of the former president, which is what they were. some, these 21 house republicans, would not even vote to honor the same police officers you re about to see putting their lives on the line to protect them. and on the senate side, every single republican voted to block a bipartisan commission to investigate what was, after all, the worst attack on american democracy by americans since the civil war. we ve been reporting on that element of the story for months and we will continue to. we ll continue to show you the raw video whenever we get access to it because in the end nothing speaks to the truth of january 6th better than what police saw and heard on the ground that day. first though we want to actually, i should say before we play you an extended
and on the senate side, every single republican voted to block a bipartisan commission to investigate what was, after all, the worst attack on american democracy by americans since the civil war. we have been reporting on that element of a story for months and we will continue to. we ll continue to show you the raw video, whenever we get access to it. because, in the end, nothing speaks to the truth of january every better than what police saw and heard on the ground that day. first, though, we want to actually, i should say, before we play you an extended sample of this new video. do want to give the usual warnings about language and content. usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! new video of the attack, as it really happened. in a moment, we will talk about it with the mother of the late officer, brian sicknick, as well as his life partner. it s a reality that so many l lawmakers simply do not want to confront. today, a senior-federal judge called them on it. we should point out th
the former-vice president certainly understands that, or he should. and after today, especially. before we show you what happened to him today, here is a quick refresh of what happened to him on january 6th. take a look. it s images of him, authorities rushing him to a secure area. his family is with him, too, being rushed to safety. and outside, there was that makeshift gallows. and from some of the insurrectionists, chants of hang mike pence. hang mike pence! hang mike pence! hang mike pence! okay. so, that was more than five months ago and today, a reminder for many supporters of the former president, none of that anger has gone away. mike pence appeared at what was billed as the faith and freedom coalition summit today. and in years past, it s kind of the audience who would have welcomed him. today, he did get applause. but he, also, was booed and people continually interrupted his scripted remarks screaming out the word traitor. it is great to be back with so m
of the ice cream industry to, i don t know, promote ice cream or something. this is not a joke. this actually happened. there was a sundae building contest. the guy on the 11th went on to be trump s national intention, building the best ice cream sundae. this ice cream social for elected adults, it was one particular senator s dream come true. double mint ice cream. all right. a little hard to hear but let s freeze it here. this is perhaps the most joe biden thing i ve ever seen. delaware senator joe biden at an event on the hill, gently ribbing his senate colleague before absolutely going to town on an ice cream cone. he s been a senator, a vice president and now a president himself. there is been a lot of change in his political career over the years, but the one constant is that joe biden really, really loves ice cream. he talks about it literally all the time. he visited the headquarters of an ice cream company when he was vice president. em, i eat more ice cream than
