The head of the National Institutes Of Health joins me live to talk about the need for Booster Shots, and whats the best way to get people to take the vaccine . The carrot or the stick . Well discuss when All In starts right now. Good evening from washington, d. C. Im Mehdi Hasan in for chris hayes. One of the many enduring haunting images from January 6th is this scene moments before Ashli Babbitt was shot and killed. She and a group of rioters tried to break through this set of doors, leading into the Speakers Lobby just outside the house chamber. Where members of congress were gathered. They demand the officers guarding the doorstep aside, and eventually managed to smash the glass windows. Now, nearly all of the rioters you see here have been charged with crimes. For example, 39yearold Christopher greater pictured here In The Red Hat with the yellow dont tread on my flag tied around his neck allegedly tried to push open and kick the Lobby Doors. He was indicted in january on seven c
President lionizing ashli babbitt as a martyr, as an innocent victim of police violence. yet as you argued on twitter today, quote, donald trump killed ashli babbitt. yes, mehdi, i thank you for having me, first off. but the actions that happened that day were not in a vacuum. they were not out of nowhere. they were motivated, they were directed, they were pushed, they were told where to go and what to do. by donald trump. they were allowed to live in this conspiracy bubble that fox news which is their main source of information provided them, which told the big lie over and over again. they lived in this facebook environment where facebook never moderated the fact they were being told that lizard aliens control america and that if they don t do this, they re all going to be enslaved and become mark marxists. this was a toxic mix that led her and people like her to the capitol. it is a tragedy she was killed, but let s look at where the responsibility rests. it s with the people that
That happened to the other side, there would be riots all over america, yet there are far more people represented by ashli who truly loved america than there are on the other side. the radical left haters cannot be allowed to get away with this. there must be justice. donald trump was impeached for inciting an insurrection on january 6th. and that statement is yet more incitement to violence, to terror. both against the officer who killed ashli babbitt, we know who he is, and in holding up babbitt as some type of hero. think about the message. if you die for the cause, am president will promote you as a great patriot. all in the service of donald trump s self-centered big lie that he actually won the election. this is the monster that the right has created over many years. donald trump is in many ways a product of it, of the anger and bigotry and conspiracism, and he took it all and he amplified it.
this is where we are now. deeply depressing. ruth and rick, thank you both for joining me tonight. thanks, mehdi. i want to bring in congresswoman sheila jackson lee, member of the house judiciary committee. thanks for coming on the show this evening. your leader, speaker nancy pelosi said in a statement, the donald trump threat against the officer who shot ashli babbitt is only the latest in a long line of vile republican attacks on the officers who defended the capitol. do you agree? what is your reaction to the trump statement? the speaker is right. we had a vile presidency, and so we re going to have a vile failed presidency, failed loss of someone who has not been willing to accept the democratic process. you know, mehdi, thank you, first of all, for having me. this requires a strong, determined, and aggressive response on the part of democrats who now remain in most parts except a few republicans,
