But until tonight, we did not know how extensive Donald Trumps efforts were. According to the Washington Post, president Donald Trump called his actingAttorney General nearlyevery day, at The End of last year, to alert him to claims of Voter Fraud or allegedimproper vote counts in the 2020 election. End quote. In those calls, the Post Report that Donald Trump raised various allegations of Voter Fraud that he had heard about. And asked what the Justice Department was doing about it. Here is the kicker. These calls did not just stay phone calls. There is a paper trail. Quote, Attorney General rosen told few people about the phone calls, even in his inner circle.

Leader mccarthy says its against the science. When all in starts right now. Good evening from New York. Im chris hayes. First off the bat, some breaking news. There appears to be a deal, a big bipartisan Infrastructure Deal, believe it or not. A few hours ago a group of 21 senators announced it. It came a bit as surprise. Earlier this week it seemed like the deal was likely dead. It appears thats no longer the case. The huge 1. 2 trillion deal appears to be happening. In fact, we will have secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg on to talk about it. He has been an advocate for that piece of ledgevation. The expresident furious. He is screaming into the darkness about how republicans are getting played, though crucially never offers a single substantive critique to the content. Of course,
Breaking news, a big deal bipartisan Infrastructure Deal believe it or not, a few hours, ago a group of 21 senators announced it. It came as a bit of a surprise, and earlier this week it said like sounded like said deal was likely dead. It appears that is no longer the case on the huge 1. 8 trillion Dollar Bill or deal seems to be happening. We will get Pete Buttigieg to talk about it hes been a big one for wanting that to happen. Screaming into the darkness about how republicans are being played but never offers critique to the difference. Everything is someone winning, losing, someone is getting screwed and someone is doing the screwing. It is a cold, very sad, cynical way to view the world, but its also come to dominate the entire republican movement. Its the transgressive thrill of being a jerk, being cruel, mocking people and deriving them when they are in pain or suffering, or having a problem. The thing is, everyone in life and countless people who are jerks, might be a coworker

Five years now, tried to tell Paul Ryan, off and on air, before he endorsed Donald Trump the day or two after he called him a racist, that hes a bully and you dont you dont negotiate with bullies. And you dont grovel, because when you grovel with bullies, they spit in your face. And thats whats happened time and time again with republicans. And, you know, again, all this groveling what has it gotten the republican party . Minority status in the senate, the house, theyve lost the White House. They now seem to be their two main planks right now seem to be voodoo when it comes to Health Care, letting people die. Theyre on the side with wild antivaxx conspiracy theorists. And then basically forgiving the violence of what happened on January The 6th. Trying to forget the violence, ignore the insurrection. So voodoo and violence. Thats really not something that a party wants to side up with. But, mika, again, though, on this personal front, you cannot Suck Up to a bully. It never works. It d
