So, silence is not an option. To be clear, when it comes to cheneys ousting, writing was on the wall. Shock, to no one, as the gop has fought for months, internally, over tying itself to trump. What happened isnt a revelation. This week was a cementing of who the gop is. And now, more than 100 prominent republicans have signed on to an effort to create a Third Party if the gop does not change course. A great statement. But does it stand a chance of becoming a movement . Joining me, Msnbc Contributor and Washington Post Opinion writer, jennifer rubin.

Over tying itself to trump. What happened this week was a cementing of who the gop is. And now more than 100 prominent republicans have signed onto an effort to create a Third Party if the gop does not change course. A great statement, but does it stand a chance of becoming a movement . Joining me, Msnbc Contributor and Washington Post Opinion writer, jennifer reuben, elise jordan, msnbc political analyst and former aide to the Bush Cheney white House And State departments, and megan malloy, foundering of republican women for progress.

Her offense is telling the truth and unlike many of her colleagues, refusing to peddle trumps big lie that the election was stolen. On the house floor last night, she said that silence is not an option. Every one of us who has sworn the oath must act to prevent the unraveling of our democracy.

Today we face a threat america has never seen before. A former president who provoked a violent attack on this capitol in an effort to steal the election has resumed his aggressive effort to convince americans that the election was stolen from him. He risks inciting further violence. House republicans are expected to replace cheney with new york congresswoman Elise Stefanik. She has emerged as one of former President Trumps top defenders.

Now this all comes as former Top Trump Administration officials are set to deliver critical testimony next hour to congress in defense of their handling of the capitol insurrection. Of course, led by protrump extremists. Whats notable, this is the first hearing with thenhigh ranking Government Officials who were directly involved in that response to the insurrection outside of fbi director Christopher Wray who has previously testified. There are so
