Qanon rhetoric and violent conspiracies. According to politico this morning, greene showed no remorse for extreme positions, which included past support for assassination of top democratic officials. Politico also reports that Kevin Mccarthy and his top lieutenants are leaning towards removing green from one key house committee, not two. Is that enough . The future of powerful House Republican liz cheney also on the line after she had the audacity to vote her conscience in favor of impeaching trump for that capitol hill insurrection. But cnns Josh Campbell starts us off. Hes live in washington with more on officer sicknick lying in office. We take you live inside those images of the United States Capitol Rotunda, where the remains of fallen officer Brian Sicknick are lying in honor. Swe we have seen members of the Capitol Police coming in to pay their respects, also members of the national guard. Also lawmakers and staffers. That building remains closed to the general public that due t
Were following all those headlines. And this. While democrats are moving forward without republicans to get americans covid relief aid, the white house is ramping up vaccine efforts. The new plan, send Vaccine Doses to community pharmacies. Its an allout push to get ahead of more fastmoving variants. But first, we begin on capitol hill. Lauren fox is tracking the republican rift between trump loyalists, longstanding conservatives. Lauren, where do we stand . You have two politicians fate at stake here. Marjorie taylor greene, but also liz cheneys leadership position. Thats exactly right, jim. Last night, we should note, Kevin Mccarthy, the minority leader in the House Of Representatives sat down for an hourslong meeting with Marjorie Taylor greene to talk about her future. We are told that the minority leader is still undecided about whether or not she will keep her post. But essentially we are learning from that meeting that Marjorie Taylor greene did not apologize for the past statem
Education and Budget Committee assignments that she holds. Moments ago democrats said this about House Minority leader Kevin Mccarthy. Why would Kevin Mccarthy continue to associate himself and the republican conference with someone who leader Mitch Mcconnell has characterized as a cancer . The last time i checked, cancers need to be cut out and not allowed to metastasize. And Kevin Mccarthy has the ability to do the right thing he should. But greene will not be the only urgent topic the republicans will need to address when they meet here in a few hours. Wyoming congresswoman liz cheney is on the fence of being ousted for voting to impeach former President Trump in his second impeachment. She has been shoring up support behind the scenes. That includes from Senate Republican leader Mitch Mcconnell. Republicans are facing a critical reckoning. Will they encourage, quoting one gop senator, the coux of their party or those who vote their conscience like liz cheney or try to get away with
He also founded craigslist, the online Bulletin Board where i sell my discarded swimwear. Last night, tucker revealed the study was in fact no study at all. Can we get some numbers on that, and why you . No, actually, we cant. In the words of the study, pinning down precise proportions of censorship is impossible because twitter doesnt release sufficient data. Are you following the reasoning here . Their conclusion, twitter is not biased and we can be certain its not biased because twitter refuses to release the data on who it bands. Greg in other words, a fake study for a guy who claims he doesnt like fake news. It was designed for the media so they wouldnt have to do their jobs and investigate the actual claims, but the research is about as a researchy as turning on the lights to your living room to assess the existence of whales. Yep, no whales there. Really, having a Big Tech Lib Fund A Study On Whether big tech is biased, thats like me finding a study on how great i am, or a study
To that and how they will defend him. Weve got a lot to get to. Lets go to our colleague lauren fox on capitol hill. Good morning to you, lauren. So at least the optics were of progress in the oval office yesterday. Susan collins leading that meeting with the president. But was there substantive progress . Well, sure. I think republicans felt it was a good meeting, a Good Opportunity to speak directly with the president about what their hopes are for their own covid relief package. But, look, democrats are charging forward with their plan to use that budgetary tactic to go ahead and pass that 1. 9 trillion bill with just democratic votes. They are arguing essentially that republicans are willing, if they are willing, they are allowed to come forward and vote for this process. They are welcome to be a part of it, but they are saying they need to be bold, they need to go bold and you saw that yesterday reflected in the statement from the White House Press secretary after that meeting had
