RUSH TRANSCRIPT Assassinate A ░░░░░░░░ C There have been ░░░░░░░░ Hakeem Jeffries was on ░░░░░░░░ program last night talking ░░░░░░░░ his family member receiving ░░░░░░░░ saying we re coming ░░░░░░░░ you we re outside ░░░░░░░░ house How do you ░░░░░░░░ the nature of the ░░░░░░░░ of the Republican Party ░░░░░░░░ you serve with right ░░░░░░░░ in the aftermath of ░░░░░░░░ and the vote they ░░░░░░░░ to overturn the election ░░░░░░░░ this desire to quote ░░░░░░░░ the page Yeah you ░░░░░░░░ I actually sense a ░░░░░░░░ difference between the Republican ░░░░░░░░ of last term the ░░░░░░░░ Congress and the Republican ░░░░░░░░ that of this term ░░░░░░░░ we are now what ░░░░░░░░ few weeks into at ░░░░░░░░ point And that difference ░░░░░░░░ that it really felt ░░░░░░░░ last term the Republican ░░░░░░░░ was one of extreme ░░░░░░░░ to Donald Trump There ░░░░░░░░ some that were true ░░░░░░░░ Others that simply remained ░░░░░░░░ out of cowardice and ░░░░░░░░ of fear of the ░░░░░░░░ s retribution But this ░░░░░░░░ there are legitimate white ░░░░░░░░ sympathizers that sit at ░░░░░░░░ heart and at the ░░░░░░░░ of the Republican caucus ░░░░░░░░ the House of Representatives ░░░░░░░░ when you see someone ░░░░░░░░ the house minority leader ░░░░░░░░ McCarthy of the Republican ░░░░░░░░ respond to white supremacists ░░░░░░░░ coming from his own ░░░░░░░░ not with censure like ░░░░░░░░ did with representative Steve ░░░░░░░░ of Iowa not with ░░░░░░░░ know being stripped of ░░░░░░░░ not with any consequence ░░░░░░░░ have to wonder where ░░░░░░░░ actually has that power ░░░░░░░░ it increasingly seems unfortunately ░░░░░░░░ in the House Republican ░░░░░░░░ Kevin McCarthy answers to ░░░░░░░░ qanon members of Congress ░░░░░░░░ the other way around ░░░░░░░░ that is something that ░░░░░░░░ needs to be said ░░░░░░░░ said he was going ░░░░░░░░ pull representative Marjorie tiller ░░░░░░░░ aside after you know ░░░░░░░░ comments to parkland activists ░░░░░░░░ comments saying that Muslim ░░░░░░░░ should not fully and ░░░░░░░░ serve in the house ░░░░░░░░ they must be forced ░░░░░░░░ swear on a bible ░░░░░░░░ cetera But I ve ░░░░░░░░ Kevin McCarthy pull someone ░░░░░░░░ before for a talking ░░░░░░░░ And that representative that ░░░░░░░░ law saw him do ░░░░░░░░ to was representative Ted ░░░░░░░░ of Florida And what ░░░░░░░░ McCarthy did was that ░░░░░░░░ pulled him aside to ░░░░░░░░ excuse his behavior to ░░░░░░░░ it and to abet ░░░░░░░░ And actually Kevin McCarthy ░░░░░░░░ lack of holding his ░░░░░░░░ caucus accountable is one ░░░░░░░░ reason why I went ░░░░░░░░ the floor last year ░░░░░░░░ hold Yoho accountable myself ░░░░░░░░ so when I hear ░░░░░░░░ representative McCarthy is going ░░░░░░░░ pull a member aside ░░░░░░░░ has made white supremacist ░░░░░░░░ comments the thing that ░░░░░░░░ think is what is ░░░░░░░░ going to tell them ░░░░░░░░ it up Because there ░░░░░░░░ no consequence in the ░░░░░░░░ caucus for violence There ░░░░░░░░ no consequence for racism ░░░░░░░░ consequence for misogyny No ░░░░░░░░ for insurrection And no ░░░░░░░░ means that they condone ░░░░░░░░ It means that that ░░░░░░░░ is acceptance and they ░░░░░░░░ it because they know ░░░░░░░░ it is a core ░░░░░░░░ political energy for them ░░░░░░░░ this is extremely dangerous ░░░░░░░░ extremely dangerous threshold we ░░░░░░░░ crossed because we are ░░░░░░░░ away from acting out ░░░░░░░░ fealty to their president ░░░░░░░░ they had in the ░░░░░░░░ Office and now we ░░░░░░░░ talking about fealty to ░░░░░░░░ supremacist organizations as a ░░░░░░░░ tool And for you ░░░░░░░░ Republicans that are in ░░░░░░░░ caucus that are unwilling ░░░░░░░░ hold that accountable or ░░░░░░░░ distance themselves from it ░░░░░░░░ really really need to ░░░░░░░░ ourselves what they are ░░░░░░░░ into Yeah Because this ░░░░░░░░ no longer about a ░░░░░░░░ of limited government This ░░░░░░░░ about something much more ░░░░░░░░ Alexandria Ocasio Cortez Democrat ░░░░░░░░ New York City who ░░░░░░░░ in part my home ░░░░░░░░ of The Bronx It ░░░░░░░░ always good to have ░░░░░░░░ on Thank you so ░░░░░░░░ congresswoman Of course Thank ░░░░░░░░
