Scott Jennings: Trump Did Not Act on Jan. 6 ‘to Preserve, Protect and Defend the Constitution’

SCIUTTO So I should ░░░░░░░░ for our viewers that ░░░░░░░░ as well as your ░░░░░░░░ boss McConnell have publicly ░░░░░░░░ January 6th and also ░░░░░░░░ Trump for his role ░░░░░░░░ that although of course ░░░░░░░░ did not vote to ░░░░░░░░ here I wonder as ░░░░░░░░ hear that reporting there ░░░░░░░░ the pieces coming together ░░░░░░░░ at a minimum the ░░░░░░░░ s inaction on the ░░░░░░░░ of January 6th are ░░░░░░░░ enough puzzle pieces to ░░░░░░░░ together in your view ░░░░░░░░ the Republican Party for ░░░░░░░░ leaders across the board ░░░░░░░░ step away from Trump ░░░░░░░░ Well it s a ░░░░░░░░ question I think the ░░░░░░░░ on this will come ░░░░░░░░ 2024 if he seeks ░░░░░░░░ nomination for the presidency ░░░░░░░░ I mean look I ░░░░░░░░ for him twice I ░░░░░░░░ quite pleased with most ░░░░░░░░ the policy outcomes of ░░░░░░░░ Trump Administration but what ░░░░░░░░ become clear is that ░░░░░░░░ violated his oath of ░░░░░░░░ and I think we ░░░░░░░░ knew a lot of ░░░░░░░░ He did not act ░░░░░░░░ that day to preserve ░░░░░░░░ and defend the Constitution ░░░░░░░░ is in his oath ░░░░░░░░ office And so as ░░░░░░░░ party Jim what we ░░░░░░░░ going to end up ░░░░░░░░ to reckon with here ░░░░░░░░ can you return someone ░░░░░░░░ the White House will ░░░░░░░░ support someone going back ░░░░░░░░ the White House who ░░░░░░░░ a moment of crisis ░░░░░░░░ to violate their oath ░░░░░░░░ office It says to ░░░░░░░░ best of my ability ░░░░░░░░ I don t think ░░░░░░░░ on this reporting and ░░░░░░░░ on what we already ░░░░░░░░ anyone could argue that ░░░░░░░░ acted to do his ░░░░░░░░ of office to the ░░░░░░░░ of his ability HOST ░░░░░░░░ Scott according to at ░░░░░░░░ Liz Cheney the answer ░░░░░░░░ your question as to ░░░░░░░░ he can return to ░░░░░░░░ Oval Office and become ░░░░░░░░ again of the United ░░░░░░░░ given his inaction is ░░░░░░░░ but it s not ░░░░░░░░ from people like yourselves ░░░░░░░░ Mitch McConnell that we ░░░░░░░░ condemn those actions The ░░░░░░░░ and the hours following ░░░░░░░░ insurrection we heard from ░░░░░░░░ McCarthy now we heard ░░░░░░░░ to Liz Cheney over ░░░░░░░░ weekend saying that Ivanka ░░░░░░░░ went in twice to ░░░░░░░░ her father to do ░░░░░░░░ and the same with ░░░░░░░░ Meadows getting text messages ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump Jr Having ░░░░░░░░ dad stop it if ░░░░░░░░ can please And yet ░░░░░░░░ days and weeks after ░░░░░░░░ the situation seemed to ░░░░░░░░ Why do you think ░░░░░░░░ is and what message ░░░░░░░░ voters and Trump supporters ░░░░░░░░ JENNINGS Well I mean ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump has stayed ░░░░░░░░ his course and stayed ░░░░░░░░ his message that the ░░░░░░░░ was stolen And he ░░░░░░░░ the most influential Republican ░░░░░░░░ the country the grassroots ░░░░░░░░ the Republican Party see ░░░░░░░░ as the leader of ░░░░░░░░ party and there are ░░░░░░░░ inclined to believe what ░░░░░░░░ says about this matter ░░░░░░░░ you know anyone in ░░░░░░░░ or me or anyone ░░░░░░░░ for that matter And ░░░░░░░░ as long as that ░░░░░░░░ the case that is ░░░░░░░░ to be their prevailing ░░░░░░░░ It s not everybody ░░░░░░░░ opinion in the Republican ░░░░░░░░ but yeah if you ░░░░░░░░ out to a party ░░░░░░░░ these days you ll ░░░░░░░░ a lot of people ░░░░░░░░ not only agree with ░░░░░░░░ Trump that the election ░░░░░░░░ stolen but believe he ░░░░░░░░ be returned to the ░░░░░░░░ Now I assume we ░░░░░░░░ going to have a ░░░░░░░░ primary about this in ░░░░░░░░ If I had to ░░░░░░░░ money on it today ░░░░░░░░ d say Trump s ░░░░░░░░ odds on favorite to ░░░░░░░░ the nominee but surely ░░░░░░░░ will stand up to ░░░░░░░░ man and say I ░░░░░░░░ a lot of what ░░░░░░░░ did but January 6th ░░░░░░░░ an unforgivable day.”
