is right now ░░░░░░░░ Republican needs to call ░░░░░░░░ out unless they want ░░░░░░░░ to continue to rise ░░░░░░░░ their party Robinson Yeah ░░░░░░░░ Mussolini would be proud ░░░░░░░░ one question about this ░░░░░░░░ t making terroristic threats ░░░░░░░░ federal crime I mean ░░░░░░░░ is this not literally ░░░░░░░░ m a free speech ░░░░░░░░ much absolutist but this ░░░░░░░░ threatening It s threatening ░░░░░░░░ opponents or any Republican ░░░░░░░░ dares disagree with him ░░░░░░░░ you know with assault ░░░░░░░░ a SWAT team assault ░░░░░░░░ would kill them You ░░░░░░░░ this is absolutely impermissible ░░░░░░░░ there has to be ░░░░░░░░ way this can be ░░░░░░░░ This is not right ░░░░░░░░ is not acceptable in ░░░░░░░░ this is not a ░░░░░░░░ political discourse as the ░░░░░░░░ Party might call it ░░░░░░░░ but This is a ░░░░░░░░ threat SCARBOROUGH This is ░░░░░░░░ they do Gene This ░░░░░░░░ what they do Mika ░░░░░░░░ ve had several examples ░░░░░░░░ know there is a ░░░░░░░░ of Congress whose name ░░░░░░░░ m not going to ░░░░░░░░ who was holding an ░░░░░░░░ 15 and said We ░░░░░░░░ to go after The ░░░░░░░░ then showed four Democratic ░░░░░░░░ in the picture as ░░░░░░░░ basically hunting members of ░░░░░░░░ We see this time ░░░░░░░░ time again Republicans don ░░░░░░░░ call it out We ░░░░░░░░ it here with the ░░░░░░░░ ads I would hope ░░░░░░░░ would call this out ░░░░░░░░ they just don t ░░░░░░░░ again I just want ░░░░░░░░ underline again we re ░░░░░░░░ about the rise of ░░░░░░░░ fascism You can look ░░░░░░░░ January 6th You can ░░░░░░░░ at ads like this ░░░░░░░░ can look at the ░░░░░░░░ use of violence and ░░░░░░░░ You can look at ░░░░░░░░ Trump telling his audience ░░░░░░░░ to beat people up ░░░░░░░░ the audience that disagree ░░░░░░░░ him It s fascism ░░░░░░░░ And this is why ░░░░░░░░ this is the only ░░░░░░░░ that needs to matter ░░░░░░░░ you re casting your ░░░░░░░░ which is very hard ░░░░░░░░ say because this country ░░░░░░░░ a lot of problems ░░░░░░░░ we have a lot ░░░░░░░░ growing pains we still ░░░░░░░░ to go through We ░░░░░░░░ a lot of issues ░░░░░░░░ we ve fallen back ░░░░░░░░ But right now this ░░░░░░░░ the issue to vote ░░░░░░░░ Even Hillary Clinton made ░░░░░░░░ clear it s either ░░░░░░░░ move forward toward continuing ░░░░░░░░ democracy or we fall ░░░░░░░░ something very dark and ░░░░░░░░ frightening and very real ░░░░░░░░ s not an exaggeration ░░░░░░░░ this point especially when ░░░░░░░░ look at how this ░░░░░░░░ pervading our politics from ░░░░░░░░ bottom up All started ░░░░░░░░ much by Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ are a lot of ░░░░░░░░ reasons from past presidencies ░░░░░░░░ we got here we ░░░░░░░░ have that conversation we ░░░░░░░░ make all that blame ░░░░░░░░ this is where we ░░░░░░░░ This is what matters ░░░░░░░░ s not Democrat Republican ░░░░░░░░ terms of voting SCARBOROUGH ░░░░░░░░ it s not And ░░░░░░░░ is BRZEZINSKI It s ░░░░░░░░ or SCARBOROUGH It is ░░░░░░░░ growing wing inside the ░░░░░░░░ Party Really again we ░░░░░░░░ debate abortion we can ░░░░░░░░ guns we can debate ░░░░░░░░ And we should SCARBOROUGH ░░░░░░░░ rates we can debate ░░░░░░░░ Gas prices SCARBOROUGH quantitative ░░░░░░░░ We can debate a ░░░░░░░░ different issues but for ░░░░░░░░ growing wing of the ░░░░░░░░ Party it s just ░░░░░░░░ out pro democracy versus ░░░░░░░░ democracy You look whether ░░░░░░░░ is Vladimir Putin whether ░░░░░░░░ is Orban or whether ░░░░░░░░ s just fascism please ░░░░░░░░ on your Google machine ░░░░░░░░ look up the definition ░░░░░░░░ fascism and whether it ░░░░░░░░ in Germany whether it ░░░░░░░░ in Italy wherever it ░░░░░░░░ it is the pushing ░░░░░░░░ of democratic norm the ░░░░░░░░ of violence to do ░░░░░░░░ the use of violent ░░░░░░░░ to do that the ░░░░░░░░ of violence to achieve ░░░░░░░░ means necessary use whatever ░░░░░░░░ necessary to achieve total ░░░░░░░░ and push aside democracy ░░░░░░░░ it s happened over ░░░░░░░░ over again Jonathan Lemire ░░░░░░░░ is obviously a political ░░░░░░░░ for Democrats to take ░░░░░░░░ in but I do ░░░░░░░░ wondering when the hell ░░░░░░░░ is going to be ░░░░░░░░ one or two Republicans ░░░░░░░░ a national platform that ░░░░░░░░ up and actively call ░░░░░░░░ out and aggressively go ░░░░░░░░ it and say This ░░░░░░░░ not who we want ░░░░░░░░ be.’”
