SCARBOROUGH Jen really quickly ░░░░░░░░ want to follow up ░░░░░░░░ something that Jon said ░░░░░░░░ before the midterm election ░░░░░░░░ somebody like Jon Meacham ░░░░░░░░ presidential historian a Pulitzer ░░░░░░░░ winner had talked about ░░░░░░░░ gracefully and moving on ░░░░░░░░ working with your opponents ░░░░░░░░ know there would be ░░░░░░░░ mocking and ridiculing that ░░░░░░░░ of talk Oh these ░░░░░░░░ wing snowflakes like making ░░░░░░░░ a sign of weakness ░░░░░░░░ have already seen members ░░░░░░░░ Trump s family and ░░░░░░░░ Republicans basically castigate Jesus ░░░░░░░░ saying the words of ░░░░░░░░ turning the other cheek ░░░░░░░░ weakness and that what ░░░░░░░░ preaches is weakness We ░░░░░░░░ Christians but a lot ░░░░░░░░ the stuff that Jesus ░░░░░░░░ is weakness After the ░░░░░░░░ midterms how fascinating that ░░░░░░░░ Jon Meacham says is ░░░░░░░░ it s not just ░░░░░░░░ s best for America ░░░░░░░░ s best for the ░░░░░░░░ of America it s ░░░░░░░░ for politicians He said ░░░░░░░░ gracefully move on Right ░░░░░░░░ election denier lost in ░░░░░░░░ Every person that refused ░░░░░░░░ lose graceful lost in ░░░░░░░░ Everybody that echoed what ░░░░░░░░ Trump said and said ░░░░░░░░ were also going to ░░░░░░░░ election deniers lost their ░░░░░░░░ So suddenly what s ░░░░░░░░ for the soul of ░░░░░░░░ is also pretty good ░░░░░░░░ advice And I just ░░░░░░░░ if we re seeing ░░░░░░░░ s playing out on ░░░░░░░░ House floor whether this ░░░░░░░░ not just sort of ░░░░░░░░ bad aftertaste of six ░░░░░░░░ that have gone horribly ░░░░░░░░ for America and BRZEZINSKI ░░░░░░░░ hangover SCARBOROUGH Yes the ░░░░░░░░ And yes gone horribly ░░░░░░░░ for Republicans at the ░░░░░░░░ booths in 2017 2018 ░░░░░░░░ 2020 and 2022 PSAKI ░░░░░░░░ mean Joe I think ░░░░░░░░ you have been a ░░░░░░░░ core supporter of the ░░░░░░░░ six years of the ░░░░░░░░ agenda under Trump and ░░░░░░░░ ve watched this you ░░░░░░░░ watching on the House ░░░░░░░░ complete chaos concessions by ░░░░░░░░ McCarthy a lot of ░░░░░░░░ ballot after ballot And ░░░░░░░░ the other side I ░░░░░░░░ the Democrats lost the ░░░░░░░░ in the election They ░░░░░░░░ right And what you ░░░░░░░░ instead is joy enthusiasm ░░░░░░░░ around Hakeem Jeffries around ░░░░░░░░ kind of historic group ░░░░░░░░ leaders the Democrats have ░░░░░░░░ while there s chaos ░░░░░░░░ the other side I ░░░░░░░░ what will determine and ░░░░░░░░ m not a historian ░░░░░░░░ Jon Meacham but what ░░░░░░░░ determine what the next ░░░░░░░░ or couple of years ░░░░░░░░ like is what the ░░░░░░░░ of this Speaker s ░░░░░░░░ is because last night ░░░░░░░░ Gaetz was on Fox ░░░░░░░░ and what he basically ░░░░░░░░ is that they want ░░░░░░░░ McCarthy to be in ░░░░░░░░ straitjacket It s not ░░░░░░░░ about the outcome of ░░░░░░░░ Speaker s race right ░░░░░░░░ s about how they ░░░░░░░░ to govern And so ░░░░░░░░ hangover Joe that you ░░░░░░░░ could continue for some ░░░░░░░░ unless they find a ░░░░░░░░ forward here.”
