MSNBC Panel Blames Trump, Republicans for Brazil Riot: ‘No Consequence’ Is ‘the Message that Is Being Sent’

EXCERPT:

TUR: “And what we saw over the weekend and last week, Peter, was the people who were stopping Kevin McCarthy from becoming Speaker were — many of them were election deniers themselves, the mega MAGA crowd, as they colloquially have become to be known as. So I guess the message from that, how does that sound around the world?"
BAKER: "Well, I think that’s exactly right. That’s the message that is being sent and the message being sent from Mar-a-Lago, by the way, where former President Trump had repeatedly characterized the people who stormed the Capitol on January 6th, 2021, as patriots, as protesters, as heroes, in effect. He’s promised to pardon them if he takes office again. He has encouraged fundraising for organizations defending them as if they were political prisoners, characterizing them as if they were simply people who were rising up against, you know, tyranny instead of the other way around. And of course that encourages that kind of thinking elsewhere as well.”
