[cheers and applause] marjorie: ok. let's tell them a few little stories. matt: ok, go ahead. marjorie: ok, so i did talk to one democrat recently. [booing] just one. from new york 14. i'm in georgia's 14th district, she's from new york's 14th district. a.o.c. wait, wait. i mean sandy. sandy cortez. so little sandy wrote a little 14-page piece of legislation called the green new deal. is anyone familiar? little sandy has a degree in economics. i have a business degree and i'm a successful business owner. but sandy has worked in the restaurant industry. that's a hard job. i waited tables in college. i commend her for that, i'm serious. but i have a real big problem with the green new deal. it's going to destroy our economy. a

[cheers and applause] marjorie: ok. let's tell them a few little stories. matt: ok, go ahead. marjorie: ok, so i did talk to one democrat recently. little adam. he put together a pac. his is called country first pac. this plan for two years is to get rid of matt gaetz and marjorie taylor greene. because he thinks we are the problem in the republican party. what do you all think about that? he thinks there should be bipartisanship with the democrat. how about that? yeah, we don't agree, do we? matt: i think for our movement to remain inspirational and successful to draw people in, we have to show the ability to tell the truth about some of our own. if we have people, as republicans, who care more about the pac's donating t

marjorie, you don't want to do this, marjorie. i said, why? why not? well, you are going to put people on record. you just need to let these things pass quietly and you can vote conscious marjorie could you can say yeah or nay. like, that's not what i'm here for. i know how to do a job and i like to work hard. just like you, just like all of you, just like the american people, except the ones that love getting paid their bail out checks and staying homei and won't go to work. that's another issue. so i get chewed out for making people vote and it was republicans that didn't like it, well, we can just go with the rinos. you y'all want names, don't y? this is what they don't understand, and it's on both sides of the aisle. they had been there so long that they only know how to function together, and they forget who they work for. they work for you. well, once we started putting them on record and calling for recorded votes and i started getting hell for my friends and house freedom caucus by you and i started getting help from people like matt gaetz and

>> they're afraid of marjorie taylor greene? >> i think -- well, look, ana when i said back in august last year when she was nominated, that kevin mccarthy should have not invited her into the republican conference and said she was not ever going to get on a committee, and that they would defeat her in the primary in 2022. that's what they should do now. disinvite her from the republican conference. her comments are so out of bounds, so reprehensible and so offensive, so idiotic. but they're not surprising. given the source. she gave -- she brought to our attention jewish space lasers, for heaven sake. this is insanity. and she is a problem for the party, but i think they've been afraid to punish her because they're focused on winning the majority in 2022, and if they antagonize that wing of the party, they could lose speaker votes for kevin mccarthy. now, i don't agree with this strategy at all but i think that's what's driving this. but these recent comments are so out of bounds, so wild, so reckless, so incendiary, they have

[cheering] >>+ march -- >> marjorie, you don't want to do this. i said, why? you're going to put people on record. you need to let these things pass quietly. you can vote your conscience and say yay ornate. -- yay or nay. i got chewed out for making people vote. it was republicans who did not like -- it was republicans, you what names. this is what they don't understand. it is on both sides of the aisle. they have been there so long fail in how to function together and they forget who they work for. they work for you. once we started putting them on record and calling for recorded votes and i started getting help from my friends in the house freedom caucus and we started: four reported vote, that change things. there was one week there were 28 bills set to go out, i've put it on twitter because that's where you tell everybody everything unless you get kicked off. i said i'll be calling for the yeas and nays. that list got dropped down to five bills that week. i will tell you one more thing that really sets them off is when i asked for a motion to adjourn. that

it's congresswoman marjorie taylor greene. she's facing more backlash today after comparing the white house mask mandate to the holocaust. how do her comments, her doubling down on those comments, make you feel? she's already been stretches her committee assignments. what else should be done? >> as a jewish american, as a representative of a district many jewish americans and descendants of holocaust survivors -- it's unconscionable. it's an embarrassment to the institution. but really, really shouldn't give someone like marjorie taylor greene airtime for these kinds of asinine and insane comments. we need -- she is someone who thrives on this type of attention. as she is not a serious policy maker. she's not a credible elected official. we need to focus on the job at hand. we're in a pandemic, invest in the infrastructure, creating. jobs >> i see that argument. but you also feel as though if these comments and this rhetoric exists in a silo, then it could just grow in some of those chambers of the internet. rather than puttin

the media gravitate to conflict and controversial lawmakers like marjorie taylor greene. there's going to be a lot more coverage in the future, depending on what she says. i think there will be more of it as we get closer to the next election. howie: the cnn report that mccarthy and mcconnell were pressured into condemning the congresswoman after initially staying quiet for several days. does that sound plausible to you, that they would kind of read the political tea leaves and felt like they had to come out and issue those condemning remarks? >> what i know the republicans loathe to do is react at something that makes it look like they're reacting to something the democrats want them to do. everything is like i say, they're engaged in a labeling war now. the republicans were all too happy to point to the squad for remarks they made, supporting palestine versus israel with the latest rocket battle in the middle east. they want to identify each other as a an extremist party. there's a reluctance among republican leaders to condemn one of their own. nobody likes to do that

and donald trump likes marjorie taylor greene. so apparently she gets to do whatever she wants, you know, until at least according to cnn's reporting, they start hearing from donors and members of congress saying, this is not going to fly. and then he gives this kind of ridiculous calling her out and then pointing fingers at the democrats. but he's not really doing anything about it. >> yeah. amanda, republican sources tell cnn that gop donors, house members as well urged mccarthy to condemn greene, but they don't think much else is going to happen to her, saying this, and i quote. donald trump likes her. he supports her, and kevin doesn't want to upset trump. i mean -- >> yeah. >> that's like really -- that's not even a leader if you're following that. if that's what you're doing. >> kevin mccarthy is a political wind sock. he will flip on every issue to appease whoever is treating him well at that particular moment in time. this isn't going to get better. this isn't the only incident marjorie taylor greene has. what do you want?

that video was from before marjorie taylor greene arriving at capitol hill. it's in line with basically how she has comported herself as a member of congress. i don't think it's editorializing to say this is deeply abnormal behavior for a member of congress. >> i think that's fair characterization, t(chris. marjorie taylor greene is someone who made herself known as an internet troll. that is essentially the way she is conducting herself here. this is twitter trolling 101. find someonesy with larger following than you and pick fight with them and try to get them to engage with you. that's what you saw in thatok tape. that's the incident we saw with early trying to get alexandria ocasio-cortez to engage with her on green new deal debate. that's largely how she sees her function in congress right now. remember, she ise1w3 alreadyu she's axd junior member of the minority party. she has a reputation that nobody will co-sponsor a bill with her or work withj/b÷ her on anyt substantive. i think she feels like this is her contribution to this congress is to be a tro

marjorie taylor greene would certainly say i'm jewish. my reaction to her is how dare she presume to speak for me as a rational person? how dare she, this person who has espoused anti-semitic theories about space lasers causing forest fires. how dare she? what's your reaction? >> john, you're spot on. look, this rational jewish person right here believes it's time for marjorie taylor greene to be expeled from congress. this is enough. marjorie taylor greene is trafficking in hate speech, tr trivializing the holocaust, dog whistles to the far right to raise money, to raise her political power, to bias our politics in the place of hate. and there's no place for hate in our politics. this needs to stop right now. >> marjorie taylor greene at this point -- well, well beyond this point, has made clear exactly who she is and the hateful theories that she espouses. the important question now is, what is going to be done about it? what kevin mccarthy, the house minority leader, going to do about it? he stood in the way of marjorie taylor greene b

have a listen. >> they call marjorie an anti-semite. if marjorie is an anti-semite, she is terrible at it because she is one of the most pro-israel members of congress to have ever served. it is so offensive that the establishment in washington, d.c. think they know better than you, think they know better than the people of north georgia. >> so you can clearly see there that gaetz and greene are two peas in a pod on this issue. he's out there vigorously defending her. >> okay. so, donie, rally goers are eating it up too, right? >> reporter: absolutely. take a listen to one woman we spoke to who was on her way into the event tonight. you don't need me to tell you a lot of people don't like greene. >> that's okay because you know what? a lot of people didn't like jesus christ. >> greene got in a lot of trouble this week for comments about the holocaust. >> you know what? we're all imperfect, aren't we? we all -- >> do you think she should apologize? >> um, actually, i don't know exactly what was said that -- about the holocaust, as to wha

and they are suggesting they oust marjorie taylor greene from the caucus. of course, that is met with deaf ears among the leaders there. the other, like i said, they feed on attention. and it would be -- here we are, and i understand why, but we're talking about them. and they are loving it. and, you know, and this is trump's inspiration. you know, if you start a dumpster fire, people are going to stop and watch.

oh, there's marjorie taylor greene. or just straight up hatred, like stared on hatred. >> tucker: really? >> some of them can't even make eye contact with me because i think there may be a little intimidated by me. the one she went on to describe the one conversation she has had with any democratic member of congress and the time that she has been at the capitol. and that was with alexandria ocasio-cortez. the whole interview was fascinating. again, we are going to let you decide is always what you think of marjorie taylor greene. but we feel like you have the right to decide what you think of marjorie taylor greene and we have the right to interview anyone will want and we are going to. that is on foxnation.com. in just a few years, democratic party has transformed the state of virginia. it was a republican state. now it's a democratic state. it's a very different state as a result of that. our next guest is a republican who was running for the next governor of virginia. he things he can save the state. he would join u

marjorie taylor greene, on the other hand, not only has not apologized. she has gone on twitter and sort of doubled down on everything she said and is portraying herself as a victim and even trying to pretend she didn't say what everybody heard her say. so i think kevin mccarthy thinks the only way he will win the house back is with donald trump behind him and he doesn't want to upset donald trump and donald trump likes marjorie taylor greene and so apparently she gets to do whatever she wants, you know, until at least according to cnn's reporting they start hearing from donors and members of congress saying this is not going to fly and then he gives this kind of ridiculous calling her out and then pointing fingers at the democrats. but he is not really doing anything about it. >> amanda, republican sources tell cnn that g.o.p. donors, house members as well urged mccarthy to condemn greene. they don't think much else will happen to her. i quote, donald trump likes her. he supports her and kevin doesn't want to upset trump. i mean -- >> yeah. >> that's not

like, that's what they are saying with marjorie taylor greene. like, oh, my god, she's -- like, could she just stop? like, people are mumbling under their breath going this woman is so embarrassing. does she not have any shame? i think that's -- >> yeah, but why don't they do something about it? i mean, in congress, there are rules, right? >> same reason they won't do anything about trump. i mean, cause, you know -- >> but, guys, the -- the -- that's the exact point and that's the problem for the republican party. if you don't do something about the extremes, you are defined by the extremes. so, by not pushing back on them. by not penalizing them and penalizing liz cheney, they are becoming defined by marjorie taylor greene. >> but, mark. here -- here, this is the whole thing. the whole thin,g, in a nutshell mark and kirsten. all of it, every-single bit of it is a grift. so, she is like, this is really cool. i can do it. and i am going to own the livs and the people who support me, they are going to love it. and trump is going to love it. and eve

enter congresswoman marjorie taylor greene seen here equating mask regulations for house members are the holocaust. >> you know, we can look back in a time in history where people were told to wear a gold star and they were definitely treated like second class citizens so much so that they were put in trains and taken to gas chambers and nazi, germany and this is exactly the type of abuse nancy pelosi is taking about. >> that is congress woman last week, marjorie taylor greene talking about genocide and here she is again. >> i said nothing wrong and i think any rational jewish person didn't like what happened in nazi germany and any rational jewish person doesn't like what is happening with over bearing mask mandates. >> her remarks are as my mom used to say deeply stupid. but much as she'd like it to be, this is not about her. it's about this. >> reporter: minority leader kevin mccarthy, steve scalise and elyce ignored hmultiple requests for coppermment on gen remarks. >> a number of rank and file republicans did condemn the remarks including congresswoman liz cheney. she was stripp

enter congresswoman marjorie taylor greene. seen here, equating mask regulations for house members, with the holocaust. >> you know, we can look back in a time in history, where people were told to wear a gold star. and they were definitely treated like second-class citizens. so much so that they were put in trains and taken to gas chambers in nazi germany. and this is exactly the type of abuse that nancy pelosi is talking about. >> that is congresswoman, last week, marjorie taylor greene, trivializing genocide. and briefly, here she is amplifying her remarks, in case you missed the anti-semitism. >> i said nothing wrong, and i think any -- any-rational jewish person didn't like what happened in nazi germany. and any rational, jewish person doesn't like what's happening with overbearing mask mandates. >> her remarks are, as my mom used to say, deeply stupid. but much as she'd like it to be, this is not about her. it's about this. >> minority leader kevin mccarthy, house gop whip, steve scalise, and conference chair elise stefan

we're speaking out finally to condemn marjorie taylor greene. kevin mccarthy putting out a statement saying this marjorie is wrong in her intentional decision to compare the horrors of the holocaust with wearing masks is appalling. the statement saying this, "representative scalise does not agree with these comments and condemns thee comparisons to the holocaust." speaking out against vile comparisons like what greene offered doubled down on and then tripled down on this morning should be the most basic expect sags of anyone considered a leader in america. so are they leading here? because of all the republicans you now probably see put out similar statements, it was not leading at all anymore. simply following, i he don't know, the polls. joining me now is lauren fox on capitol hill. what is behind this -- what's behind the statements, driving the statements this morning? >> well, obviously, we saw a flurry of the statements coming from house remepublican leadersp a few minutes ago. as mitch mcconnell was heading to the senate floor to give his

as much as we have heard about marjorie taylor greene, we've never heard anything from marjorie taylor greene. never met her, never talked to her, no idea what she is really like. and it might be worth finding out. so we sat down with her for an episode of "tucker carlson today." it airs tomorrow. and what an interesting conversation it was. it's about an hour long, and we recorded it. so you can make up your own mind about marjorie taylor greene. and we hope that you will. in the meantime, here is a short clip of it. we asked, what is it like wandering around congress being marjorie taylor greene? how do your democratic colleagues respond to you? here is what she said. >> they see me and they look at at me, and they have these looks on their faces, which is very amusing. >> what looks? >> there is marjorie taylor greene. or straight up hatred, like stare down hatred. >> really? >> some of them can't even make eye contact with me because i think there may be a little intimidated by me. >> tucker: she went on to describe the one conversation she has had with any democratic member of con

joining us tonight is marjorie taylor greene, i love marjorie. >> dan, thank you for being here. no matter what the game or the political calculation is that's dictating the slow walk of mccarthy and other republican leaders, you think this actually could blow up in mccarthy's face in his quest to be speaker, why is that? >> >> i agree with mccarthy's comment, he calls it appalling. there needs to be consequences for this kind of discourse. this kind of messaging from greene is distracting from the republicans going after biden's over reaching ando overspending. it is not helping mccarthy recruiting for next cycle that can win in toss-up district and what he needs to be focusing on now. so this is all a big distraction and why low walking and response, calling it appalling is certainly something and not enough and by not commenting on her ridiculous comments and what's going on in the middle east right now when the republicans should be standing with israel. i think he needs to be aggressive in going after her and there needs to be consequences of these kinds of crazy remarks. >>

the video of marjorie taylor greene screaming at aoc through the mail slot. i think that was before she was elected to congress. it's the same person it's bizarre behavior for any adult. alexandria ocasio-cortez saying marjorie taylor greene isn't well and needs help. >> think about the fact that this is a workplace. first of all, these are members of congress and hopefully they should have more decorum that you're seeing from marjorie taylor greene and what you're seeing members harassing other members and doing it in awa that would the nobody acceptable in the private sector or any work promenade des anglais. it really calls into question who is running the show and looking the way that leader kevin mccarthy is saying he hasn't seen it and doesn't know what it's all about. he's turning a blind eye to behavior that would be unacceptable in any other setting. this is the house of representatives and this is the member's house and they out to be acting with a little more derek rum. >> we just heard congresswoman cheney and i heard about more fric members of th

it can't be done without both sizing it kevin mccarthy reads marjorie is wrong to compare the horrors of the holocaust with wearing a mask is appalling. the holocaust is the greatest atrocity in history and the fact this needs to be stated is deeply troubling following at a time the gee wish people face increased violence and threats, nancy pelosi. omar played on anti s-semitic tropes suggesting it was motivated by money rather than principle. she apologized. congressman greene didn't apologize for anything. joining us, david sicily. the fact it took five days for the house republican leadership to finally address these repulsive comments according to cnn's reporting, kevin mccarthy had to be pushed, what does that say to you? >> it's disgraceful. it took them five days, it should have taken five minutes but the reality is kevin mccarthy lost control of the caucus. this is the house focused on one issue returning to power and read an insurrection against the government of the united states and excused that and willing to excuse the conduct of marjorie taylor greene because they see he

reportedly involved in this confrontation with eric s swalwell. >> marjorie taylor greene reportedly confronted representative alexandria ocasio-cortez in the halls of capitol hill. what's going on? cnn's lauren fox with the latest. let's start with this incident with swalwell. >> reporter: you're required to wear a mask when marjorie taylor greene's spokesman said biden said you don't have to wear a mask, he responded he would do what he wanted essentially and i think one of the issues here is this isn't the first time we've seen sort of a heated exchange right off the house floor in recent days. like you mentioned, marjorie taylor greene, she confronted representative alexandria ocasio-cortez earlier this week basically wanting to debate her on socialist ideology and ante fa and other items. we talked to the congresswoman earlier today about what she thought of that interaction with marjorie taylor greene. here's what she said. >> this is a woman that's deeply unwell. and clearly needs some help. i am kind of her fixation that's lasted for several years now. at this point, i think

she's just not that into, marjorie taylor greene. i'm sorry. >> quickly responses aside, we're not seeing many republican members of congress speak out against the actions of congresswoman marjorie taylor greene, as well noted. just a couple of been really outspoken. someone -- with kamala's minority leader kevin mccarthy, we haven't seen her really take her behavior into consideration with any formal action of condemnation. but this also comes as congresswoman greene has raised about three point $2 million in the first quarter of this year. her strategy is working, effectively. she's getting that attention. she is raising money. there is no indication of her brand being dented. by way of the strategy and what she's trying to do. >> it's really remarkable when you think about it. i never would, but if i was knocking on kendis's office door harassing him like that, i would be gone in a second. in any normal place of business. >> restraining order? >> his phone would've been on the dial there. this is a video here from cnn that i belie

there are democratings moving to try to censure marjorie taylor greene. you can also expel her from the conference. that takes a two-thirds majority of the conference. i don't see that happening, brianna. >> she's currently living in this self-reinforcing bubble of twitter while she's away, but we'll see when she comes back to washington if it's more of a rude awakening. lauren, great to see you. thank you so much. >> a feckless c-word? >> right? my goodness. can you imagine anyone's boss putting up with anyone endorsing that kind of comment? it's ridiculous. >> who works for whom? >> that's a very good question. who's in charge? >> right. who's in charge? it seems she is. lauren was talking about expelling her from the conference, requiring a too two-thirds vote. they only use that for somebody who's lied about the election. >> you're not going to get that when you look at the liz cheney vote no, way. >>> along those lines, this morning a deeply integrated interview. this is ground zero for people who tried to talk about the audit. karen fahn, a republic

is marjorie taylor greene a threat to her congressional colleagues? >> well, she has certainly engaged in threatening behavior, and i think ultimately, this is something that may have to be evaluated by the ethics committee. congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez has shown tremendous restraint and should be commended in that regard because it appears the so-called congresswoman from georgia is stalking her. this is not the first incident, and she is clearly intentionally trying to lure congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez into some kind of conflict in order to promote marjorie taylor greene's own, you know, online celebrity, if you will, and her appeal to the far right reaches of the internet. but again, this shows how far the house republican conference has fallen in terms of race to the bottom because, on the one hand, they oust liz cheney, who chose patriotism and apparently that disqualifies her from being in leadership in the house republican conference, while at the same time continue to play footsy and coddle the extremists in their party lik

>> it's actually going to be really kind of tough to rein in marjorie taylor greene. because democrats have used their most powerful weapon already, which is removing her from her two committees. so unless there's some sort of crime committed or whatever, she's in congress without those committees and she can continue to do the procedural tactics of making votes last longer, she can continue to run after oscasio-cortez. there is the house ethics committee which oscasio-cortez raised but that's sort of two-flipped. there is a censor, they can but that would require republicans to side with them which they would not, i doubt, unless there was serious behavior. at the moment we are seeing kevin mccarthy, the gop leader, is all but likely not going to be reining in marjorie taylor greene. he doesn't have a confrontational style. basically, we're probably going to see more and more antics from her. one thing i want to highlight is, i had a pro-trump house republican mentioning to me how she fund-raised $3.2 million in her first three months alone. that is a significant num

that's what they are saying with marjorie taylor greene. people are mumbling under their breaths, this woman is so embarrassing. >> why won't they do anything about it? >> the fact point, that's the problem for the republican party. if you don't do anything, you are defined by them. by not penalizing them and liz cheney, they are becoming defined by marjorie taylor greene. >> the mark, the whole thing in a nutshell. all of it, every single bit of it is a grift. she's like this is really cool, i am going to do it and people who support me they're going to love it. trump is going to love it and i will get on tv and the media. it is anot about policies or having values. it is about yourself, the audience of one. it does not stand for anything, it does not stand for physical conservatism or family values. anybody who cares about family and values would not do something like that because they could tell their kids to do the exact opposite. it is not about that. it is all a grift. and it is like a big giant ponzi scheme. >> thank you, mark and ki

meanwhile, marjorie taylor greene comparing mask mandates to the slaughter of 6 million jews. i've already played her appalling comments, and i don't want to do it again. how do you explain the deafening silence from all but a few -- a handful of republicans? >> well, now is the time, don, for them to speak up. i mean this was offensive, ignorant, outrageous, and frankly unsurprising given the source. this is the woman who gave us talk about jewish space lasers. look, it's long past time that they finally condemn her. i said when she was nominated last august that the gop at that time, kevin mccarthy, should have said she would not be welcome into the house republican conference, and she would not be seated on committees, and that they would work and defeat her in the primary in 2022. they should have done it then. now they have time. they can do it now. they can throw her out of the conference once and for all. i saw your previous segment, don, too, with jonathan swan, where marjorie taylor greene's image ratings supposedly were higher among gop voters than liz cheney and mit

. >> o'donnell: congresswoman condemned: republican leaders call out marjorie taylor greene for comparing masks and vaccines with jewish suffering during the holocaust. the rare rebuke. wild weather: tornadoes in kansas, the storm threat for millions tonight. murder charges: remember the murder charges: remember the case of two missing kids in idaho found buried in their stepdad's backyard? the breaking new indictments. peace mission: the secretary of state tries to preserve a fragile cease-fire, even as israel issues a blunt warning to hamas. and the game-changer. a mysterious donor changing lives for student athletes. this is the "cbs evening news" with norah o'donnell, reporting from the nation's capital. >> o'donnell: good evening, and thank you for joining us. we're going to begin tonight with a nationwide call to action as americans remember the death of george floyd. it has been a year since floyd's cries of "i can't breathe," sparked the largest social justice movement in history, and tonight his family is here in washington, where they spent the day on capitol hill and met with p

>>> the house republican leader finally condemns the, quote, appalling comments from marjorie taylor greene comparing mask mandates to the holocaust. the if there was only someone with the power to take action against her for it. hmm. >>> plus, donald trump claims immunity in a lawsuit over the capitol riot saying he was just doing his job as president. welcome to "the lead." i'm pamela brown in for jake tapper, and we begin with the national lead and the murder of a black man one year ago today that ignited a movement. this afternoon in minneapolis a moment of silence for george floyd killed by a police officer who kept floyd pinned to the ground with his knee on floyd's neck. the act amplified by a teenager's cell phone video and seen around the world. his death sparked protests, conversations about race and debates over patterns and practices in policing. one year later, a more solemn tone with memorials, not just in the u.s. but also overseas. we saw demonstrations in britain. a crowd took a knee to remember floyd in scotland and in washington, d.c. the floyd family discussed the

marjorie taylor greene has been stripped of the committee assignments. she is an enthusiast. she thinks there are jewish space lasers starting forest fires. she has a long track record of unhinged statements. yet, it's powerful when the leader of the republican party speaks out. i think it's incumbent whether you're from the right or the left in this moment when we're seeing anti-semitism in the streets. and some on the left haven't called it out clearly unequivocally, jim. we need people to be willing to say without qualification anti-semitism is unacceptable and has no place in america. >> it would seem to be an easy thing to do in the year 2021. and yet for some, it's not. tell us, explain to our viewers who might not understand this what you believe is fueling this right now. you noted to my colleague wolf last night that social media is a big part of the problem. >> there is no doubt that social media has amplified and exacerbated this issue. look in, previous situations when there is conflict in the middle east, we've seen an uptick of anti-semitic acts in america. noth

will he embrace, bear hug marjorie taylor greene on that rally stage? i think that's the big question. >> and i just want to add, the one difference is that with steve king, mccarthy did punish him. mccarthy did, you know, take steps against him. it was the democrats who took steps against marjorie taylor greene. >> that's right. >> not kevin mccarthy. >> and just to put a finer point on this, kevin mccarthy, marjorie taylor greene endorsed the comment of someone calling him a feckless "c" word and he's let it stand, okay? so that's -- that tells you all you need to know about what flies here. i want to talk to you guys about a politico report because politico is reporting that you actually have donald trump and newt gingrich kind of joining up partners in crime to come up with a new contract for america. what do you think about this? >> i think this is very much led by donald trump's allies and probably less so by trump himself. he has indicated for the past six months now that all he wants to talk about is the 2020 election. and his allies are startin

in a statement today, kevin mccarthy said quote, marjory is wrong. her intentional decision to compare the horrors of the holocaust with wearing masks is appalling. let me be clear -- be clear -- it remains to be seen if his words have any effect on greens action. once again she likened mask mandates to nazi germany. we quote, vaccinated employees get a vaccination logo just like the nazis forced jewish people to wear a gold star. for the record, that was yellow, and in effect marked millions of people for death. still with us james carville and michael steele. i will read a quote james from something you wrote. this is a former chairman of the ones great republican party. epublica party. michael asked you before, but does it ever get back to its old definition, its roots, its identity? >> the hope always springs eternal but reality is cruel. [laughs] the cruelty for this with more and more republicans is that it doesn't. the fact that, you know, ken mccarthy put out a statement and took no reaction with respect to marjorie taylor greene, her crazy j

outrage is brewing over remarks made by marjorie taylor greene. you are surprisingly the georgia republican is not walking back the comments but pressing ahead and doubling down. >> i stand by all of my statements. i said nothing wrong and i think any rational jewish person didn't like what happened in nazi germany and doesn't like what's happening with

. >>> plus, marjorie taylor greene doubled down on comparing covid mask mandates to the holocaust. what could this mean for the state of her party? >>> raising questions about the origin of covid-19, where it came from and is anybody trying to hide the truth? i will discuss with my guest, dr. celine goaler. >>> good to have you with us. unacceptable and unprecedented and shocking. that's just some of the outrage pouring in over the arrest of a activist from belerus. it was the president that ordered a fighter jet to escort the plane where the vocal critic of the president was detained. the plane spent several hours on the ground before it continued on and arrived safely in the lithuanian capital. a passenger described what happened onboard. >> at one moment we just changed the direction of flight and we go down and to the left. after, let's say 2 1/2 minutes, the captain of the crew and the crew say that they are going to land in minutes and don't give a reason why. >> those actions are now drawing strong reaction. the u.s. has condemned the forced diversion of the flight and is ca

marjorie taylor greene off the rail tonight, hitting a brand new low comparing democrats to nazis. >> let's get right to capitol hill. cnn's ryan nobles is joining us now. we are waiting for that vote, what's going on, what's the holdup? what's happening? >> reporter: the holdup had nothing to do with the one-sixth,one-sixth commission, don. a bipartisan legislation designs to make the united states more competitive than china. it is a massive bill and hundreds of millions of dollars. there has been amendments added thro through the course of the night that held that up. ron johnson would like to see something added to this bill related to border security. he's putting his thumb on the pause button here preventing the bill from moving forward. what we are watching right now play out on the floor of the united states senate is they were in a prolong period waiting for something to happen that they called a quorum call, forcing every senator to come down on the floor so they can hash out these differences and hoping to get it passed and move onto the january 6th commission bill. this is
