BRIAN WILLIAMS HERE WITH YOU,
ALONG WITH NICOLE WALLACE.
YOU’RE N LOOKING AT THE UNITED
STATES SENATE CHAMBER.
THEIR LIVES WERE THREATENED.
THE CHAMBER WAS LOOTED AND
DESECRATED.
MANY OF THEIR DESKS WERE
RANSACKEDWE AND YET, AT THE END
THIS PROCESS, THEY HAVE NOT
FOUND IN SUFFICIENT NUMBERS THAT
DONALD TRUMP ENINCITED THAT MOB
THAT SHOWED UP AT THE CAPITOL.
MANY OF THEM WEARING TACTICAL
GEAR, REPLACING AMERICAN FLAGS
WITHAM TRUMP FLAGS.
EARLIER TODAY, THE DEMOCRATS HAD
A H CHANCE TO INTRODUCE A NEW
FRONT,NE A NEW CHAPTER, AND EXTE
THIS TRIAL WITH DEPOSITIONS AND
THE LIKE.
THEY CHOSE NOTDE TO PRESS THE
ISSUE.
IN THE END, THE DEMOCRATS TOOK A
PASS, AND IN THE END, AS YOU
SAW, NO MINDS WERE CHANGED.
THE VOTE WAS 57-43, THE BLOC OF
7 REPUBLICANS THAT CAME FORWARD
DURING THE TEST VOTE HELD
TOGETHER.
NO NUMBERS WERE ADDED TO THEIR
RANKS.
NICOLE WALLACE?
>>AL YOU KNOW, HOT TAKES ARE SO
DANGEROUS AND SO PLENTIFUL, AND
I RESISTED ALL WEEK LONG PUSHING
THIS WEEKEE AND THIS PROCESS
THROUGH A POLITICAL FRAME.
I’LL CONTINUE TO DO THAT TODAY.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE
RECORD WILL REFLECT IRREFUTABLE
EVIDENCE THAT DONALD TRUMP DID
WHAT LIZ CHENEY SAID HE DID,
THAT HESA GATHERED A MOB, HE
INCITED A MOB, HE SENT THE MOB
TO MARCH ON THE CAPITOL, AND
WHEN IT WAS UNDER WAY, WHEN HIS
OWN VICE PRESIDENT’S LIFE WAS IN
DANGER, HE INCITED IT FURTHER.
DONALD TRUMP DOESN’T DISAGREE
WITH THOSE FACTS.
DONALD TRUMP’S LAWYERS DIDN’T
REALLYNA DISPUTE THOSE FACTS, SO
THE DEFENSE OF DONALD TRUMP WAS
AROUND HIS RIGHT TO SAY THE
THINGS THAT INCITED THE RIOT.
THERE WAS NO DEFENSE OF HIS
CONDUCT DURING THE SIEGE.
