socialist revolutionaries like aoc
and probably 50 or so democrats that are
now elected
i think now they have a majority of the
party because they're putting pressure
on the rest of the party the more that
she can accuse
ted cruz and other republicans of doing
things that are that are evil
the legacy mainstream media will
continue to repeat it
and it will become the truth out there
in the you know so-called hinterlands of
manhattan
that's republican congressman devin
nunes after progressive democrat
congresswoman
alexandria ocasio-cortez rejected a sign
of cooperation from senator ted cruz
with this tweet
you almost had me murdered three weeks
ago so you can sit this one out
happy to work with almost any other gop
that aren't trying to get me killed
in the meantime if you want to to help
you can resign
that was in response to senator cruz
tweeting that he fully agreed with
ocasio-cortez that there should be
hearings on the developing game stop
situation
on wall street power panel slides in now
shawn duffy former republican
congressman from wisconsin
fox news contributor as well and jason
nichols university of maryland professor
of african american studies good to see
you gentlemen
sean why would she respond that way with
a reach out
a bipartisan reach out from across the
aisle
that's a great question because as we
know ted cruz had a completely legal and
constitutional right to call into
question
what was happening in the november
presidential election
and for that ocasio-cortez basically
accuses him of attempted
murder listen harris i was in the
congress for
almost nine years contrary to popular
belief actually people do work together
there is bipartisanship
in the congress and this is destroying
any kind of
bipartisanship that you'll ever have in
the congress just like they destroy
statues
they're destroying bipartisanship that
exist in the congress and by the way
republicans showed restraint when almost
12 members of congress were shot and
almost killed on a baseball field
steve scalise almost died we showed
restraint when our members of congress
left the white house
after the president accepted his uh
nomination they were they were
threatened to be beaten up their wives
were called hookers but that was not the
word that was used
we showed restraint and didn't blame
ocasio-cortez we didn't blame bernie
sanders
we actually showed we straight to say
it's important that we actually work
together
that we come together this is so
outrageous that she would use this
language against ted cruz
is divide an american divide into
congress
well look i don't even have to ask jason
where big tech is on this
is it fact checking what she's doing i
don't even have to ask because i i kind
of know already i didn't see a
disclaimer on that from them maybe their
fact checkers are napping
my question for you though is when does
such hyperbole
become so toxic that there's agreement
that it needs
i don't know censure it needs some kind
of response
well first of all let me just say uh to
your other guest
i'm not so sure that uh aoc was in
congress
i think she was probably working at a
bar when
steve scalise and others were shot so
for her to
sit there and receive the blame for that
seems pretty ridiculous
but let me just say uh i think that what
she's saying
actually has a whole lot of merit
because nothing would have happened on
at the capitol
on january 6 if people hadn't pushed the
big lie and that's cruz
hawley kennedy marshall hyde smith and
tuberville
they all are complicit in this and if
you want to unify our country
and our government and bring back a
sense of collegiality then they should
resign
there was a person who threatened to
kill who was present
on january 6 who threatened to kill
and assassinate aoc so she has every
right
to be upset every right to say that this
person
was involved in that now with one thing
that i want sean excuse me jason i want
sean to quickly respond to this
how can democrats have it both ways
though because they're saying they want
to impeach
uh in the senate now convict a president
that's already gone
on the very charges that jason nichols
is making
against some other republicans i think
i think it's a great point it's it's
it's hypocrisy but
we're in a situation where democrats use
incendiary language they want to attack
republicans they want to call them all
racist and if you can call someone a
racist as you mentioned
in your lead in question you can then
silence them you can shut them down you
can demonize them
and you can say they're fair targets for
attack listen
why is it racist harris to be for
limited government lower taxes
following the rule of law that's not
racist that's a traditional american
theme and when we fight for those things
all of a sudden you're called a racist
ted cruz by the way is hispanic
and all of a sudden he's a racist as
well this has become so outrageous
this is the claim that's made for
everybody everybody's now a racist if
you're a republican jason and we got a
scoot yeah we got breaking news just
just really quickly i don't remember
using the word racism
or i don't remember you saying that i'm
not so sure
where the word racism came up i'm
talking about people being
uh coddling insurrection outing false
equivalencies
i never called uh him a racist neither
did aoc
in her tweet so i'm not even sure where
that conversation actually arose
i'm just all right literally curious
gentlemen racist thank you harris
thanks absolutely good to see you
