WORKED SO HARD TO CARRY HIS
AGENDA UP THROUGH THIS BITTER
END?
LET’S HAVE REAL TALK.
THESE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO
SPENT FIVE YEARS FINDING EVERY
SINGLE POSSIBLE OR INCONCEIVABLE
REASON TO DOWN PLAY MINIMIZE OR
LIE ABOUT THE ACTUAL PROJECT OF
TRUMP AND TRUMP-ISM.
YOU LIVE HERE.
YOU WATCH THE NEWS.
I BET YOU REMEMBER IT LIKE I DO.
THE TALK OF NOT TAKING HIM
LITERALLY OR NOT OVERREACTING TO
HIS ENTERTAINING PEREXAGGERATION
THAT WAS CRAP.
THIS
THAT WAS WRONG.
IT WAS THEN AND IS NOW
DANGEROUS.
IF THERE IS ANY ACCOUNTING HERE,
WE DO HAVE SOPME RECEIPTS WHO
FOUGHT TRUMP-ISM AND WHO USED
THE TACTICS TO ADVANCE IT.
>> THE THINGS THAT DONALD TRUMP
IS SAYING AND DOING ARE
GENUINELY A THREAT TO THE
DEMOCRATIC PROCESS.
>> CLEARLY, THE PRESIDENT WAS
MAKING A JOKE.
>> NOBODY SHOULD TREAT IT LIKE A
JOKE NOW.
>> I DOUBT THE CHINA COMMENT WAS
SERIOUS.
>> IT’S IMPORTANT FOR US TO TAKE
SERIOUSLY THE STATEMENTS HE’S
MADE IN THE PAST.
>> WHEN YOU WIN IN A LANDSLIDE
AND THEY STEAL IT AND IT’S
RIGGED, IT’S NOT ACCEPTABLE.
>> A FEW LEGAL INQUIRIES FROM
THE PRESIDENT DO NOT EXACTLY
SPELL THE END OF THE REPUBLIC.
>> THAT LAST POLITICIAN MITCH
McCONNELL, THAT WAS NOVEMBER.
HE WAS WITH TRUMP UNTIL THE VERY
END AS YOU KNOW BUT ON WEDNESDAY
WHEN TRUMP-ISM SPARKED A LITERAL
THREAT TO THE SAFETY OF
McCONNELL AND COLLEAGUES,
SENATOR McCONNELL FOUND THERE
WAS INDEED AN EFFORT AS HE DIS
DISAPPOINTDIS
DISAVOWED TO END.
AN INSURRECTION IS AN EFFORT TO
END THE REPUBLIC.
I’M SHOWING YOU THIS BECAUSE IT
MATTERS NOW.
WE HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST WHO IS
THE PERSON WE THINK YOU NEED TO
HEAR FROM ABOUT THIS NOW.
A WRITER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF
THIS HISTORY.
"THE NEW YORK TIMES" MICHELLE
GOLDBERG INSISTED FROM THE START
WE SHOULD TAKE TRUMP SERIOUSLY
IN HIS FIRST MONTH IN OFFICE SHE
WARNED THAT ANYONE STATING THAT
TRUMP IS A QUOTE MENACE TO OUR
DEMOCRATIC WAY OF LIFE UNDER
STATES THE CRISIS SAYING HE WAS
TRULY AND PROVABLY A QUOTE CRUEL
AUTHORITARIAN AND IF AMERICA
SURVIVES THIS PRESIDENCY, IT
WILL TAKE SOME SORT OF TRUTH AND
RECONCILIATION COMMISSION TO
REBUILD A FUNCTIONING POLICY.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE,
MICHELLE.
>> HEY, THANKS, ARI.
THAT’S VERY KIND OF YOU TO SAY
BUT I DON’T THINK IT TOOK ANY
SPECIAL INSIGHT TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT TRUMP WAS.
I WOULD POINT OUT THAT MOST
SENATE REPUBLICANS UNDERSTOOD
PRECISELY WHO TRUMP WAS BEFORE
HE WON.
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN LOOK AT THE
WORDS OF TED CRUZ.
YOU CAN LOOK AT THE WORDS OF
LINDSEY GRAHAM DURING THE
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN BEFORE
THEY SAW THAT THEIR FUTURE OF
GETTING JUDGES ON THE BENCH AND
TAX CUTS REQUIRED THEM TO
PRETEND TRUMP WAS SOMETHING
OTHER THAN HE WAS BUT IT HAS ALL
BEEN OUT THERE AND OBVIOUS FROM
THE BEGINNING AND I THINK ONE OF
THE PROBLEMS IN OUR POLITICAL
LIFE OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS IS
THAT IF YOU KIND OF COULD SEE
CLEARLY WHO TRUMP WAS, WHICH HE
TOLD US ALMOST EVERY DAY, THEN
YOU HAD TO TREAT HIS PRESIDENCY
AS A DAILY ON GOING EMERGENCY.
AND PEOPLE DIDN’T WANT TO TREAT
HIS PRESIDENCY AS A DAILY ON
GOING EMERGENCY SO THEY KIND OF
REFUSED TO SEE WHO HE WAS AND
TRY TO WRITE IT ALL OFF AS A
JOKE, WRITE IT ALL OFF AS TAKING
SERIOUSLY AND NOT LITERALLY AND
NOT TO MAKE ANY COMPARISONS
BETWEEN TRUMP AND HITLER EXCEPT
TO SAY THAT IT IS VERY COMMON IN
HISTORY FOR PEOPLE LOOKING AT
THE RISE OF AUTHORITARIANS IN
HITLER AND ALL OF THESE CHAR TKT
ER
-- CHARACTERS TO LOOK AT THESE
PEOPLE AND SAY THEY ARE TOO
