This Undemocratic Moment Must Be Met Head On: Schmidt | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Schmidt on the button.
💯💯💯💯💯
@Richard Batchelder no, the guys marching for trump weaing white polos and exclaiming “the (jewish people-praraphrasing) will not replace us” back in Charlottesville are the brownshirts. Same dudes showed up to overthrow democracy last week. You don’t have a leg to stand on, so just smarten up.
He always says what Americans are thinking, at least the majority.
@Vampire Slayer That’s the best and most well put simple explanation I’ve seen so far. Thanks!
Capt. Mike , The demographics are against the GOP. The only GOP popular vote win in 30 years was GWB second term because of 9-11 and the wars.
Steve Schmidt is an American hero indeed, a patriot to the core.
They’ve turned patriot and Christian into dirty words.
Agree
He’s making up for bringing us Sarah Palin.
@Piotr Trebisz He also cut funding to school lunches that had been in effect since WW1. Our kids still eat garbage because of it. #VoteVets
@Little Mac86 You mean Ronald Reagan? Yes I know this. And I would not vote for such policies. I used the video to highlight how deranged the Republican Party has become, because even such a anti-social right-winger would be threatend today by Trump supporters.
So seriously, why can government officials not be charged with failing to support the constitutional oath they took?
Amendment 14. They can and they will
@C S I do not share your optimism.
the men and women unfaithful to their oath MUST BE REMOVED. full stop.
@Daniel Morse You obviously have not read the Report On The Investigation Into Russian Interference In The 2016 Presidential Election, and the majority of the news media outlets did. Please educate yourself. The investigations are not completed nor was Donald Trump exonerated. Quite the opposite, as the details of his attempts to impede and obfuscate the investigations are well documented within the report. His attorneys and William Barr argued that a seated president could not be investigated or charged. On Wednesday, January 20th, Joseph Biden will be the President of the United States, and Donald Trump will return to being a private citizen and stripped of (nearly) all of the legal protections shielding him from the continuation of those investigations.
@3WickedWeinerDogs Ah the famed mueller report …after media 3 years 24 X 7 what you get ?? …Cohen who worked for Trump 5 months and other fellow for not suppling paper work filing as a “foreign agent”’….can’t forget FaceBook $100,000 spent on ads ..what part of Hoax don’t you understand ?
@Steve Jakubowski I keep saying not Red/Blue it is a failed system …btw they released Hiliary’s “lost 30,000 emails ” thatwas Bleach bit …
@3WickedWeinerDogs forgot …you do know Dec 17, 2020 — Ex-FBI Agent Strzok Acknowledged Steele Dossier Was ‘Intended to Influence media … …can you say hoax
@3WickedWeinerDogs OOOO it just got worse ….Jan 15 2020 Senate releases declassified Russia docs undercutting Steele dossier
those guys wont change their mind. They have corrupt everything in the party. Graham is the worst always changing side. he was the same 4 years ego.
Is there any official score count on how many times Lindsey G. has turned sides since 2016? Curious!
I believe many, many more folks agree with this, than is normally thought. Folks want sanity, respect & honesty. Nothing else will do.
We the people want stability and non violence politics live and let live equal
rights under the law. We don’t want far right government by force.
@John h Palmer AMEN!!
MOST of them do, yes!
They want DEMOCRACY
Accountability is Justice. Justice is the American Way. We the American People demand Justice!
MR. TRUMP supporters should remember that A CRIMINAL RECORD IS FOR LIFE. Plea for peace.
Oh, and if convicted? No more guns for them and no more voting in elections! But, can’t imagine the domestic terrorists are worried about that since many are looking at long federal sentences. Think of all of their deep, philosophical discussions deep into the night with their cell mates!
Lincoln Project have the right approach. Democracy and Fascism can not coexist together.
Democracy is fascism.
Steve has a great smile, sad we don’t see it more, but I understand.
Ttis that
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
oh yes
They must all be ousted from office
I’m hoping that the members of Congress involved with the riot on the 6th will face justice.
They haft to expose them
Remember when republicans yelled Obama will destroy our Country. This is what republicans are doing today.
They always accuse Democrats of what they are doing themselves.
Republicans are just like Trump: always projecting what they are about onto others.
It’s even worse than mere projection. I believe it was a strategic plan. They were poisoning the rhetorical well on purpose so that when we eventually said it about their guy, we would seem “deranged” and “hysterical.” It’s a variation on the “boy who cried wolf” idea.
@Hard Rocker S..t up those jobs started leaving under Ragen and Bush. Cheaper wages and unless americans excepted less their not coming back.
@Hard Rocker Thanks Ronnie Reagan
Amen, brother Steve!! YOU ROCK. Actions speak louder than words! We need more social media rules/accountability too!
Find the evidence from the insurrectionists in Congress and issue charges and arrest!
John Nemesh Agree
Agreed!
Oh yeah, it’s coming. Now that Trump is neutered the DOJ is able to do its job. Whoever it was giving tours is about to get served.
Schmidt is spot on. No more appeasing. Fight them, obliterate them!
@Britonbear good on ya!
@RØCKΣT MΔN Very well said!!! “We can argue about issues later, but there will be no debate, nor issues if we lose America to fascism.”
@Joe Barr To be fair, Biden did call Trump a clown and told him to shut up. He also wants Trump impeached. Not a bad start.
Through the law, YES.
@Mz G G obviously!
Donald Trump is a tin pot dictator with a tin foil hat militia.
😂😂
@Richard Batchelder what are you mumbling about
@Steve Jakubowski .. Joe’s folks will keep their heads buried in the sand… Just sit and be quiet.!!!
@Richard Batchelder yeah trump goosesteppers love to pretend their heads aren’t in the cesspool
@John DiGiacomo Shhhh!!! John, we don’t want them to know that. We’d rather surprise ’em.
I never tire of hearing Steve’s comments. Right on.
Such a realist. It’s exo
“It’s gonna be wild.” –Donald Trump. Sounds like somebody knew what was gonna happen ahead of time.
You got that right. I saw the video last night on the Insurrectionists yelling at the Capitol Police, “we were invited by the President”! Turned my stomach, he can’t claim he didn’t know!
@Bj Lucas Yeah, and now Organic Horn-Hat boy wants Trump to pardon him as a result… You can’t make this stuff up!
Of course he knew. No moves are made without his consent. Which is prolly why he was reported as near giddy watching it unfold. Of course he didn’t master mind it. But I’m sure he gave the go ahead.
When Trump said those words, it sounded like an invitation to a frat sausage party. Pass!
Yes. Schmidt’s summary in conclusion is EXACTLY correct.
Yes it is. You cannot appease fascists, you must defeat them.
It always is
Anyone who thinks the overthrow of our government by thugs like the Proud boys and other fascist groups is going to lead to a better America are dangerous fools.
Yeah. When they got in the House they were like “What do we do now? clueless
