Paul Gosar’s video with an animated version of him killing AOC may seem familiar.
Maybe because of that infamous video of a superimposed Trump killing his enemies a la “Kingsman: The Secret Service.” @mehdirhasan and @WalshFreedom have a refresher:
Former GOP congressman @WalshFreedom will be joining me tonight on the @MehdiHasanShow to discuss the latest extremism and awfulness from his former colleague Paul Gosar. Live from 7pm ET on @peacockTV
“Being Don Draper wasn’t just kind of bad for women,” @feministabulous says about Sen. Josh Hawley’s idea of masculinity in America. “It was kind of bad for [men.]”
Josh Hawley’s “rolling dumpster fire” comments about masculinity are “seeking to re-inaugurate” a certain kind of notion of what it means to be a man in America.
@ProfessorCrunk has a refresher.
“There’s a lot of pressure that’s being put right now on the progressive wing of the Democratic Party,” says @MaraGay. “They’re doing their job. The question is why the party doesn’t know how to speak in language to more Americans about [race].”
“In the end, Donald Trump is probably in a better position today than he’s ever been except if he had actually won the election,” says @nytmike about the state of the legal investigations into the former president.
What do today’s Jan. 6th subpoenas for ex-Trump officials reveal?
“These subpoenas went directly to the people closest to the president who were willing to go the furthest,” says @nytmike.
Republicans like @AdamKinzinger have become liberal heroes for standing up against Trumpism. But in tonight’s #minirant, @mehdirhasan has a reminder that Kinzinger can't lecture on the importance of democracy if he doesn’t stand up for voting rights. Start the clock!
“I think people are really missing the point,” @DA_LarryKrasner tells @mehdirhasan of mixed results for criminal justice reform efforts around the country at the polls. “We are winning. Progressive prosecution is winning all across the country.”
Someone is FINALLY taking on the “government propaganda” coming from... @BigBird?? @MehdiRHasan & @AymanM discuss Senator Ted Cruz’s crusade against the fictional character’s vaccination push: “Maybe they think Dr. Fauci is hiding inside the Big Bird costume?"
Tomorrow the Supreme Court takes up a case about an FBI Muslim surveillance program that brings true meaning to what it means to infringe on American liberty. @MehdiRHasan has the details:
As critics charge the Democratic party with straying too far to the left, @RepSusanWild tells @mehdirhasan that “Democrats have to fight back … what we are fighting for are things that are going to affect the lives of ordinary Americans.”
“The only thing that’s shocking [about arguments like ‘Critical Race Theory’] says @sandylocks, “Is that it’s so easy to repeat them.”
The consequences of not teaching history is dire, she tells @mehdirhasan: “The road to authoritarianism will be paved through white supremacy.”
