Rudy Giuliani is in hot water in GA for alleged election meddling — but he also spoke to officials in other states.
“He felt that as loyal Republicans, we should line up. But we didn’t,“ @speakerbowers tells @mehdirhasan. “He definitely wanted us to accept unproven claims.”

Does the modern-day GOP have the elements of fascism? Not as a whole, @speakerbowers says.
"But [it] is definitely a loud and threatening and intimidating and angry…part of the party," he tells @mehdirhasan, "that is intimidating others into either acquiescence or silence.”

‘Big Lie’ believers are beating out lifelong, anti-Trump conservatives in elections across the country — and it’s clear the so-called “battle for the soul of the nation” is about the MAGA movement vs. democracy, @mehdirhasan says. Just look at the evidence:

In Arizona, @speakerbowers says, the intimidation of GOP leadership “reminds me of Mussolini” — but what does he think about the Republican Party as a whole?

If it’s felt to you like Trump’s been getting away with some of the 10 possible instances of obstruction listed in the Mueller report, “Guess what?” asks @mehdirhasan — a look at 2019’s Barr memo on Trump & obstruction shows that “he has.” WATCH:

“I do think that Trumpism could conceivably peter out,” @MollyJongFast tells @mehdirhasan. “People are turning against this … They don’t like this religious, fascistic government.”

.@ruthbenghiat says semi-fascist is a “perfect” label for today’s GOP:
“Trump absolutely takes many, many things from fascism,” she tells @mehdirhasan. “That’s why Trump’s in my book in the first place — Mussolini on one end and Trump on the other end."

What’s in a name — especially a name like “fascism” that comes with a long and nuanced history?
@mehdirhasan has discussed the “F-word” many times on this show. But, much to conservatives' dismay, it's becoming an increasingly apt way to label today's GOP:

Starting Friday, you’ll no longer be able to get free Covid tests — and money for vaccines and treatments for the virus may soon also have to come from your wallet.
What’s behind the let-up on govt. funding? @syramadad joins @mehdirhasan to weigh in. Watch on @MSNBConPeacock.

Conservatives can go crazy over it, but the fact of the matter is, public opinion is shifting on the “F-word” — and it’s because of far-right behavior.
@ruthbenghiat and @MollyJongFast join @mehdirhasan to talk more about fascism & the GOP. Catch their convo on @MSNBConPeacock.

The Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade has renewed calls to expand the court.
@ngertner tells @MehdiRHasan this must be done saying, “This court, in three days, overturned decades of precedent.”

As Republicans lose their minds over Biden’s plan to cancel some student debt, they’re showing us who they really are in the process. @MehdiRHasan and @AymanM showcase the contempt some members of the GOP are showing for the working class in tonight’s #handover:

GOP Senators are blasting Biden over his plan to cancel some student debt. But, as @MehdiRHasan points out in tonight’s #minirant, those who had it easier (and cheaper) don’t get to lecture the rest of us. Start the clock!

Trump’s “attention was hard to secure,” @douglaslondon5 tells @MehdiRHasan about trying to brief the then-president, “Using a lot of graphics & images…things that were sort of catchy.” And electronic, he adds, so Trump wouldn’t walk away with the info:

Is it pie in the sky to think Democrats could hold onto both chambers come November?
“I don’t think it’s the most likely path but I do see a path,” Harvard pollster @dellavolpe tells @MehdiRHasan. “To me, it looks a lot like 2018.”
