Kevin McCarthy coddled the GOP's fringes, hoping he’d become speaker. Yet, @mehdirhasan says, the hard right might be what keeps him from doing so.
“All the pandering. All the lies. All the starbursts. And [he] STILL might not get the promotion he’s always wanted.”

Remember how the GOP ran on issues like inflation & crime in the midterms? Yeah, Kevin McCarthy doesn’t actually care about that stuff.
@JulianCastro & @TaraSetmayer join @mehdirhasan to look at the next would-be speaker’s agenda — if he gets the job. Watch on @MSNBConPeacock.

The problem is not just Donald Trump's willingness to dine with some of the nation's most notorious bigots. The problem is also Republicans' willingness to remain silent about it. (via @MaddowBlog) msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show…

Remember all the right-wing pundits who claimed that — without seditious conspiracy charges — January 6 couldn't have been an insurrection?
Well @mehdirhasan is here to break the news to Tucker Carlson: We don't just have charges, now. We also have convictions, too.

“As someone who has made history in his own right, I understand the importance of representation,” @MondaireJones says of Rep. Hakeem Jeffries’ historic election as House Dem leader. “It remains to be seen … how he’ll get along with this ideologically diverse caucus.”

DCCC chair Sean Patrick Maloney forced incumbent @MondaireJones out of his own seat in Dem redistricting — and, in the end, both incumbents lost.
"There’s plenty of blame to go around,” Jones tells @mehdirhasan. “But of course I would've won my seat."

The House passed legislation to avoid a looming rail strike that threatens to paralyze the U.S. economy just weeks before Christmas. Now, its fate — but also the basic rights of rail workers — rest with the Senate.

It’s not just Florida GOPers who are tight with ‘Moms for Liberty’. “There's a lot of Republicans that have linked arms with this group,” @tylerkingkade says.
So, @mehdirhasan asks, how much does the GOP depend on them? Watch their exchange:

The ‘Moms for Liberty’ movement is about more than transforming public schools, @JenkinsBrevard says — it's about privatization.
“They are the quintessential pyramid scheme of politics," she says. "Their mission is...to destroy the very foundation of public education.”

Still feeling good about the midterm election results? Watch out: Lots more school boards are now controlled by far-right, anti-LGBT, book-banning ideologues.
Thank Moms for Liberty…a “grassroots” group that’s got major GOP backing…and has turned the fear mongering up to 11:

Masking, vaccines, critical race theory — much of the commotion about the buzzwords meant to fill parents with fear is coming from a right-wing group called "Moms for Liberty."
@tylerkingkade and @JenkinsBrevard join @mehdirhasan to discuss. Tune in: peacocktv.com/mehdi

Kari Lake is still refusing to concede the governor’s race that she lost in Arizona. Her election-denying supporters are speaking out — and you won’t believe some of the bonkers things they’re saying. WATCH:

The GOP has found a new buzzword for its attacks on the left: “groomers.” But @mehdirhasan’s gotta say — when it comes to disowning convicted child sex offenders, their record is *very* far from spotless. Time for a hypocrisy check!
