Steve Schmidt: ‘106 Members Of Congress Broke Faith With American Democracy’ | The Last Word | MSNBC
GOP has died and been taken over by TRUMP
And That Means Backing Him For a Dictatorship, Than were Screwed !!!!!
No, Trump is but the result of the Republican plan that started with Reagan to be a one party system. They are traitorous pigs, all of them. Trump is not an anomaly, he is a product of their disease and very intentional.
By Russia.
@Md Saifullah At liberty mutual you only pay for what you need.
They willingly went with him. He is just a symptom of it.
It is no longer a joke. Some people understand that.
@D Hat don’t worry you Fascist Coward. He will be disbarred, tarred, and feathered written in the immortal Book of American history as a Seditious Treasonous Coward.
@Andrew Gause don’t worry, he got a PhD from Trump-University….and it shows!
@J Wilson scared?
@D Hat scared of what? U? Haaaaaabrughaass!!!!
@J Wilson of backing your talk with action? or you want OTHERS to do your will.in other words, jump froggie. but you are scared…… and dumb since I had to spell it out
Traitors All of Them to the USA.
@J none have been as blatantly corrupt as Trump.
I have a feeling taxes are going to destroy him.
@mark bodman That’s an acknowledgement of the privilege he enjoyed as a result of he employment.
@Robert Franz Who knows…time will tell
@Robert Franz you admitted it yourself. The Constitution dictates how the electoral college operates.
Citizens of Trumpistan, enjoy. I know I will:

Something is rotten in America.
@Asher Houseman Trump is only claiming Hunter Biden is a criminal to give his base something to grab hold of.
@WARRIOR OF GOD If there was a devil, his name would be Donald Trump.
The Supreme Court has today removed the rot
yup, the Retrumplicans.
@ophirdog They’re not.
Mitch is morally bereft. who would trust him with the life of their child….
All the people who re-elected him over and over, he is destroying the whole country, he should have power only over the people who elected him. 🤬
Mitch is bereft of the criminal-mindedness that created the election fraud to begin with.
Child? I wouldn’t even let him near a glass of water; he might poison it
Voter suppression is real
@Joanne Fitzpatrick It’s entwined in all US Voter history. And still DC & Puerto Rico and prevented from becoming states.
106 people need to be voted out.
These 106 republicans should be charged with treason and put in prison, along with trump and McConnell.
@Bobby B what’s an infedel? If you mean infidel, that has to do with religion.
Quid Pro PAC money.
Don’t forget the 17 attorney generals. They need to be held accountable also.
They will !
Just like Rome in the days of Nero & Caligula.
I wasn’t there, so it’s all new to me.
Yes. You are correct ! 👍⭐
Did you know Hunters nicknme is Caligula ?
What.
Would.
Caligula.
Do?
(I saw that interrogative on the t-shirt of a nonagenarian historian.)
Our country is burning while Trump plays golf. 🎻
Remember those 106 republicans. Never let them be re-elected. Ever. Just like those 8 who went tp Russia on July 4.
Who are they
They will be reelected because they are doing what their constituents want them to do.
@mark bodman 👈 This is a recently created (or registered after suspension of previous account) troll account. Do not engage with it. Its only purpose is to incite dissension and spread misinformation
@mark bodman You silly muppet.
None of what you post is true.
Trump’s own legal team has stated in court repeatedly that they have no evidence of, or knowledge of and voter fraud or illegal activity
Some one please put the Name of these Republicans who defined our Democracy their name should go viral . The walk of shame
The tDump legacy, he tried to become a dictator and failed, or he did.
And should pay the price of any traitor.
@tlak they should, yes. But we’ve become soft towards traitors to this institution.
Seditious abuse, traitors to democracy
Agreed. Bidens group all need to be hanged except for Biden. Hes just an innocent puppet for the taking.
Funny how bearly 8 months back leading crypto currency traded for about 7000USD , it’s currently trading above 18,500USD , I’ve always told those who have cared to listen that crypto currency in general is here to stay , it’s our present and our future in the market , the BTC chart would obviously reveal immerse gains recorded by holders within this period , but that’s just earning in bit compared to what crypto traders earn weekly , been coping the signal trades of renouned trading expert Daniel Wright to near perfection , made over 11btc within two months of trading , for strictly trading related troubles , Daniel may be reached on whatsap +178 65 27 2947 and tale.gram @ Danielwrightfx. The world is waking up to digital currency
Don’t forget treason. They should all be charged with treason against the United States for promoting an overthrow of an election.
These 17 states are acting in a seditious manner, we can’t take this laying down.
@AJ Stop spreading fake information. The states have a right to change electoral procedures. These changes were voted on in those states by both Republicans and Democrats.
Them 17 States could be the start of a Civil War
@AJ Haha clear evidence? Rudy failed to present any, Sidney failed to present any. What happened to the kraken? Whimpered out. NOBODY has shown clear evidence of anything but the intent to subvert the election outcome. You’ve had your chance, but the TrumpTitanic is still hitting icebergs and is still going down.
The War Between the States was fought once and it may be needed again if people don’t wake up.
well man up
As far as I’m concerned GOP need to be replaced with another party.
@Dan Hue It would be better if the U.S. just split into two countries. Let blacks create their state of Wakanda. Actually, the split into three nations. Wakanda, a left wing communist utopia, and a conservative white third nation. That should work…
@Dan Hue from ur mouth 2 gods ears
I think it already has.
It is being replaced right before your eyes by the Nazis or communist or a dictatorship. The world is watching and waiting to see which way the Divided States goes. Your democracy is under siege!!!!!
@Robert Mitchell The U.S. is an empty vessel.
Mitch literally doesn’t care about Human beings.
He has much to account for at the end of his life. And Mitch that will happen.
@Brigida Banfelder he will never be held accountable.
@Alaska Pirates Yes he will. Before God. I believe it.
Why do they keep reelection Moscow Mitch. Is Kentucky that uninformed. Haven’t been there. Don’t wavy to go.
@Shayne A Keith Beats me!!! fools. stupidity. willful ignorance. all of the above and more.
They didn’t break faith in democracy, they broke their oath and should all be indicted.
The Republican is an organized crime syndicate.
And put them in state prisons and let the prisoners with no violent convictions go to make room for them. No minimum security country club detention centers either. Let them pay for their own encarceration from their bs pension they get for life for just serving one term. Think that bs needs to be addressed also.
I don’t care much what is done (indicted, impeached, drawn and quartered) but SOMETHING MUST BE DONE. This is over the line and not just a little bit. If the powers that be won’t defend our democracy it falls to us, the 80 million who voted for sanity and reality. The powers that be cannot let this stand. They had their shot at all legal means and failed miserably. That ship has sailed. Biden is President Elect no matter how much they want to whine and cry about it. Further attempts to overturn the will of the people is sedition if not treason.
@Jarry Sciligo I agree Jerry. Those 106 representatives are followers and not leaders. They should exposé their names because if one of the is from my state like the crooked AG hete from Texas I want to know and think I have the right to know.
By who if they win the senate after the January 5 runoff. That’s the same as letting the police police the police.
Trump=fascism.
Trumplicans = fascism.
#DIAPERDON =;FACISM
@Pensa Simpson so. Is. Congress. All. Commies.
Donald Trump the new Hitler.
@Daniel Warner You better believe it. Your democracy is in peril!!!!
GOP needs to uphold the constitution, not Trump’s agenda.
@Stone Men Criminals all criminals ? You are certainly talking about Trump, his family and his enablers!
You should read the Mueller report and the the bipartisan Senate Select Intelligence Committee’s final report that not only more than confirms the Mueller report but also concludes”
> Russia posed and continues to pose a grave counter-intelligence threat
and that the following “USEFUL IDIOTS” all lied under oath
> Trump’s Foreign Policy advisor lied about contacts with Russia
> Trump’s National Security Advisor lied about contacts with Russia
> Trump’s Campaign Chairman lied about contacts with Russia
> Trump’s Deputy Campaign Chairman lied about contacts with Russia
> Trump’s Personal Lawyer lied about contacts with Russia
> Trump’s Political Consultant lied about contacts with Russia
> Trump’s AG lied before Congress under oath
and of course,
> Trump himself lied, in writing, about his contacts with Russia
If you are, at all interested in the TRUTH rather than spouting the LIES and Putin inspired propaganda you seem to thrive on you can find Volume 5 of Senate Select Intelligence Committe report here – – -> https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/documents/report_volume5.pdf
@Borvo Putin inspired propaganda……lmfao…….Ok mr. Cherry-picker……..you are a total hack…..I watched mueller testify…..he had no clue…just like you….the Obama Biden administration was the most corrupt in history……more scandals than any presidency…
@Borvo This is right from the Washington post…….The report, like its predecessors, does not allege a conspiracy or collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia
@Borvo Clapper ,Brennan and Schiff all lied to Congress……Schiff made up a fictional story about a phone call and read it to Congress…….Biden already violated the Logan act….the same thing Flynn was charged with…..
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣BS
They the 106 should be immediately removed from office for breaking their oath of office…
No oath has been broken
They broke their oath to the constitution! Period! There are provisions in the constitution that specify the transition of power. They have become as seditious as the states that broke away from the US in the civil war. This will not stand.
@Majic Lamp i agree. Well guess we will see if our country remains free or if it will be overtaken from within. We are in a bad state at this time. All due to Trump and his insane followers. See what you have done trump supporters?????? THIS IS ALL ON YOU FOR BEING STUPID ENOUGH TO PUT A MAN LIKE TRUMP IN OFFICE. THEN EVEN CRAZIER THAT YOU BELIEVE HIS PROVEN LIES! YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED AS THE PEOPLE IN GERMANY WERE. WITH PEOPLE SAYING HOW COULD THEY HAVE LET THIS HAPPEN????
Then Jailed for election interference…
@MoneySavingOffers oh a YouTube lawyer. What does the law say regarding election interference?
106 members guilty of sedition.
That only carries 20 years in prison. I was hoping “Sedition” would mean Firing Squad.
Like they do in China, where they take them out of the court house back ; No appeals.
This is simply SEDITION and these people are traitors to the constitution and the people.
@Asher Houseman I was in the 82nd. I’m ready to arrest Trump for treason.
@Vernon Hendrickson, If “Reeeeeeeeeeee” doesn’t sound unhinged to you, then you’re unhinged.
@Mr. Zesozadfrack, good burn!
@Vernon Hendrickson No. grow up!
Trump 2021. In prison. With yhe rest of his crew of morons.
We must tell all 106 of them to vacate they’re office in Congress.
