McCarthy says he intends to give Marjorie Taylor Greene a talking-to after threats to kill Democrats
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said that he's concerned about newly-elected Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA) for her threats to execute Democrats and FBI agents. According to Axios, he intends to speak with her.
A CNN report out Tuesday revealed a series of threats that Greene made against Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) in 2018 and 2019. According to the report, she threatened to execute Pelosi. She also threatened to do so with former President Barack Obama and former Secretaries Hillary Clinton and John Kerry. Greene was also found to have "liked" several posts that called for FBI agents' deaths.
Rachel Maddow: The GOP is a complete dumpster fire and Democrats are just trying to govern
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow opened her Tuesday show talking about the disasters facing the Republican Party as they fall out of power.
She noted that as the second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump begins, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is already dealing with his own hypocrisy. Once the House impeached Trump, McConnell told Schumer that he wouldn't bring the Senate back to vote on conviction until after Trump was out of office. Now that Trump is out of office, McConnell voted Tuesday to dismiss the charges because Trump was no longer in office.
Arizona state Republicans in Washington during Capitol invasion refuse to turn over phone records: report
On Tuesday, The Arizona Republic reported that two Arizona state lawmakers who were in Washington, D.C. during the violent invasion of the U.S. Capitol are refusing to hand over phone records.
"The Arizona Republic asked the state House of Representatives to provide any such messages from Rep. Mark Finchem, R-Oro Valley, and then-Rep. Anthony Kern, R-Glendale, under public records laws," reported Andrew Oxford. "But responding through a private attorney, and not the House, the duo said they would not turn over any records that are on their 'personal devices,' arguing that these are not public records."
