Organization pledges to haunt ex-Trump staffers so they can't get corporate jobs

Former White House staffers who were responsible for some of the most criticized policies are being held accountable as they move on from Donald Trump to their next jobs.

Speaking to MSNBC on Sunday, Austin Evers, Executive Director of American Oversight, explained that they're not advocating "canceling" Trump staffers, just ensuring that their full resume is understood by whatever company they intend to work for.

MSNBC's John Heilemann explains exactly why the GOP is embracing 'monster' Marjorie Taylor Greene

The newly elected Qanon congresswoman isn't an aberration, according to MSNBC's John Heilemann -- she represents the direction the Republican Party is headed after Donald Trump.

Nicolle Wallace nails GOP for wanting to fight terrorism — until it involved Trump voters

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace worked in the White House on Sept. 11, 2001, and in the years that followed. She noted how things changed in less than 20 years as the Republican Party moved from the party of "law and order" or "national security" the party of domestic terrorism.

"Donald Trump's big lie about election fraud reached a pinnacle when he attacked his own vice president," Wallace said after showing the videos. "And his words inspired his own supporters to chant, 'hang Mike Pence' as they breached the Capitol. A violent and hateful display of a Republican Party radicalized by Trump. And you might think that putting the vice president in mortal danger would have been a line too far for the rest of the GOP. Less than a month after the Capitol insurrection, it seems Trump's party is all too keen to welcome him back with open arms."

Now that Trump is out of office, McConnell voted Tuesday to dismiss the charges because Trump was no longer in office.

In an interview on Tucker Carlson's Fox News program, pro-Trump MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell baselessly claimed that his business is being ruined by a coordinated attack of "hit groups" hired by election vendor Dominion Voting Systems.

"Dominion went on live TV and said they were going to go after Mike Lindell," said Lindell. "Well, they did. They hired hit groups and bots and trolls, went after all my vendors, all these box stores to cancel me out ... it's just a shame. If they can do it to me, Tucker, they can do it to anyone out there."
