The House Select Committee investigating the January 6th Capitol riots has identified what investigators see as the tipping point that kicked off the U.S. Capitol riot, and they'll highlight that evidence during their first public hearing.

The panel will show how Donald Trump supporters marching on the U.S. Capitol turned into a violent mob, and Guardian reporter Hugo Lowell told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that one key exchange between Proud Boys member Joe Biggs and another man, Ryan Samsel, was seen as the tipping point in the Jan. 6 insurrection.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough lambasted Republican lawmakers on Wednesday for offering ridiculous excuses to justify ownership of powerful AR-15 rifles.

Senate minority whip John Thune (R-SD) this week claimed AR-15 rifles were necessary to kill prairie dogs in his state, and other Republicans offered similar arguments about using military-style weapons to vanquish various varmints, and the "Morning Joe" host ripped them apart.

The Jan. 6 select committee will start publicly revealing their findings this week, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said those will blow up the political ambitions of Donald Trump's allies in Washington, D.C.

Rep. Elise Stefanik, in particular, has hitched her political fortunes to the twice-impeached former president, and the "Morning Joe" host said the upcoming hearings would deal her a harsh blow.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough ripped special counsel John Durham after the first trial from his investigation ended in an acquittal.

Durham was appointed by former attorney general William Barr to investigate the origins of the probe seeking links between Donald Trump's campaign and Russia, but the first trial from his prosecution ended in an acquittal for Democratic lawyer Michael Sussman, who was charged with lying to FBI agents.

MSNBC's Michael Steele expressed doubt that Republicans intended to negotiate gun safety legislation in good faith.

The former chairman of the Republican National Committee told "Morning Joe" that Republicans had no intention of passing serious legislation in response to the deadly Uvalde massacre, and he said Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) was not nearly as "rational" as President Joe Biden seems to think.

MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Friday examined the "major discrepancies" in the police account of the roughly one hour that a teenage gunman spent at the Texas elementary school where he killed at least 19 children and two teachers.

The Texas Department of Public Safety defended the response by Uvalde police, but "Morning Joe" co-host Willie Geist said the changing narrative of what happened and how officers reacted was jaw-dropping, and he asked NBC News correspondent Ken Dilanian to explain what was so troubling about the law enforcement account.

NBC News reporter Tom Winter spoke to law enforcement experts who were shocked by the police response to the Texas school shooter.

Uvalde police failed to stop 18-year-old Savlador Ramos from entering Robb Elementary School after lingering outside for 12 minutes, and officers waited outside for nearly an hour after he barricaded himself inside a classroom where he killed at least 19 children and two teachers.

MSNBC's "Deadline: White House" on Friday covered shocking reporting on failures by law enforcement responding to the Uvalde mass shooting at Robb Elementary School.

Two days after the massacre, Victor Escalon, the regional director for the Texas Department of Public Safety, refused to answer questions about the long gap in the shooting timeline.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough framed gun safety laws as a moral imperative, and not a political issue.

Republicans have resisted talking about measures to prevent the epidemic of mass shootings, saying it was unfair to politicize gun rights, but the "Morning Joe" host said it was long past time to discuss ways to keep military-style weapons from falling into the hands of killers.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough singled out his friend Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) for refusing to budge on gun safety reform following another elementary school massacre.

An 18-year-old gunman walked into Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, and gunned down at least 19 children and two adults, and the "Morning Joe" host said it was long past time for Congress to restrict access to weapons of mass murder.

A panel of Georgia Republicans spun conspiracy theories about Donald Trump's election loss, and made excuses for his corrupt efforts to overturn his loss.

MSNBC's Elise Jordan spoke to several focus groups of Georgia voters, both Democratic and one Republican, and found GOP voters remained unconvinced the former president lost the election, dismissing the record number of votes received by Joe Biden as implausible and serving up a bizarre conspiracy theory drawn from the recent film "2,000 Mules," by right-wing provocateur Dinesh D'Souza.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough accused David Perdue of sounding a "foghorn" of racist rhetoric in the closing days of his Georgia gubernatorial campaign.

The "Morning Joe" host was disgusted by the former GOP senator, who has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump, after he hurled a litany of racist attacks against Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams over the weekend.
