Bizarre episodes of Republican violence in both chambers of Congress today drew attention to the effect Donald Trump is having on the party he leads as his rhetoric becomes more extreme and his elected acolytes grow more belligerent. Claudia Grisales, congressional correspondent for NPR, who was interviewing Rep. Burchett when he was struck in the back from behind by Kevin McCarthy, talks with Alex Wagner about widening fractures within the GOP and the corrupting influence of Trump’s bellicosity.

  1. I’m glad about this stump speech. He didn’t reveal anything we didn’t already know about him, he’s always been a fascist. What this did was get the press to see it, finally. When the press starts calling trump what he is, it may cause a few of his less disgusting followers to do a little reflection and ask themselves if he really is what they want, and who they are. Every follower he loses reduces the chance trump can seize power again, never to relinquish it.

  2. As an American I realize there is a distinct possibility that we are one election away from goose-stepping authoritarianism. I will do my part to keep that from happening, but just like the people in 1930's Europe, it may not be enough.

    There is no culture so great it can't be destroyed by tiny minds.

  3. this news story is absolutely insane. Feel how you will about Trump…. But… You are saying… Because he used the same word as hitler, he is emulating hitler? Vermin is a common insult. This is a wild news story. America sucks.

  4. Well, the republican seditions probably thought they could do more to protect Trump and they’re starting to feel the noose tightening too. That’s why I think they are so antsy, because even their distractions aren’t working.

  5. This is liberal propaganda garbage. Reporters should take responsibility and accountability for not actually doing any real journalism. Just touting the left wing narrative. It's all bull. And you know it.

  6. I Hope Desantis Career Ends At 2024! Same With Mark Wayne GACY, McCarthy Jabbing his own colleague in the kidney, They Are a bunch of hateful losers!! The Party That Runs On Hate!! Starting with the TOP HATER HIMSELF!!

  7. Alex: The convicted killer of George Floyd did not kneel into Floyd's neck for "nearly nine minutes", did he?
    Didn't he knee Mr. Floyd in the neck, preventing blood and air from traversing between his brain and heart, for OVER nine minutes?

    Am I wrong? Words are important.

  8. Wow, really?
    How about, cocaine at the whitehouse, but we dont know who it belongs too.
    Ih but wait lets pull a fire alarm.

    Oh i got it, lets call trump followers a cult.

    You cant make money unless ur chasing money thru hatred.
