You're Fired!: Trump Leaves Office In Disgrace, With Record Rebuke - The Beat - MSNBC
On Trump's last day in office, he leaves in more disgrace than most modern presidents, dogged by more convictions of top advisers in his first term than any other president. As Trump faces late backlash, MSNBC's Ari Melber and The New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg discuss what it took to dent Trump's impunity. Aired on 01/19/2021.
'Fed lies!': Juror McConnell Pins MAGA Riots On Trump, With A Catch - The Beat With Ari Melber - MSNBC
Self-described "Grim Reaper" Mitch McConnell is now saying Trump "provoked" the insurrection that occurred at the Capitol, possibly providing new signs of how Trump's trial will go. MNSBC's Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber points out that while McConnell went farther than most elected Republicans to blame Trump, he carefully used the word "provoke" instead of "incite." NYU law processor Melissa Murray and Dr. Jason Johnson both join to discuss the implications of this distinction. Aired on 01/19/2021.
