Lawrence And Rachel Listen to and Discuss McCarthy Tape On Trump Resigning After Jan. 6 - MSNBC

MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell and Rachel Maddow discuss. Aired on 04/21/2022.

On this tape - you didn't hear what you heard.

And you could only think - what we want you and tell you to think.

We're the GOP!!!

McCarthy being quoted as such - might actually help him become Speaker - if the Repugs take back the House?

Has all of the MSM written off the Dems for 2022? Are they convinced that the Repugs are going to take back the House? Are they pushing that because they know it's going to happen or are they pushing that because they want it to happen?

This is beginning to really piss me off. All these subliminal blips that the Repugs are going to take back the House - because that's what happens in the midterms to the Party in power.

All the subliminal blips on late night talk shows about Biden's age and actions and comments - making him out to be too old to govern. It's all starting to really piss me off. Biden has been really good for the U.S.. Why aren't more of them pushing that meme?

It's like they want the chaos that will follow - if the Repugs take back control.

5. Rachel & Lawrence Spoke About Liz Cheney's Mention Of The 25th Amendment.....

She's on the J6 Committee. Do they need to put Liz on the interview stand to get the details of this conversation about the 25th Amendment?

At this point - I really don't think she would hold back from discussing - their discussions about the 25th. I don't see her taking the 5th on that line of questioning.

I say the J6 Committee needs to grill her on this. Doesn't that make sense?

She's on the Committee which is charged to get to the truth - and she obviously was right in the middle of this discussion...
