Rep. Hakeem Jeffries was a former impeachment manager during the first impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump. He joins Ali Velshi to discuss the fallout from the attack on the Capitol and discusses the upcoming Senate trial for Trumps second trial. He says, the Senate floor is not just going to be a courtroom, it is a crime scene. And that the individual Senators are not just jurors, they were victims and witnesses to the crimes that took place on that particular day.

In recent interviews, Senator Josh Hawley has repeated his grievance that he is being "cancelled" and "muzzled." The irony of Hawley freely and openly discussing his being "muzzled" seems lost on him.
Hawley seems to believe freedom of speech means he has the right to say whatever he wants, truth and facts be damned. He and other elected officials need to understand that words have consequences, especially when they lead to an attack on our nations Capital.
