“I hear people say that Republicans are afraid of Donald – no they’re not. They ARE him,” says @MaryLTrump. They are sticking with the guy who gives them permission “to be their worst selves.” #velshi https://t.co/WouGpaFKE8

This is an excerpt from a special report on the rise of the “Blue Lives Matter” effort, documenting evidence that some political operatives have exploited the effort for an agenda distinct from “defending” police, featuring harrowing videos showing how Trump and MAGA fans brutally attacked, injured and tried to kill police at the Jan. 6 insurrection. The report includes videos from inside the riot, quotes from Trump fans admitting they thought the police should “shoot” BLM protesters but not them, and Trump fans calling police “pigs” and on the side of “Satan.”

MSNBC’s Ari Melber also shows how that documented conduct not only undercuts “Blue Lives Matter” rhetoric, but how many prominent conservative political voices failed to fully condemn the attacks on police. (This is an excerpt of the full report, which includes more context and ran over 23 minutes.) (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. http://www.thebeatwithari.com​). Aired on 03/01/2021.

Donald Trump could become a ‘kingmaker’

There is a lot of support for Donald Trump to become a future kingmaker, says Greg Swenson of Republicans Overseas UK. The former president made his first major speech since leaving office at the CPAC conference in Florida over the weekend hinting he might run again for office. Mr Swenson told BBC World News Donald Trump remained very popular with the party but it was early days and there were other candidates. “There is a lot of support for him to be a kingmaker in the party,” he said.

INTERVIEW: Brian interviews Elizabeth Warren about Republicans’ voter suppression bills and nuking the filibuster to prevent them from taking effect, eliminating $50,000 in student loan debt, and barring Trump from holding office again using the 14th Amendment.

Republicans are trying to block our rights to register and vote since they are getting so unpopular due to radicalization, extremism, violence, racism and Trumpism, they don’t believe they can win elections without manipulation.

Trumpism is QAnon, White Supremacy, Nazism, Anti-Semitism, Racism. The The Trumpism people promise they will not back down and if Trump is not put on the throne as President on March 4th, they will go to the next step of violence and take over our country.
