ANOTHER DAY: Republican issues the SHOCKING TRUTH about Trump

Transcript:

a Republican on Capitol Hill admits
she's afraid of voicing her dissent for
fear of retaliation how exciting we've
entered the angry stepdad era of our
democracy this is just another
day every president elected to office
enters that role with some thoughts on
what their legacy might be and that
includes the current guy my proudest
legacy will be that of a peacemaker and
unifier that's what I want to be a
peacemaker and a unifier now whether
that was total BS or half BS half
promotional tie-in no one can say for
sure but what we can definitely say is
his legacy is going to need a little bit
of work we are all
afraid it's quite a
statement
but we are
um we're we're in a we're in a time and
a place where I don't know I I certainly
have not I have not been here before um
and I'll tell you I'm I'm
uh oftenimes very anxious myself about
about using my voice
um because
retaliation is real that was Republican
Senator Lisa Marowski of Alaska
responding to a question from one of her
constituents who asked "What do you say
to people who are afraid right now?" And
her response "I'm afraid too because
retaliation is real." You have to let
that sink in for a minute a
democratically elected official in the
United States of America is afraid to
use her voice for fear of retribution
from this president and his supporters
now there are a few things going on here
all of which are bad kind of like hiring
a terrible clown for your birthday party
and then finding out under all that
makeup
it's Yeah if Marowski fears for her
safety due to our current political
climate then it is a clear sign that our
nation has entered some really dangerous
territory but if the retaliation Rowski
fears is on the political side well then
it's time to hire a sparring partner
because we need you to fight trump wants
you to be afraid he wants everyone to be
afraid his strong armed tactics are
meant to intimidate everyone around him
to do his bidding and when it works he
wins take Iowa Senator Joanie Ernst
earlier this year when Pete Hgsth was
announced to be Donald Trump's pick for
Secretary of Defense Ernst had some
concerns sure there were the affairs the
accusations of financial mismanagement
at his prior job and the fact that he
looks like the kind of guy who would
haze you for not chugging your natty
light fast enough but there was also
this officials overnight in California
confirmed Donald Trump's pick for
defense secretary fox News host Pete
Hegth was in fact investigated for
alleged sexual assault back in 2017
montterrey police released a statement
late last night with some details about
that investigation including that the
alleged victim had bruises on her thigh
and that the alleged incident took place
at a hotel during an overnight hours
trump's pick to run the Pentagon the top
guy for the job had allegations of
sexual assault against him and like many
other people that aren't spineless
Republicans this gave Joanie Ernst pause
on whether to confirm him or not
especially because Ernst herself was an
admitted survivor of sexual assault so
Ernst voiced her concerns publicly and
then this happened a series of online
and social media ads are also putting
the pressure on Ernst some popups
feature her picture asking for
signatures on a petition to confirm
Trump's pick a digital ad praises Pete
Hex before urging viewers to call their
senator but Pete isn't backing down call
your senator today and urge them to
confirm Pete Hex the Hill reports that
the ads cost half a million dollars and
specifically target Iowa now in case you
were wondering that ad was paid for by
an entity called Building America's
Future and if all that building they're
doing is feeling a little bit dystopian
that's because the pack's biggest
contributor to the tune of tens of
millions of dollars is Elon Musk so the
Peacemaker and Unifiers's latest hire
was totally cool with essentially saying
to a US senator and survivor of sexual
assault "Hey uh nice sentency you got
there be a real shame if something
happened to it." And that's not a
stretch around that time Dan Bonino
issued a warning to Ernst writing "Pete
Hegsath will be just fine if you
sabotage his deserved spot as Secretary
of Defense i'll hire him tomorrow
without a second thought on one of the
largest digital content platforms in the
world and his voice will be even more
powerful you however will not be fine
your actions regarding Pete are a red
line for us and by us I mean the
millions of patriots who follow us and
we will never forget what you did you
will be the next Joe Walsh Mitt Romney
Adam Kinzinger or Liz Cheney bank on it
and the punishment for telling Joanie
Erns she will not be fine he gets to be
deputy director of the FBI trump's party
tolerates zero dissent senator Marowski
also stated that she had concerns over
Hegath's nomination and released a
lengthy thoughtful statement detailing
why while she commended his military
service as well as his advocacy for
veterans his statements about women in
combat the allegations of excessive
drinking and sexual assault demonstrated
a lack of judgment for the person who is
supposed to lead the armed forces well
this is how now deputy director Dan
Bonino responded then by far the most
embarrassing member of the Republican
Senate this woman is a disgrace to
humankind and she's a total fraud she
has no integrity and no real skills
other than pulling scams to win
elections she consistently loses this is
the one seat where we're almost better
off with a Democrat is it any wonder why
Mowski is afraid that she fears
retaliation when you have legitimate
misgivings about the prospective leader
of our armed forces the people who
protect all of us Democrat and
Republican and those misgivings are met
with statements that you are a disgrace
to humankind and so having cut their
teeth with someone like Mowski Trump
Elon and their entire machine then set
their sights on Ernst and whether it was
due to fear or the quest to hold on to
power a woman with plenty of valid
reasons to say that heath was a
troubling pick helped confirm an
unqualified and undeserving man to lead
the largest military on the planet when
the strong armed tactics work he wins
how about the current shell of a man and
former senator Marco Rubio rubio ran
against Trump in 2016 for the Republican
nomination and here he is on CNN back
then talking about his now boss in no
uncertain terms you compared Donald
Trump to a third world dictator
yesterday in an interview with the New
York Times how
so well I don't know about a dictator i
said a third world strong man that's
Rubio wanting to set the record straight
so when he gets called out for being a
total hypocrite in the future make sure
you quote him correctly he's running for
president so no matter what he won't be
a dictator unless our republic
completely crumbles which I don't
anticipate it will or if there are
elected officials who are so craven for
attention and power that they're willing
to go along with those dictate ah my bad
strong men and aid in the destruction of
our democracy now I happen not to be a
gymnast like little Marco and so I don't
necessarily understand how someone is
able to twist themselves in such a way
that they could throw their full support
behind a politician after saying this on
national TV for years to come there are
many people on the right in the media
and voters at large that are going to be
having to explain and justify how they
fell into this trap of supporting Donald
Trump unbelievable john Cusack should be
standing outside Marco Rubio's house
playing that on repeat for years to come
there are many people on the right in
the media and voters at large that are
going to be having to explain and
justify how they fell into this trap of
supporting Donald Trump marco Rubio knew
exactly who Trump was then and he fell
in line anyway joanie Ernst floated the
idea of standing up to Trump and when
the pressure campaign came for her she
fell in line too senator Marowski
reasonable people are begging you not to
fall in line there is no doubt that
conservatives have the money and
discipline to primary any elected
senator or representative who stands in
the way of their agenda to which I say
so the what why are you in Congress
or the Senate to show your constituents
that your duty to your country can be
superseded by the strongman tactics of a
guy who loves when his supporters
threaten you online what kind of a
political party do you belong to that
cosigns all of the actions that make you
feel afraid what kind of political party
forces sexual assault survivors to be
forced to confirm alleged sexual abusers
to cabinet level positions is the gig
really that awesome to tie your
political fortunes to this guy look by
standing up to Trump the worst political
fate that you'll suffer is losing an
election and if you need another job
there's always birthday clown at least
you'll get some free cake.
