Chris Hayes: "They attempted a coupthere's no better way to describe what happened. Trump and his allies did everything they possibly could, tried every possible avenue to overthrow a democratic election and install an authoritarian ruler in defiance of the people's will. Aired on 12/10/2021.

(205,202 posts)I don't even have the words, this was so OTT %$#! up! Those who attempted to orchestrate this definitely need to face prison, this was unprecedented in our history, like Chris said - and it's the leaders of this violent insurrection who need to pay, not just the deluded "followers." This must never be attempted again..

(205,202 posts)Terrifying for the women - who were just volunteer election workers! Yet TFG put their lives in danger and disrupted their lives. Who in good conscience will be willing to volunteer now??

(205,202 posts)And we need to get to the bottom of everyone who was responsible - so nothing like this can ever happen again.

Thanks again for all your posts!

Of course the Criminal President without scruples sent his goons to harrass the poll worker.

Thank you for posting.

(205,202 posts)I even watched the repeat - at 2am! Chris Hayes has been underrated IMO. I started paying closer attention after I happened to tune into a Town Hall he moderated and he explained the complex issues so clearly. He knows his stuff.
And this horrible experience, perpetrated by TFG and his minions, needs to be prosecuted so it can never happen again. It not only terrified these women and upended their lives, but will discourage our experienced, honest and hardworking volunteer election workers from serving - many of whom are senior citizens.

(3,845 posts)If the news media can get its hands on all of this stuff, and it is so obvious, why isn't the DOJ charging Trump with crimes, arresting him and jailing him without bail?

(205,202 posts)But we know that there is even more to learn, and all that has been learned has not been made public yet. Zoe Lofgren said on Rachel Maddow that the Committee has already interviewed over 250 witnesses throughout the country. And Liz Cheney announced last week that there will be public hearings after the first of the year.
