'Donald Trump Isn't Interested In Our Democracy' Says Rep. Stacey Plaskett - Velshi - MSNBC

[Rhiannon12866]

On Friday, Donald Trump made his first public remarks since the Jan. 6 hearings began and called out Mike Pence and Bill Barr for not following through with his scheme to overturn the election. Former impeachment manager Rep. Stacey Plaskett isn’t surprised. “Donald Trump is not interested in our democracy,” she tells Sam Stein. “He’s interested in power…and creating a slush fund from the Big Lie for his own monetary gain so of course he’s not going to be upset about that.”

Yet, Trump remains a force in the GOP. He’s still the most popular figure in the Republican Party and Rep. Plaskett notes that many on the right will “do anything to stay in the good graces of Donald Trump and stay in the good graces of what they call the base, many of whom have white supremacist, racist, anti-semitic, anti-American sentiments.” Aired on 06/19/2022.

1. "Donald Trump is not interested in our democracy,"

she tells Sam Stein. “He’s interested in power…and creating a slush fund from the Big Lie for his own monetary gain so of course he’s not going to be upset about that.”

THIS should be shouted far and wide.

4. Of course he's not! Who thought he was interested in democracy???

Democracy considers other people. That is something you could never accuse DJT of. There's only one person he is concerned with, and that is himself.
