About 9:08 ET - Hillary basically saying the press doesn't do enough. They just say the circus is here. You can watch the circus.
Need to tell the people what it means.
In 2016 there weren't interviews and there weren't track records about Trump.
Then references jailing all of his political opponents, the members of the press. One is too many.
Joe talks about the student protests. The college students radicalizing of Madeline Albright, Hillary and others. That Hillary tried to bring about a two state solution and calling her a war criminal.
That Madeline Albright was slander in death.

(51,455 posts)And there's one thing to cover the circus and the circus is covered I mean people can't stop covering the circus every utterance every insult every outrageous action or comment it gets covered the context is often missing what does that really mean and I think it's imperative especially for members of the press who understand as you were just pointing out the world has been here before people did not take the kind of threats that we saw in the 1930s is seriously as they should including American journalists you know people were taking it face value that oh this can be control he may have said some outrageous things but you know a little little institutions will hold a determined demagogue unfortunately supported by members of his political party other enablers people who care more about a future tax cut than the sanctity of the Constitution are falling in line behind him they are trying to excuse some of the most outrageous things that you just recited and I don't think the press has done enough to basically say okay the circus is here you can watch the circus but let's tell you what that means let's talk to people who have a real understanding of how dictatorships evolve let's look at the people that he admires and what they've already done you know back in 2016 we didn't have interviews with him we didn't have track record of 4 years in office you know there was a lot of speculation and you know I understood that people wouldn't take what I said necessarily is Gospel about what I thought could happen I get that but now we know I've seen him and we've heard him and so we need to do a better job of making it absolutely clear that someone who says these things you know maybe he wouldn't jail all of his political opponents one is one too many maybe he wouldn't try to force out of business you know members of the press who didn't agree with him one is one too many and maybe this would be our last election because someone who will not accept the validity of an election is someone who doesn't believe in elections he believes in his own power his own right to power and his demand that he be installed regardless of whether he gets the votes or not
