Watch this Morning Joe conversation between Mika Brzezinski and Mike Barnicle about Senator Mitt Romney having called out his fellow Republicans who continue to push the myth that President Joe Biden is not the legitimate victor in the 2020 presidential election. “Good for Mitt that he spoke to it. But the larger problem is that we have thousands of people in this country and thousands of organized groups aimed at overthrowing the American government because of one man—Donald J. Trump—and one lie that Joe Biden is not really the legal president of the United States. And that is still out there thick in the air among these crazy people,” says Barnicle about the pro-Trump mob that attacked the Capitol and the rhetoric they continue to propagate.

"The pending impeachment trial is nothing less than a huge distraction for everything that the Biden Administration is attempting to do. We’ve had an enormous action out of the Biden Administration in a very short period of time since the inauguration, and it’s (Biden's) commitment to using government to help people, to help move the nation forward that’s behind all of this,” said longtime Morning Joe contributor Mike Barnicle during this conversation with Willie Geist about President Joe Biden having signed a record number of executive actions in his first week while the Senate is preparing for the upcoming impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump for his role in having stirred up a mob that attacked the Capitol.

Trump’s trampling on democracy

"I’m sitting here for the past few days thinking about the incalculable damage that one man—Donald Trump—has done to this country and to our political system. And I’m wondering if you, like me, have thought back to Adam Schiff’s summation during the impeachment proceedings—when he talked about why Donald Trump had to be impeached, and he raised the question of the Republicans wondering, you know, ‘how much damage could he do?’ And Schiff ended his summation by saying ‘a lot.’ And in my mind harkening back to those words then to today, and what is playing out right in front of the world, I don’t think ‘a lot’ really handles the scope of the damage that Donald Trump has done,” says veteran columnist Mike Barnicle to Washington Post associate editor Eugene Robinson during this Morning Joe conversation about the significant harm President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers have inflicted upon the country as they have actively refused to accept the results of the 2020 election.
