“That is the fact. And that is why, in probably the most high-stakes negotiation of the second, Joe Biden is speaking to Marjorie Taylor Greene,” Wagner stated to snickers from her different co-hosts.

ALEX WAGNER: Biden understands the reality, which is McCarthy has no energy in that caucus. He is alongside for the journey. And as a lot as he is gonna say, not all of you, the fact is the madmen are operating the asylum. On the very finish of the speech, Biden is making a form of–in some methods, platitudes—in the direction of you understand what democracy means. 

And there’s no place for political violence in America. In America, we should shield the suitable to vote, not suppress that elementary proper. We honor the outcomes of our elections, not subvert the desire of the individuals. There’s a season wherein that is stating the apparent. And but half of this room didn’t rise up. McCarthy, the perfect Kevin McCarthy may do was applaud from his seat.

As a result of as you have been saying, speaking about it, because it was occurring, his Republican Get together doesn’t wish to acknowledge how democracy works, doesn’t wish to take subverting the desire of the individuals off the desk. That is the fact. And that is why, in probably the most high-stakes negotiation of the second, Joe Biden is speaking to Marjorie Taylor Greene.
