The Briefing with Jen Psaki Mob Mentality: Trump's Pardons Embolden Jan. 6 Rioters
Jen Psaki outlines the GOP's empowerment of insurrectionists pardoned by Trump and the dangerous precedent it sets for future political violence in our country. Next, Jen is joined by Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer for a wide-ranging interview, covering topics including Trump's pardons, her fight to protect abortion rights, the risk of proposed tariffs, and more. Then, Former White House Ethics Czar Norm Eisen joins Jen to discuss why he believes Trump's purge of Inspectors General is illegal, and why he thinks they shouldn't just "roll over for Trump's dictatorial decrees". Later, Jen is joined by Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn who shares his reaction to Trump's pardons of thousands of Jan. 6 convicts and why he feels motivated to continue speaking out in face of the "crushing" news. Jen also shares some thoughts on Pete Hegseth's unprecedented confirmation as Defense Secretary in the face of an avalanche of red flags. Finally, Jen reflects on the various individuals who had the courage to push back against Trump in his first week in office.
