“My question to the Republican Party, to Republican senators, Republican members of the House of Representatives: Do you know the meaning of the word character? Have you ever heard of Margaret Chase Smith, who stood up alone in the well of the Senate, and stood and spoke against Senator Joseph McCarthy in the early 1950s? A true danger to America at that time. Where are they? Where’s Mitt Romney? Where’s Rob Portman? Where are the moderate, sensible Republicans? Why don’t they stand up and speak and combat the loudest voices among us?,” asks Morning Joe contributor Mike Barnicle during this conversation with Joe Scarborough as they worry about the possibility of another event like January 6th striking the country again as many Republicans side with former President Donald Trump in his accusations against the FBI following a search of his home.
