This Morning Joe conversation with Willie Geist, Katty Kay and Mike Barnicle revolves around the state of America and the Republican Party, after former Vice President Mike Pence was confronted by a voter unhappy with his actions on January 6, 2021 and a Trump-appointed judge blocked key Biden Administration agencies and officials from meeting and communicating with social media companies about “protected speech,” in an extraordinary preliminary injunction that could have profound effects on the First Amendment. “It’s midnight in America for the Republicans,” says Barnicle. “America is at its end. The diminishment of America is obvious to everyone, they tell us. The lights are about to go out on our democracy, they continue to tell us. They have all of these contrived ads.…They can’t wait to out negative the other candidate on a stage, a platform or in a Q&A. And you keep wondering: When is America going to—and when are Americans going to—say what is wrong with these people? What has happened to this country in the sense of what the Republicans have done to this country?”
